sleeping What puts you to sleep?

[Japlabot]

I am sleeping right now. I'm a 32-year-old technologically illiterate woman named Sandra with 3 kids when I am awake. This is my other life where I am a 25-year-old IT geek named Simon who goes on Neowin all night. Sandra isn't aware that I am more than a dream who actually uses her computer at night, but I am aware of her. Who is the real personality and who is the impostor, who knows? I try not to leave any trace behind (except for keeping her PC in good service) otherwise she will start acting on her suspicions and get some meds which would inevitably 'kill' me. She doesn't know what Neowin is so I'm safe to post this.

And ermm, how much sleep have you been deprived before writing that? :p

So, what puts you to sleep?

As for me, I don't sleep much, only get 5, at max, hours of sleep in 24 hours.

Too much anxiety and depression, it is, for me.

What about you?

Yep,

About 5 hours a night also. If I REALLY want to go to sleep though all I have to do is set in front of the boob tube. Guaranteed reaction is to start knodding off!! Exactly why I DON'T watch much tv, besides the fact there ususally isn't a thing worth watching anyway!!

One show that does keep me awake though is watching that wrestling crap on Monday night. To busy laughing at all that fake, ignorant, script laden stupid BS!! Unfortunately, I DON'T watch it though as it is just to stupid for me!!

I usually watch tv before bed and set the timer on, that usually gets sets me off.

There's a particular spot on the sofa..its the corner of the sofa that stretchs around two walls. When I sit there its like getting injected with sleep I go iota like a light.

Usually lying in bed, in less than 5 minutes I'm sleeping.

To everyone that has trouble falling asleep (and I mean severe trouble) be carefull with prescription drugs like benzodiazepines. You can get addicted to them pretty easily and the physical withdrawal can be a bitch.

Try alternative methods like melatonin, exercise, reading first before jumping in there.

[shamilbear]

Lying close to the person I love, after an intimate event (not necessarily sexual....)

Some people are way too lucky :cry:

[Hum]

Aliens would wake me up ! :woot:

[Charisma Veteran]

White noise of a fan, wind or a breeze (or the flow from the fan) in my face, and total darkness.

Otherwise I can't sleep at all. And it takes me ages to fall asleep no matter what, but at least I'm usually OK once I can get there.

[Rudy]

Sexual activities usually does the trick, otherwise I'll toss and turn for an hour before falling asleep

That's me. My wife is so jealous as it takes her forever to get to sleep. I told her the key is to relax but she can't seem to do it.

[PsYcHoKiLLa]

Rubbing one out, off to fairy land in 5 min.

This.

I've been very tired.

My trip to work takes 1h20m by train, same to come back.I arrive home near 9pm...

[BeerFan]

I've started taking melatonin pills sometimes before bed. They get me to sleep faster, and keep me asleep longer. Only downside is that I feel a bit groggier when I first wake up, and it takes a bit more to get going.

[ghostrider86]

Good sex. :)

[derkim]

at the moment nothing... :( :cry:

[spy beef]

Watching the Canucks.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Reading a book or listening to music.

Tried both of them. Together and separately every night, and still nothing

It is strange reading that some of you guys who suffer from depression are not sleeping very well since depression causes hipersomnia. Sometimes I sleep up to 9 hours :s

[Alwaysonacoffebreak]

Well I usually fall a sleep half way trough sex so guess that would help. :rofl:

I also read that somewhere.

Its not just depression though, there are other factors involved too. Anxiety e.t.c

TV, and in the morning meaning to get up at a certain time usually puts me back to sleep :p

[Osiris]

I just start counting down my 99 problems and before you know it sleep aint one of em
