What do you do to get to sleep?


Recommended Posts

Some people have the inability to go to sleep as soon as they get into bed. I personally do myself. I just want to know what you do to help yourself get to sleep.

I am supposed to be in bed by 10:15 or 10:30 and I am usually asleep by 11:00 or 11:15. I just talk to myself for more than 20 minutes and I just fall asleep as soon as I get sick of hearing myself.

In fact, I told somebody at school that, and they didn't believe me, mainly because I do talk...a lot...more than I should.

I'm usually exhausted by the time I hit the pillow. I work 730am-5pm, and I'm up at 5:15am. I get home around 6pm, eat dinner, watch some T.V. and pass out. I fell asleep at 7:45pm last night and didn't get up till 5:15am. :o

I read, or play my DS with the lamp off. These things clear my mind of the stuff that normally would keep me awake, I think that's why they work.

Those precise two things have the opposite effect on me, the other night I started playing on the DS and was still there at 7am as wide awake as ever. (I had it on charge at the time)

At the moment I just watch Big Brother, works like a charm, watch that for an hour or so and I'm well away :) It usually takes me at least few hours normally though to nod off.

you talk to yourself to get yourself to sleep? I must say that is fairly unusual.

i go for:

-sharing some (more than some) wine with my gf

-smoking a cigarette

-reading 10 chapters of a book (I read relatively quickly)

-working 50-60 hours a week

Does the trick. :)

I can't go to sleep unless I have some kind of background movie or tv on, I just have to be listening to something to get to sleep. Other times I'll mix sleeping pills and a couple of beers to knock me out. Other than that, sometimes I just walk laps around my yard until I get tired enough.

You either stay up late, lied down on stomach or listen to very loud music. Oh yes! No ****!

Just the other day my brother was listening to some very loud R&B music. I slept in like a baby. :sleep:

To explain this scientifically; It is the sound waves massaging your brain that make you go to sleep. :yes:

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
