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:

      Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nas · Posted

      The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
