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:

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By matthiew · Posted

      Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
