Insomnia

Hi.

[Mikegundy'sMullet 64]

I've dealt with it for years. It's enhanced my productivity and grumpiness. 

[Judge Roybeanbag 11860]

Hai!   All hail thunderstorms. 

[Hefeweizen 5443]

Used to have it like crazy. Not in the last few years. Exercise helps, a lot. 

[Anastasis 23716]

I’ve found that drinking helps a lot. That and 5htp and or melatonin. 

[AM Wood 335]

maybe ask your boyfriend to sleep on the couch for a couple nights.

[SKJ 1317]

I had a thread called insomnia on the other board a few years ago. I still have it

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Smoke a bowl.

[buffalobill989 167]

zanax. helps quite abit

[former alkie 72]

Ambien = godsend

[happyhookem 224]

Not insomnia, per se, but since the whole prostate cancer thing and the treatment I get up about every 2 hours to piss. I guess I should be thankful I at least wake up.

[Droopy 2639]

I’m awake right now. Go To Sleep, Droopy!!

 

I wonder what Surly is up to...

Aside from exercise, I have two possible solutions:

1) A podcast called "Sleep with Me." It's an intentionally boring motherfucker with a cranky voice who tells wandering bedtime stories. His shit usually puts me under after about 15-20 minutes.

2) If that doesn't work, I go for an app called "A Soft Murmur" which allows you to control sounds of waves, wind, rain, thunder, and whatnot.

Between the two, I've been able to manage some really quality sleep lately. 

[SKJ 1317]

AMSR?

ASMR?

AR15?

Some shit like that is supposed to be good.

[elfenix 34744]

Hi?

[Jkwellborn 7032]

Terrible movie.

[demos 3036]

Under Siege 2 will put me to sleep within the first 5 minutes. Perfect for insomnia.

[Bullneck 19511]

My insomnia went away after we had kids.  I went from laying awake for an hour every night to falling asleep 2 minutes after my head hit the pillow.  

[Dusty 15]

It’s not insomnia. I’m up really early.

The my pillow has worked wonders for me.

[Doc Holliday 199]

Is it insomnia when I can't take a nap during the day?

disagree.  pacino captured the hopeless desperation of the character very vividly. 

[Jkwellborn 7032]

I thought Robin Williams was the insomniac. I haven’t seen it since right after it came out.

[futureman 22691]

I think robin williams was the killer. pacino was the cop who couldn’t sleep because it was always daylight.

YouTube episodes of Bob Ross.  Don't have to watch if you don't want.  You can just listen.  Next thing you know...time to make the donuts.

Yeah, Williams was the killer. I just thought it was because he couldn’t sleep because it’s always daylight in Alaska

[TexArcher 39037]

Insomnia is a very good movie.

 

[NeverMarryAStripper 22277]

No Al Pacino is the one who couldn't sleep, because he wasn't from there.  I didn't really like the movie, but I thought Robin Williams was excellent in it.

And Robin Williams was excellent. And Maura Tierney was a babe. So was Hilary Swank. I thought the ending was solid and not telegraphed. Then you realize that was really the only way it could end. I wouldn't call it a classic or a 10 or anything but it's a good flick. Lots of great scenery too.

And because he had a guilty conscience.

5htp

zquil gummies.  Holy fuck they’re amazing.  

If you’re off a Bender Xanax.  Resets the brain.  

[pacman 7502]

Had this issue big time since my grandmother passed 3 weeks ago.

Get those zquil gummies. They sound badass. I wish I had me some now.

[Jkwellborn 7032]

I had a lot more trouble trying to sleep after mine passed last year. I’m usually in the bed and out in a couple of minutes but not then. Hate to hear that

[High Plains Drifter 11186]

I lay in the recliner and watch golf in the afternoon if I want to nap. Or an NFL game.

I don’t take naps.  ever.  except in this exact scenario, sub couch for recliner. 

Edited October 26, 2018 by futureman
also, you don’t lay in the recliner, you lie in it.

[Sbbruin 22142]

I have insomnia.  Usually i wake up at 3 or 4 am and just can't fall back asleep.  I haven't napped where I have fallen sound alseep during the day in decades unless I was sick.

But sometimes soothing ocean sounds do the trick.

 

[Sbbruin 22142]

I would like to be sleeping right now.

[Loco 3754]

You should stop watching PAC after dark...  

also if you're in Cali medical marijuana party pot will help...  I rarely partake but when I do...  sleep soooo good

check out this old stoner

Why am I still awake?

You didn't touch yourself?

[bluto 4995]

Holy shit this blows, over 2 weeks now of waking up at 430-5 after crashing at 1130-12 and either taking an hour+ to fall back to sleep or not at all. No change in habits (gym/diet), maybe at least partly due to time change Bc I was a rock solid 12-8 sleeper before this. 

[Jkwellborn 7032]

You didn't touch yourself?

Puts me to sleep every time.

Soak them in vodka.

Why do all the doubts and fears and other stressors show up at 2:30am?
