I envy people that fall asleep as fast as a baby

When I read this title I was like, "okay, why is this guy mad at babies".

I do TOO; except when THEY are DRIVING !

Eagle

Don't come to Japan!

They can sleep very quick and even wake up by Instinct!

I know that problem, sometimes it helped not to concentrate on "i must fall asleep now" rather letting ones thoughts flow a little and try to relax.

Lol, No but seriously I see people falling asleep everywhere at airports, the bus, school, I once missed a flight and ended up at the airport and flying for 48 hours. For nothing in the world could I fall asleep, very frustrating.

you need to think boring thoughts

try and imagine my brain waves JUST before clicking this thread. that should do it.

that's no good if you're ready to bugout

you'll need to catch a nap wherever you can then, in a cave, on a mountain ledge, floating on mega tsunami debris, etc

I agree, the military teaches the importance for power naps. But I can't power nap for anything in the world

LOL

You should try drinking beer and smoking weed!!

It's how 90% of people on here sleep!

The trick is to not care whether or not you actually fall asleep.

Say you felt like "gee i'm gunna be up all night at this right" then respond: SO BE IT!

Just stop trying to fall asleep. Close your eyes and be comfortable thinking about whatever comes to mind.

Weed makes my sleep dependent than I get the munchies so I drink beer with food before falling asleep and end up having to wake up with heartburn and having to piss.

Get some iodine Buddy I bet your pineal gland is solid as a rock if you Do not DREAM.....

I take Kelp and only use sea salt

Try a basic sleep exercise.


Lay on your back and calm your mind. You have to tell yourself to stop thinking.

As a new thought creeps into your head you cut it off and stop it before it has a chance to finish.

You might have to cut off a few idea's before your brainwaves change.


After they change you will feel relaxation.


That is when you should roll to your side and fall right asleep.

Chamomile, or valerian.
Count backwards from 300.
Good luck. FWIW, I am one that can fall asleep at night in 45 secs. BUT, I can not take a nap in the day.

Same here. I also envy people that stay asleep like one too, I have to use a sound machine at night, and not to mention having to go to the bathroom numerous times before falling asleep. It sucks

I need a fan running to fall asleep even in winter.

bananas have the vitamins and amino acids that soothe and calm the nervous system. Bananas are an excellent way to bring on the calm it takes to fall asleep

sometimes if you get realy tired its hard to fall asleep. also dont watch tv, listen less music, sit at a park more. this wont fix your nature but you will sleep better.

The bathroom thing can be easily solved by making sure you are well hydrated during the day and cutting back on liquids 2 hours before sleep. If you are one of those people that needs a glass of water by your night stand simply take small sips don't drink a whole glass of water

I barely watch TV and don't have a TV in my room for that reason.

I'm an avid outdoors person

Seriously BugOut, check what i said above. It really is the best thing you can do.

The one thing that'll keep you awake more than anything else (save annoying noises and flashing lights) is thinking about how you're not asleep yet!

Try it out tonight and let me know how it goes x

Maybe this helps

Thread: Let's help people with insomnia

I used to be like a insomniac on crack. Heres how you heal OP. All the tips Ill give you healed me. I used to lay awake until 2 or 3 am, even though I was dead tired.

Now I fall asleep within 20 minutes.

Avoid white refined sugar, MSG, and aspartame. All of which can act as neural stimulants.

You sound low on vitamin b which results in insomnia

Eat a slice of whole wheat bread, like toast everyday.

White sugar was the hardest thing to give up . But I did it. I cant have cookies, candy or cake, Just think like a diabetic. But its good to give up if it allows me sleep.

Sugar for some reason gets me wired and my mind wont shut down at night when it should.

See the thing is I don't have insomnia. I am just a very light sleeper and unless I'm in a quiet, dark cold room I don't fall asleep easily.

Plus I'll be nice to be able to sleep in a plane or take a power nap during the day. I see people that can sit in sofas and pass out like nothing. I'll be nice to be able to do that. Like a Mexican Siesta.

Nah! Babies are cool just not my thang!!. Too many people in this world anyways.

I rather have the freedom of traveling and seeing the world but I wish I could sleep like a baby in my travels.
