pre-sleep rituals

[xjohnny3589]

So lately I've been having a pretty hard time going to sleep... Do any of you guys have any routines before you go to sleep? A quick fap? Earplugs? a left pinky toe dipped in camel blood to the nose? Etc

I just close my eyes.

Lie in bed. Attempt sleep. Fail sleep. Reddit on phone. Repeat.

I setup a TV show to run very quietly on my PC and try to get it at a volume where I can just hear it, it tends to help me sleep.

Sounds weird but before I go to bed I do a quick workout with some dumbbells. It makes me want to relax and once I calm down and my heart rate goes to normal I can sleep like a baby - it usually takes 5 minutes for me to fall asleep.

 

I make sure I use the natural light to make me tired, so my light is never on in my room and I leave the curtains open. In the evening I'll be playing a game of BF3 with a friend which makes me a bit tired too.

The original plan was bed at 12, it's now 5:15

I think it was researched that using your phone/PC/laptop/TV/tablet just before bed actually makes you more alert, and so much harder to sleep.  It's good to keep away from it 30 mins before

Watch tv before you go to bed dont go on internet for atleast an hour before bed. Also fapping

[qwertywarrior]

step 1 : feel sleepy

step 2 : Go to sleep

 

 

seems people dont understand these steps

[Noctus]

6hr fapping session that leave's enough time for an hr's kip so that im refreshed and revitalized for the next day's challenges.

I need noise, and yeah ditch the technology for a while before bed like everyone says. Take some Benadryl too to make you drowsy without realizing it. A cold room seems to help.

It might be easier. But it is hard to resist!

I go pee, and then take some melatonin

60% of the time, it works everytime

 

for real though, get some melatonin supplements at your local grocery.

1. Go to bed when I'm tired.

2. Go on youtube for a hour until I'm really tired.

3. Sleep.

I try to do something productive. I immediately fall asleep.

I watch some ASMR videos. If you don't know what ASMR is: "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs."

[Quantum]

Watch videos until I get tired and pass out

6.45 AM here now. I'm still wide awake. So bad at this.

[Giddyguy]

[Hidden Orange]

Huh, what a coincidence that Pooch Café had a strip on this.
