Can't Sleep

[Guest Philosophy]

I can't sleep I lied in bed (talked to a friend and listened to music) for an hour or so... which usually works. Then for the last 30 mins I went for a run... still not anywhere near tired... if I am not tired don't sleep?

Start counting sheep.

Melatonin Can work, although it depends on the person.

Wish it were that easy. This is not a common problem for me.

I tried that when I was a child (Had problems back then) and it seems to give me nightmares...

Works brilliantly for me

 

Also, maybe try using a projector on very low brightness and no lights on to stimulate natural production of Melatonin. F.lux may also stimulate said production.

Drink some Zzzquil that will help. It's 2:10am here and I just woke up since I got to be at work by 4am.

Man, I used to love waking up at 2am or so. I remember working 1st and 4th shift ( I used to be in law enforcement) those were the days.

Really? I work 911 dispatch. We have 12hr shifts. I work the nights. So I wish I was asleep lol, but I'm stuck at work. Sometimes, it's when you're thinking too hard about sleeping that you have the hardest time trying to.

Who needs sleep? Sleep is for the weak. (F*cking tired behind the screen..... Yeah I need to sleep really bad)

[GuruMeditationError]

I generally boot up a game, drop my chair to its lowest position (stretch my legs out (if you can; I arranged my desk specifically so I could)) and sit back with a 360 PC controller and move nothing but my thumbs and eyeballs to conserve energy. :0/

I sometimes put some ASMR videos on, I dont even have it, but they are relaxing and put me to sleep

[RatedBlam]

Maybe you just need to accept defeat.

[DimasRMDO]

Keep all distracting stuff away from you like Laptop, TV (unplug it), phones, bla bla bla. Also set the room temperatures, mess around until you find your sweet spot. Drink warm tea/milk or maybe it's your bed....

Play pink noise while falling asleep

I tried that some time ago but I couldn't find a working trigger.

Don't use your phone or pc. The light triggers some hormones in your brain so you feel less sleepy. The best thing is to turn of all electronics an hour before bedtime. I know it sounds hard but it works

[SkywardKkalox]

Try to study. It always helps me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I dont get "triggered" I dont get tingles, I just find it relaxing

Wait, you're working 911 dispatch and you're on Linustechtips at work? I'm liking your priorities.

Don't go for a run if you can't sleep, that only makes things worse as far as I know, do that during the day.

[Ridska]

Sleep depravation... So you have it too eh ?

 

Iv been there , usually  it happens when you sleeps less and work hard.

 

Just start thinking about how many atoms are in youre bed and try to count and guess them .

 

So to put this in a nutshell : bore youre self to sleep .

[themaniac]

pretend your sleeping, that works for me when I cant sleep

drink some scotch or a good amount of beer it helps
