3hrs later and still awake

How do you get yourself to fall asleep on a restless night? I just keep thinking and I am trying to turn it off, but it isn't working tonight.

Hey.. it is 4am. I have to be up at 5:30am.
Let's hope someone has a good idea!

sex with your husbands or boyfriends? 😛

I realize that at any given time a certain number of people will have a sleepless night, but here it was apparently common enough that it was remarked upon by several posters. My question, then, is, was this the result of a planetary placement that we posters shared? Also, just for the record, I personally have no idea how to beat the sleepless problem, as I normally go out like a light within 5 minutes or so--

counting to 100 works but counting backwards is even better because you need to think more on the number sequence and you automatically start to match your breathing while your consciousness is focused on your breathing your subconscious rises and eventually they will pass that baton??_??_if you haven't fallen asleep by 30 pretend your walking downhill into a forest or ladder, steps whatever as long as its going down and it gets darker and darker till your in darkness ??_.when you get to 10 seconds tell yourself using your subconscious mind "you know its your subconscious because you hear your conscious mind speak in your head but your subconscious is just an instant "knowing thought" that when you you reach zero you are going to fall asleep??_as soon as you reach 0 you will most definitely fall asleep has 100% success rate with me??_..but if your mind is very active and you reach zero and you haven't fallen asleep you will definitely feel the "spell" over you and you will be prepared to sleep eventually??_..of course this is a technique like many that can be mastered??_..I used it a lot If I ever need to use it these days the second I count from 100 to 99 I yawn automatically and my breath evens out. so yeh try it if your desperate

oh and another thing is to turn off and step away from your computer for christ sake!

Trust me, if that was a viable option then this thread wouldn't have been created lol. I wouldn't mind missing sleep then! 😉

Probably too late to help this time, but count to 100. Not sheep. Just count. Focus completely on counting. When you reach 100, or if you lose your place and start waking up, start over. Just keep doing this.

I haven't slept either, and when I counted to 4 or so, I decided I was hungry so I went to get food and came to play on dxp. lol

@Rouge - boyfriends and husbands need sleep too. lol

Lol always a good solution for entertainment. I saw your name thread...

I will have to try those counting things next time. I felt tired, but the fact that I took a three hour nap yesterday is probably why I couldn't sleep. I was on the internet only after 3 hours....figured out quickly it was a bad idea and for off lol. Darn DXP!!
