i have a hard time getting to sleep at night.. a few nights ago i stayed up until 4 and then got 3 hours of sleep. it has affected my sleeping pattern since then. i can't go to bed until it's four in the morning.
i am really tired all day while i am at work and it makes me lazy and lightheaded.
what can i do? about to pass out at work.
try sleeping pills
they don't work for me.. i have tried..Quote:

i dunno, i am not really hyper, maybe i should just work out before i go to bed instead of when i usually do.
You need to exercise more. Wear yourself out.
my stamina is too difficult to wear down. i work out too much already. maybe if i switch around the times i work out a bit, i will fall asleep easy.
i am usually tired for 10 to 20 minutes after i work out, and then i go through this shakey phase where i can't pick up anything and then i am ready for more working out.
urghhh last night was very difficult. i started singin a lullaby on my bed with my guitar in the dark.
i called it the 'closing your ****ing eyes' lullaby.
i tried everything! i was just sitting in my bed doing random shit in the dark.
Maybe you need to get out into the sun more often
i am outside every day. i spend my weekends fishing with friends.Quote:

last night was a little better... i fell asleep at 3! woohoo!
are you *doing* anything when you're trying to get to sleep? You need to be lying there in complete stillness and try to clear your mind. If you're browsing on your laptop or listening to music or reading a book, it wont work. Other than that, are you particularly worried or excited about something that's making your brain THINK relentlessly about it as soon as the light goes out?
well... those are the things that keep me up.
meditation usually helps me sleep. making the room dark helps. a warm cup of water or milk helps sometimes too.
i have a hard time sleeping if i'm having a lot of stress. are you having a lot of stress lilwang?
what do you actually do when you meditate? My bf showed me this thing where you close your eyes and imagine a wave coming up on a beach as you breath in, and the water sliding back out as you exhale. It's pretty relaxing.
no, i try to go to bed at midnight but i don't feel tired at all...Quote:

each night i go to bed a little earlier.
Your whole life is about to change drastically. I'm not surprised you can't sleep.
yea... you know the only thing i am really worried about is showering. i don't want to walk around naked near other guys.Quote:

i will probalby be the nerd in swim trunks.
But won't that just draw attention to it? I think you should just find a way to deal with it.Quote:

I never lived in the dorms. How many guys are you going to be sharing with?
Oh, and btw, you MUST get some flip-flops. You don't want to be going around barefoot there. You'll get foot-cooties.
If it makes you feel any better lilwing, my RA (who lives RIGHT next to me) is about as gay as they come. The shower is on the other side of his door, so when I'm done I walk in front of his room half naked. But hey, at least I have some hot girls across the hall to even that out :D
And Giga is right, BRING FLIP-FLOPS! And also earplugs. Definitely earplugs.
i have flippers.Quote:

there is some kind of way around it. i think the floor is broken down into 4 sections, so probably 25 or something like that. there is a lot of kids that go here.
i should take a shower at 4 in the morning. haha, nobody will be in there then.
i am happy that the showers are not like concentration camp/holocaust type. there were a few colleges i visited that had those.
drink beer it worked last time i tryed it
That's true, 'wing. Enough beer, and you won't care about showering in front of others. In fact, you might even go to class naked.
i have never drank enough alcohol to not make me care.
well then there's another goal to shoot for.

i think it stress i have so much stress i can't sleep too
haha, i will probably die of alcohol poisoning. do you have any idea how much i have drank in 1 sitting?Quote:

i highly doubt that you'll die from alcohol poisoning. you're talking to an alcoholic who doesn't remember how he got home half of the time because he has drank too much alcohol in one sitting and is still here to talk about his incidents.

i know a person who had a near death experience with alcohol poisoningQuote:

ah, it's no wonder you can't sleep, then.
seriously though, get flip flops. Do you know what lives on the permanently damp floors of shower rooms? I got warts on my feet once and was told it was probably from going to the swimming pool, even thought they have a footbath there.
I'm telling you, wear the flip flops... or those rubber clog things. anything.
the other thing is.. and I learned this from experience-- invest in good food. There are frozen meals that are great, fast, and are ALSO free of preservatives and excessive sodium. That's soooo much better than microwaved ramen with no nutritional value whatsoever and probably full of MSG.
Well I think you said your stamina is really jacked so this might not work...But back when I was a big caffeine drinker I had a similar problem. What I did was I did some stairs. You basically run up and down a flight of stairs 10 or more times. Then go lie down. If 10 isn't enough add more. It takes a couple seconds or so to run up and down the flight of stairs. About a half hour or so after the stairs your body should be tired depending on your physical condition.
If your a runner or an athlete then it might not even fatigue you. But if your having a lot of difficulty and its causing problems its worth a shot. In my humble opinion.
yup, when you have too much alcohol in your body, your brain will forget to tell itself to breath. sounds funny, but true. hrmm... i wonder why i've never been to this stage before. usually i just pass out before i get to that level.

because.. your brain has a pacemaker?Quote:
