I can't get to sleep

anuraj · 22 Aug 2011 at 00:32

Usually it takes me around 1-2 hours to find sleep. Does anyone know any ways that will help me get sleep better except from intoxicating myself with alcohol.

Drink less caffeine. Leave a larger gap between eating and sleeping. Get more exercise.

Fresh air

I don't know if this is normal, but when I was younger, it used to take me at least 2 hours to fall asleep. Over time, I've just learned how to fall asleep quickly and can now fall asleep within 2 or 3 minutes.

I just close my eyes, stop consciously thinking about any one subject and just let my mind wander as it will.

Go to bed 1 - 2 hours later.

Go to bed now or you're grounded.

How does that work for you?

Warm milk often helps (more info here).

Check the closet and under the bed.

Still, it's good advice :cool:

Hope theres not a small hole in your skirting board? this troll likes to suck out the breath of young kids while they sleep.

@ anuraj

Go read some boring book or article and you'll be asleep in no time.

Using the computer keeps your brain pretty active and the bright screen doesn't help. Reading an easy book is much more relaxing and you'll eventually start to nod off.

Problem. I live in a house with no books. I have to sleep with my cousin usually (I swear if anyone says a word I report them for sexual speech) so it will annoy him if I turn the lights on. He also has to go work at 4:00 in the morning.

It's true, I'm 13 and I have the exact same problem as you anyraj but reading makes me nod off within minutes!

Some people develop early. Anthea Turner was keeping me up at night when I was 10

Sensible advice.

OP, go to bed. That might help you get to sleep. I know it's crazy but it just might work

Are you serious? If I do it, then I find that it prevents me from sleeping for 1-2 hours. (serious)
