Insomnia.

[Neoni]

Not sure if ive started suffering from this i dont want it to turn into a medical thread, but not matter what time i go to sleep or get into bed, i physically cannot fall asleep.

I use to be able to until up about 1 1/2 months ago, before i suffered from glandular fever, how does everybody else seem to get to sleep? just lay there?

do you have any tips for me to try and get sleep at normal hours like everyone else?

yep milk has a substance that helps sleeping, i use to do that too around 30min before going to bed i'd do a hot milk with a bit of honey(yummy ) then read my book for a few mins then usually sleep well. I must say tho that it doesn't always work.

I have problems to sleep sometimes as well i searched a little bit the net to see "tips", the most important thing i would say is not to be too hard on it, if you always keep thinking, "ergh i cant sleep" you actually wont sleep

I also read that creating some sort of "ritual" before going to bed helps a lot. Like for me drinking a hot milk, then reading a little bit in bed, so your body knows "Ahh it's soon time to sleep!" Also going to sleep at the same time everyday helps apparently!

I hope this helps, dont get too worried about it tho because it gets worse then, just try to be really relaxed when going to bed and not nervous about it because you gamed 10min before or watched a violent movie! Don't know if i'm really clear but i tried

Cheers thats helped out a lot, im sat here feeling like crap having one hours sleep last night and ive got to go out in a minute aswell, oh joy.

I used to leave the tv on low in the background.

its a big 37" and so bright i could possibly turn the backlight down but id start flicking through channels.

Get up earlier in the morning, if you can clock on earlier at work youll be quids in, if not do some housework... then when you get in at night and its time to turn in you should be physically more drained than just sitting around for an extra hour on a night time to stretch the night out.
I take it when you had glandular fever you were layed up for a few days?

Yeh still am pretty much just about got the back end of it now, i dont work, unis come to a standstill at the moment, bit crappy tbh.

I only smoke weed when I need to
And I need to get some rest
I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress
Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty
And on the count of three I pull back the duvet
Make my way to the refrigerator
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam
When the light above my head went bam!
I can't sleep, something's all over me
Greasy, insomnia please release me
And let me dream about making mad love on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no relief
I'm wide awake in my kitchen
It's dark and I'm lonely
Oh, if I could only get some sleep
Creeky noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
I can't get no sleep....

Boring.

A disgustingly hot bath is good, relaxes you so much I get light headed when i get out.

we dont have baths matey, just walk in showers, posh 'rents thats what it is.
