i know this doesnt really go here but i have an overactive mind sometimes (like now) and i just really wanna get to sleep fast but i cant because i have a million things on my mind. i've tried music, trying to meditate, writing talking.. none of it works.. anyone have any ideas. they would be greatly appreciated!!
Try chanting then if it's too hard to meditate. A half hour of chanting will put you to sleep. I promise.
yea im tired a lot but sometimes when i try to get to sleep i just wake up.. and i dont do pot or drink so that wont really help
Maybe you just dont need as much sleep as other people do. For years I struggled trying to go to sleep when everyone else did, but now i dont even try to sleep until im very tired. I read a while back that a study had been carried out and a soldier can survive on 4 hours sleep every night and keep on training hard like normal. Im not saying only sleep for 4 hours each night, but dont worry about it, your body will know how much sleep it needs. Take it easy, R.
i heard somewhere that you should try to stay away from the computer screen and the tv atleast an hour before bed. Like read a book or something. I heard it helped you sleep.....but who knows i could be wrong...
Hi, I have the same problem as you, especially when I take out my contact lenses just b4 I go to bed, my eyes strain so much!. With me, it seems that it is 50/50 whether I have a great nights sleep or if I don't really sleep at all!!. I also have lots of things on my mind when I am trying to doze off, these thoughts can be anything from girls that I like, Problems in my life that I am having, to random stupid thoughts!, and I can never seem 2 get them out of my head when I am trying to go 2 sleep. I don't really know what to suggest!, but a cup of tea usually helps me sleep for some reason!!, Take Care!!, Will.X
yea i always think way too much.. i mean i think about guys, actually getting to sleep, random stuff. it just doesnt help.. but i usually resort to the computer when i cant sleep so maybe i shouldnt do that..
I have a monkey mind, too. Look into vipassana meditation. I get super-sleepy when I practice it. (lol)
less internet and more sport.. gotta move physically - this helps in my case, tho there are times as i dont get sleep... bad..
as far as i go....i have a tolerance to all sleep aids out there...so the only thing that helps me is doing yoga and smoking the herb before i go to bed. Although I dont always have acces to the herb, but when it is there i utilize it.....it would be nice if we had medical marijuana in my state.
