What do you when you can't sleep?

i really need advice on this

 

Read
Meditate
Drink a cup of tea
Listen to music

 

-drink milk
-close my eyes, flex and release each muscle until i am totally relaxed
-read something boring
-take an antihistamine which makes you drowsy

 

Make sure if you drink tea, that it is decaffeinated

 

Stay up and watch TV. Get high (that helps).
Valerian is supposed to help.
Ignatia.
Kava.
Chamomile tea.
Melatonin.
5htp.
Skullcap.
Hops.
You can buy all of these as herbal supplements in health food stores.

Pot so far is the one that helps the most for me to fall asleep.

 

Is it a recurrent thing? What time is it in Macedonia?

If it's reccurent, I'd say get up earlier, get more exercise in the day, avoid eating too late.

Anything you're stressed about? that could effect your sleep a lot. Avoid caffeine after noon. If it's really serious you might want to see a doctor.

 

write down the things that are on my mind

 

i already had a Helex but it didn't help and tried reading something borring and it didn't help too, now i'm listening to Ayo and it's helpful

 

it's not a recurrent thing, i guess it's because i feel bad (go to thread "i'm fallin itno depression" and read the last few posts, you'll get the picutre)

and it's 6:40 am here

 

Dont worry. Its sunday. You have all day to catch up, and you will!

 

when i cant sleep i smoke some weed.

 

It trick myself. I take a bath, get into my pjs, brush my teeth, wash my face, make my bed all up, drink a glass of water, turn off the lights and hop into bed. I read for a few minutes until I'm tired and go to bed.

It helps to get ready for bed. Makes it easier to actually fall asleep if I do that.

Sometimes, when I'm lying in bed and I can't sleep - I will get out of bed, walk into the bathroom and brush my teeth again. It always helps me to sleep.

 

sleeping pills or vodka, although I admit neither of those is exactly healthy, but they allow you sleep no matter whats on your mind. When depressed myself, I've found that the only time I cannot distract myself from whats bothering me is the moment I lay in bed to sleep.
Unless vodka or pills are involved.
I hope you get some sleep soon.

 

when i cant sleep i daydream, sumtimes get high, or listen to my tunes..

 

I have issues with this myself. I slept three hours last night and I spent all day today being super active and walking and doing things, I did have coffee but it was still very early (I just usually never have coffee). I came home, feeling super tired, smoked a roach, finally got to eat something and I was happy because I was feeling sleepy.
I slept for 2 1/2 hours and now Im wide awake and it looks like another one of those 5am marathons.
I read, I meditate, I stare at the ceiling, I start walking around. NOTHING works
