[quote=“NYSFF,post:15,topic:27517"”] I take Insomnia med’s but I HATE them cause ya wake up still tired as fuck. But Weed “I hear” always does the trick. Or someone else said Warm milk works to [/quote] Honestly, the best night’s sleep I get is after “partying” up north. After being awake for 20-40 hours straight, I crash out for 10-14 hours roughly and wake up as rested as baby. Drinking makes me feel like shit. Medicines such as Nyquil make me jiddery and I dont sleep well. ---

It does. It’s also a habit forming controlled substance, so be cautious. Do you work out? Whup your own ass at the gym. It’ll burn stress and tire you out. ---

[quote=“j\_espo1,post:18,topic:27517"”] benadryl [/quote] For short term use, this might be the best. It will make you drowsy and put you to sleep pretty quick. Like everyone else said, don’t use it for continuous use though. ---

Alcohol will only inhibit any recoperative sleep you want to get, so find a different route. But yes, if you don’t fall asleep in 20-30 min of being in bed, get up and find something to do. I usually go watch the History Channel. Other than that, try to wear yourself out as much as possible during they day/at night, maybe your body isn’t as exhausted as you think it is. ---

By far the BEST cure of insomnia - exercise. Go jog for 2 miles. Seriously. Not only is is healthy and a natural “feel good” thing to do, it puts your body in rest and replenish mode when it comes time to hit the hay. Edit: sorry I had the answer before I read though everything. You think you might have some stress goin on? There’s a bunch of things I can think of that will help, as it was a problem for my sister growing up and she’s been to the doctors for it. Eat breakfast, exercise (you said you’re already doing so) cut out on late night sugar, eat healthy, finish work early so you’re not up late thinking about it, and one of the things suggested to my sister was to not watch tv/go on the computer before bed, it get’s the wheels turning and may kick your body in to overtime. ---
