Hmm, when i was younger the tv thing worked. I’d put on an old Godzilla vhs ,pop that beast in and i’d be out in minutes- but lately, i cant have the tv on at all or i focus on that and i’ll be up all night- i havent tried the wine but alcohol def helps but you dont want to be dependant on any booze just to sleep ---

1):pimp: 2)Food. 3)Wake up at 6 am fully clothed with all the lights on, and crumbs littering your area. 🖕 I do not recommend this, but in terms of sleep… it certainly works. ---

Melatonin. Not a sleeping pill per se, but a supplement of the chemical in your brain that makes you tired. There’s about a half hour period before it kicks in so I usually take a hot shower right after I take it, then by the time I’m done with all the related stuff i’m about ready to nod off. ---

be more active. a solid gym routine and a beer or two before bed will have you passing out within seconds of your head hitting the pillow. ---

^^x2 Your daily activities play a big roll in how you rest at night. And as a serious suggestion, I don’t know what you do for work but… smoking weed really would get you some good sleep. But that’s more of an extreme solution depending on your lifestyle. I slept like a baby in the good ol’ days. ---

If it’s a chronic problem you’ve got to get your shit straight: -Stop drinking caffein -Stop drinking alcohol -Hit the gym hard, cardio/HIIT a few hours before bed really helps -Get into a wind-down routine so that you’re moving into sleep mode those last couple of hours of the day -Read or watch TV right before shutting your eyes so that you’re not trying to sleep while your brain is chewing on something -And of course, beat your dick like it owes you money ---

I’m on a 5-7 hour non consecutive schedule. At least one of the kids will start screaming, usually around 3-4am. I am finding it harder to get to sleep drinking coffee and 3 or 4 beers at nite now though. Must take at least 20 minutes.
