Do you sleep on your stomach, side, back, take tylenol PM or get hammered before you go to bed? Reason I ask is because I sleep on the floor on my back, but cant sleep for longer than 6-7hours. I take some of my muscle relaxors before bed but cant get a full 8 hours. I was taking ambien but believe it or not it doesnt do a damn thing anymore. Tylenol PM was treating me good until I got an ulcer in my stomach so acetamenaphen and anti-inflammatories really do me know good here unless I wanna shit blood. Whats your before sleep ritual? ---

Not everyone needs 8 hours. The best sleep helper I’ve found was having a kid. They keep you running around enough that as soon as your head hits the pillow you’re out cold. 🙂 I’m pretty sure when she was 2 months old I could sleep on a gravel driveway in the snow. ---

I used to date a chick with a kid and that was horrible (for my sleeping)! The thing is, I have to sleep on my back for medicinal purposes. When I had my bikes or would bang through my notch it would only want to keep driving more. Its 10:34 AM and I’m pounding beers with my medication to fall back asleep, is that a problem??? ---

lol@ willy using J.O. well sex works well. or in will’s case a good right hand spank-athon heres things you SHOULD NOT DO before bed: 1. avoid sugary foods/greasy foods/ foods that are hot/ or anything that will cause your stomach to work harder(keep you awake) 2. dont smoke at least 1-2-3 hours b4 bed(that is, if you do) b/c the nicotine is active in your blood and keeps you up. 3. avoid watching TV/CPU in the dark, it will strain ur eyes, keep you awake 3.try not to think about tomorrow(insecurity will keep your brain active/unable to sleep) hope htis helps. ---
