[SimplyFlacid]

Have you tried fisting yourself before bed?

[Ratfish]

blackout curtains, white noise machines, soft ear plugs

switch all caffeine sources to green tea

srs

[Antoine99]

Either avoid screens for an hour before bed (impossible for some people), or download blue light blocking software like f.lux

srs I've used f.lux for a long time, and now if I disable it, the screen slowly goes back to "normal" after a few seconds and it's like looking at the sun

What do you think is causing your sleep problems? Anxiety?

What do you think is causing your sleep problems? Anxiety?

Lack of routine at the moment, when i have a job i have to wake up early i get more tired. Lack of exercise, lack of money, stress..All stuff combined

[vulgoo]

Do you take energy drinks op?

[ShortMonster]

Do you take energy drinks op?

Nope, just coffee, not past 2pm either, i have always had sleeping problems along as i can remember though tooo, big issue of mine

[Kormo]

Try listening to some ASMR. That chit puts me to sleep

[ShortMonster]

None of that stuff usually works for me, its either sleeping pills or drinking moderately that helps me sleep. Its almost 3am and still cant sleep

[Zoukero]

This is what I know:
-Caffeine effects stay with you for 2-3 days (serius). People assume "it is OK because I dont drink coffee after 12". Yes. You go to sleep but sleep is for 30mins- 2 hours and then you cant go to sleep for 5-6 hours. then you start feeling sleepy again. So your sleeping pattern is affected badly pay attention to that. You sleep for short periods of time only. Dont drink caffeine for 2-5 days then observe your sleep. Expresso machines make very strong coffee.
-Other foods affect your sleep too. Chilly, chocolate, some tea, some spices, red die in some soda drinks.
So dont eat pizza, indian food, spicy food, italian pasta before you go to bed.. I think you get the idea. Don't eat hot spicy food before you go to sleep.
Experiment with this and pay attention to your sleep after that.
A friend of mine had problems sleeping. That is how he fixed it.

[MajorTendonitis]

Take two calcium b4 bedtime. Also get blu blocker glasses for your computer tablet etc.
No coffee after 12pm

[xbluexhawkx]

you have to rest and relax before going to sleep

before night night lay in your bed and just relax for like an hour

- blackout curtains
- AC on low temp
- no lights
- cut out water at night
- no caffeine
- sound machine

[elterrible987]

sound machines are awesome, i have the fan one.


also sleep on my side a lot and got one of those small leg pillows that separates my knees, way more comfortable.


then also got nose plugs that open up your breathing a bit

Your body will get used to no booze and you start to actually sleep. It takes a few weeks to get going on it.

Your problem with sleeping and drinking is going in to a deep sleep too quickly and then coming out as you sober up when you should be in REM.

[1hardgainer]

Have you tried the supplement GABA? I have trouble sleeping too and it seems to work. I take 750 mgs. before bed. I'm worried that I'll build tolerance to it so I use it off and on.

[nattyandweak]

Physically exhaust yourself, long distance cardio, no caffeine unless its before 8am dont go to bed unless your tired, try to get sunlight during the day. Best of luck buyo

[MisquePhaggot]

Got to do proper cardio session after your lift got to spend up that energy

[8pieces]

Get hammered

[darkeminence]

Stop the sleeping pills and alcohol cold turkey, they don't help for sleep only make the issue worse.

I know you probably won't believe me, but I'm a lifelong insomniac and sleep training got me out of it. I now sleep a solid 7 a night.
People look for an easy way out with pills and booze, but if you have somewhat of a spine you should look up sleep training and sleep restriction. I won't lay out the details here, but if you wanna fix your sleep do that.

How's your nose breathing? do you feel that it's hard? air doesn't flow good?

[ShortMonster]

How's your nose breathing? do you feel that it's hard? air doesn't flow good?

Prety normal, even having asthma i dont have an issues breathing at all..As far as i know at least

[infinityplus1]

Step 1: go to bed when you feel tired
Step 2: close eyes
Step 3: wake up the next morning

Pretty fckn simple OP

[ShortMonster]

Not simple brah, my brain dloesnt want to shut off, its 5:40pm right now in NY and im still awake, i lay in bed, close my eyes im still up. Most people fall asleep in 10 min, normally, not me.

[StoneColdMarko7]

I advise banging a hooker. I always feel good and sleepy after a good whoremaxxing.

Ask for a lower dose?

I have a LOT of energy at night and I have always been that way.

I try to get a lot of exercise during the day to reduce energy.

I tend to like to take a shower at about 11PM, but this is a bad idea as I then feel great after the shower. That will keep me up at least until 1AM.

So, maybe avoid stimulating things like that.

I do not enjoy work too much and so I do a lot of hobbies at night. They make life more fun but can keep my mind going too fast, thus I trying to stop hobby activities by 9PM.

I have now been trying to read novels at bedtime as they make me tired.

I also use a psychology technique called "Thought stopping" which is like meditation. It's just where I count to 100 over and over. This sounds simple but really works well.

I will take a melatonin 20mg or 40mg around 9 or 10pm. That works to slow me down. If I take them later, then I wake up late. So, I take them early to avoid that, but they aren't strong enough to knock me out.

Finally, they say to avoid your bed unless it's to do to sleep. Don't lay there and struggle. This is to train yourself like a dog that bed is for sleep and nothing else.

May not help you fall asleep but I have found using a sleep mask has massively helped my sleep quality. The very first hint of sunlight in the morning and I'll be up so the mask helps me sleep my full amount.

[SwagMorris]

Had bad sleeping issues a few years ago. Routinely would operate on 2-3 hours of sleep.

Sleep tab every night (makes you feel like chit the next day), coffee, energy drinks, pre-workout to get through the next day. Repeat daily for a year.

My heart started having weird flutters from all of this

I bought a new mattress, and one weekend where I had zero responsibilities, I decided to wake up at 6am no matter what, have no caffeine and force myself to stay awake (no naps). Video games helped me stay awake.

This reset my sleep schedule.

Then I would only have caffeine first thing in the morning and everyday wake up no later than 6.

~7 years later and I rarely have sleep issues, usually in bed 9-10pm and wake up at 5-5:30am without an alarm. Everyday.

Still, no caffeine past noon unless it’s from a small soda or vacation and I want a coffee or something.
