Insomnia is aterrible thing. I spent most of last night lying in bed unable to sleep. In fact I didn't even feel tired. I feel like s**T now though.
Does anybody have a cure or ideas on how to eleviate this problem?
Audio books worked for me.
You have to keep playing the same one, over and over, until you are no longer interested in the story, but it becomes a soothing voice in the background.
The light-hearted ones worked best, such as the BBC's Dad's Army, Hancock's Half Hour etc.
Awwww poor keeno :therethere:
I feel for you mate...
Have you tried reading all the old 'look at my cock' posts in the forum archives? :thumbup:!
I'm not sure, can you let me sleep on it?
Something that works for me is to put my bedside radio on. It's tuned to radio 4 so in the early hours it picks up the world service. There is something strangely soothing about these small voices in the dark night.
Something else that has helped me is to imagine walking out of my back door and up the lane I'm usually out of it before I've gone very far.
I guess really a lot depends on what it is that's keeping us awake. Rehearsing problems over and over never helps. These days when that happens I mentally tell them to go away till morning. Silly as that seems it often works.
Sometimes the insomnia is a symptom of something else.
Sleep depravation is the pits :sad:
I do reiki (is 'do' the right word? I never know!) so when I can't sleep I generally give myself a self treatment. It relaxes me so much that I usually fall asleep midway through.
