Hola fellow DFers...

Just wondering do any of y'all struggle with your sleeping...

Since i was a wee baby, i've been a problem sleeper & late night TV is boring me tonight so i just thought id come on and say hi!

Sleep tite peeps,



Vee

All the time IV! It drives me insane, I'm a very light sleeper too. I often find a mug of warm milk before bed helps, there's something in it which acts as a natural relaxant.

Ferkin Hell Vee have some Jameson's will ya

i had the same problem of not being able to sleep...i never slept before 3 AM till one day when i found this operations research book...it's a miracle of humanity for insomniacs...just 5 minutes in the book can make you sleep....and i m not joking i m serious

Hi Vee

I have trouble sleeping too!! Don't know why, but I rarely get to sleep before midnight, and I'm always awake at 5am!! Grrrr. Tried all sorts or remedies - including a cocktail of sleeping tablets - but nothing works!! Double Grrrrr!!

Sleep well!!

Another insomnatic... yeah thats me

i do go for a nice cruise with old classic rock music, then head home at 2 or 3 to sleep

Nothing beats a large drink to send me off to dream land...but then i always wake up for a pee 2 hours later....thank god for tv in my room is all i can say!!

i observe so many peolpe have sleep related problems here..

all artificial means of inducing sleep as adopted by some of us are not effective in the long run..

the mantra is.. at the end of the day your body should be tired and your mind content with the work you have done or value added...

if your normal day to day activities cannot tire you.. take to some sports or some kind of exercises which gives you some mental relaxation too..

if you cant sleep even then, you may pm me for free consultation on nature treatments..

Urgh, I was waking up every hour last night, it was seriously doing my head in. Feel knackered to day now because of it.

Did u read my mind last night or what V? I seem to have a time window to get to sleep. If I dont sleep while I am tired then my brain switches my body back on and won't let me go to sleep. Happened again last night and am completely lagging today.

hey ajoy! can u pm me ur natural treatments... would appreciate it

Snap...3 hours sleep and gotta work 1-9.30....yuck!

Chamomile tea and/or warm milk, and don't exercise three hours before bedtime. Reading a book is a good idea. Don't do anything too stimulating - like listen to really loud music or watch TV programmes that jump around a lot, e.g. Lots of graphics flashing on and off, and even the news is bad because it jumps from story to story with lots of graphics and ticker tape at the bottom of the screen. Another good idea is to do some gentle stretching because it is relaxing and helps those tense muscles you have accumulated in the day.

Yessssssssssssss sirrrrrrrrrr eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee some good gentle and more enthusiastic stretching in bed does work wondersssssssss. and is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Okay arniegang, didn't want to mention that one, but yes, that certainly works too.

too much information!!!
I'll stick to sleeping tablets!!

I just knew a dirty-minded Brit would be the first to jump in and state what everyone else was probably thinking but didn't want to type in... and the smart money was defo on arnie to lead the way !

Well, what you do in the privacy of your own home (or other peoples homes if thats what floats your boat) is up to you, and its certainly not going to help me get to sleep tonight!

Serial insomniac here!

I am typing this at the end of a 52 hour day...not out of choice just up to my nuts in work and deadlines! Get all the sleep I need when I'm dead and 2 hours a night is the norm anyway.

Off too beddy byes all you sleepy heads!

ooooohhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh who's throwing their dummy out of the pram then ?

Or you just pissed at having to "slap the salami" every night.

or try some "lighten-up" tonic, being stressed and as pissy as fuk as you seem to be, its no wonder you can't sleep

So is that why they aren't making me sleep?? Have I got the tablets mixed up?

The blue pill goes before the red pill
