What Helps Put You To Sleep?

Milk, cheese, outmeal.
The rationale is that such foods are rich sources of the essential amino acid tryptophan which the body converts into the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is considered to be responsible for the feeling of 'well-being', so having a fair bit of it around may encourage a nice, peaceful and natural drift into sleep.

Beer... usually though I'll watch anime or play games until I start getting tired, then if I'm having a little trouble I'll drink a beer, maybe 2, and then I'm out pretty quick. I get tired naturally pretty easy, although I have a sleep pattern that most people, probably not here, find abnormal... go to sleep at 2 or 3 am, up by 9 or 10 am... I used to work late nights, now I can't get back into my old pattern of getting up by 7am or so.

Reading also helps me... but doing things like coding, graphics work, or sex wakes me right up... after sex I'm the most motivated person in the world... motivated to get out of bed and go do something else. She can come along too, I guess... but I'm not going to lay around in bed pillow talking it up unless it's first thing in the morning and I'm zombified and am stuck there.

See how what is? <_<

20mg melatonin
2 sominex

Um nothing...

Reading, especially Plato or Milton

I do .xml files works pretty well lately <.<

I thought you were always on that. *.*

A nice back massage (~.~) Mmm

lol OH ***THis is Real!!!!!! Lmao

Lol. Stupid apps.

But I see you were just using me to get to sleep!

Whatever!!!! MR Naughty Pants!!

I'm pretty sure he's naughty everywhere.~

I listen to metal. It calms me, I don't know why or how, but it does.

9 mg melatonin, 10 mg zolpidem. In addition to the normal stuff.

LoL yea!

Exhaustion. I like to stay up until my eyes can't stay open. There's nothing better than that passed out kinda sleep. But it helps to have my room freezing and have it completely devoid of light.

Phantasy Star Zero on the DS in bed.

There's something about that game that knocks me out.

... *** double teamed. And not in the way I want :(

Well stop whoring around!! LoL

Make me!

That's sorta like me and the woman.. fan running, window opened a tad, let the fresh crisp winter-like air in the room.


then one of us has to close it when it gets too too cold..

LOL

I can't make you, your not my dude!

You could if you make me your dude. Naw what am I thinking you can't control me!

but but but....

I sleep to a few select songs from the Silent Hill OSTs for the most part. Sometimes it'll be stuff by Yuki Kajiura, Shoji Meguro and/or Yasunori Mitsuda.

On very rare occasions, I'll listen to Isabella Valentines tamer stuff. If anything she produces can be considered tame, that is.

I generally lay down for a solid 1 hour before I fall asleep. The odd days take up to 3 or 4 hours. What has been working for me lately is to rehearse a conversation with someone that aggravated me recently. It's all just talk in my mind, so... I'm not sure if I'd call it taking to myself. May just be me...

You could also go watch the Fox News channel drone on about faux news... hehe...pun...I fell asleep in a ball on my uncomfortable chair. However, that was right after work.

I'm sure someone said it, but watching really lame movies puts my father to sleep. After watching Avatar a hundred times, he's out before the 3rd chapter... Chronicles of Riddick; really, any Vin Diesel movie.

I don't know what the situation you're trying to sleep in...is... but, light effects some hormone center thingy in your brain-case. The thingy releases the neurochemical that makes you feel awake. So, if you're trying to sleep early in the day, get some dark curtains and limit exposure to bright light. Vice-versa, if you're drowsy, and don't want to be, step outside and stare at the sun.

Anyways, good luck, sweet dreams, yada yada..

Benadryl + bad movie...
