How do you fall asleep?

[PINDER KORDA SINGH]

On a serious note, you have what I would consider a blessing.

Last year, I attempted, what the online community calls, the "Uberman sleep cycle" (essentially polyphasic sleep). I would take 6 20 minute naps spread out in the course of the day/night. With only 2 hours of sleep a day, I was able to stay productive yet keep up with all the activities I did. I maintained the cycle for a period of 1.5 months until getting drunk twice in a row raped me and I fell asleep for more than an hour. Game over. Definitely not for the weak of heart or the ill-disciplined - but not being able to sleep could help you do this, if you wanted to. I like looking at the bright side of everything. LOL

(And yes, the sleep cycle comes with its share of side effects, unbelievably realistic dreams and awkward stories)

holly shit thats so foul. im like the total oppoiste. once i close my eyes i TKO like literally. if no1 comes to my room my whole family is confident that i can sleeep easily for 24 hours. i do like 16-18 every saturday.

haahahahhaha damnnnnnnn

@dholi_08 ya i tried paath, i concentrate too much lol.... i dunno if u read it but i mentioned that even asar di vaar wont make me fall asleep.



The only thing that ever worked for me is crying...i know it sounds gay, but after a stupid romantic movie or drama and i cry... ooh man...it works like hell...the problem is that if i put another one on...ill saty up for anoda hour!!!!!


Im still amazed by kinnell, dude.... that is insane

Just get your body to wind down. Relax, do something that is very low maintenance and not time consuming or physically exerting, and do it in bed. Dont think about sleeping. It should come to you easier.

i've been awake for 24 hrs...test in 7 hrs!

i hate midterms.

i love venti sized coffees and double-shots of espresso and cream.

my hands are shaking.

start making a journal.
Write in it every night while you are trying to fall asleep writing out the thoughts that are going through your head at that time, or things that have been bugging you that day..etc. See how that helps.

ya

honestly i had the same problem and i asked my doctor and hes like there could be many reasons like too much light in your bedroom, bad air quality (no im not joking), or even your matress/pillow (too hard or too comfy etc etc). if its really serious then it could be a sleeping disorder (you would have to go for a sleep-apnia test (dont know if thats spelled right) ... what i did was i flipped the side of my matress, tried a new pillow and used a blind-flind for when i slept (theres a huge ass street lamp outside my window and its bright as hell). this helped me with my problem. try it out and see whats good

ya, i do have a sleeping disorder. I have insomnia and restless leg syndrome. I basically wake up after each of my REM periods... medication only works for a certain amount of time. so unfortunately i have to live with this...

on the other hand, im always hopeful for a miracle hahaha

sleep apnia's usually happens to fat ppl who's neck fat messes with their trachea...and try to decrease stimulants like light and dont increase your blood pressure by exercising. get a sleep study done on you
