Stop trying to sleep. :biggrin: Really. Try making yourself stay awake for something and you'll be dozing off before you know it...always works that way for me anyway.

What's wrong, sweetie? Too much caffeine? Stress? I used to have this great book on relaxation techniques you could do at bedtime. I will try to find it for you. There was a great exercise on tensing and relaxing muscles -starting at your toes and working all the way to your forehead - and it works like a charm for me. It takes a long time to do because you go muscle group by muscle group and you have to tense each group for 10 seconds at a time but it really helps!
 
Write E=mc2 on your forehead in Sharpie every 20 minutes you are awake.
 
Just average 6 hours of sleep a day like me and you will have no problem sleeping at night. I promise. (Two days ago I came home from school and took a 'nap,' when I woke up it was 10:30 P.M. whoops.)
 
shhh... she's asleep now![/size]:zzz:
(Darn! we always have to speak loudly since size=1 doesn't work anymore.)

Ah, yeah! I can't sleep when I'm too tired and I just don't feel tired after an hour or more! Sounds like the problem is, being too tired.
 
i'm going to make an 11th attempt to fall asleep. wish me luck!
 
If you can t sleep, then don t. watch some tv, movie, porn, magazine, chat online, do some homework...blah blah blah.
 
so, did it work?
 
yep! i tossed and turned for about an hour, but finally nodded off. i accidently woke up at around 8am, but went back to bed and slept for a good 10 hours. only bad thing is that its a gorgeous day and I've missed most of it! awell, i'll go play some frisbee and it'll all be good.

Nothing is so sublimely beautiful as your love sleeping. It is the single source of all other joy and comfort in the world.

Of course she does! She might have trouble sleeping, but I can never sleep. When I get weary from my many studies and discoveries I can't sleep it off. I must press on and on without respite. Oh dear god, how I wish I could sleep!
 
When I really need to sleep, I just meditate (laying down). If you don't want to do that (or can't, I guess), exercise.

Indeed, the peaceful serenity of a sleeping partner beats the grating wail of a whiney hag any day.

So you sleep from 5 am to 2pm and then wonder why you can't fall asleep at 11 pm?
