You mustn’t have been doing it rightTried a wank at 3am this morning, didnt work
I find it helps me - I also tried white noise and didn't get anywhere with but I find brown noise actually does something. If there is something like that in the background, it seems to stop my mind from racing.Is it really good? I've tried white noise in the past and that helped a bit but no more
Sometimes there’s nothing you are doing wrong it just happens and you just need to try stuffI work from home, but its quite a brain engaging role if that makes sense?
And i make sure i go for a fast walk twice a day, do about 8500 steps.
Always eat dinner around 5, 5.30, always eat relatively healthy also
That’s why you’re a psychopathI hardly sleep to be honest - I go to bed about 1 am and stay awake until probably 3 - I doubt I’ve had more than 3 hours uninterrupted for years - I’m just used to it
Yeh it definitely works. It’s not some quack or pseudo science it actually has muscle relaxant properties but can take it every night no bother. I had a TMJ specialist recommend it specifically because it can relax the jaw musclesDoes Magnesium powder help? I was looking at those Melatonin patches.
Mine is the same. Do you get sleep envy? I know I do. Lying awake thinking look at that bitch, sleeping like she doesn’t have a care in the world. She really annoys me too when she says I should get up earlier so everything isn’t such a rush in the morning, she doesn’t seem to get it that even if I get up at the last possible minute she’s still had 2-3 hours more sleep than me even though she’s been up for an hour before me. Just selfish some people.Same, my Mrs could sleep on a fucking washing line!
I wish i could have 5 hours, im having none at the moment
Have you ever looked into trying to change that?I hardly sleep to be honest - I go to bed about 1 am and stay awake until probably 3 - I doubt I’ve had more than 3 hours uninterrupted for years - I’m just used to it
Have you ever looked into trying to change that?
I used to just accept it but I’ve read this book and a good consistent amount of sleep is probably the single best thing you can do for yourself. Kinda wild what your body actually does when it sleeps

Do you have much caffeine later in the day?I work from home, but its quite a brain engaging role if that makes sense?

Have you ever spoken to a professional about insomnia/anxiety? And I don't mean getting sleeping tablets off the doctor.

How will that help people know if he’s being serious or not?Tried having a wank?
When I did regular night shifts my sleep pattern was all over the place . I tried a breathing technique to help me get to sleep
you take a deep breath in for a count of seven and hold it for a count of seven then breath put as fast as you can , then do it for a count of 6,5 4,3,2,1. Worked well haven’t done regular nights for about 3 years and don’t really miss them
I listen to a podcast on a sleep timer to help me get to sleep now
Yeah, good shout. Breathing/meditation to try to relax the mind. I used this when I was going through a particularly stressful period of my life. Not so much to help sleep but to clear and rest my mind. Helped before bed though. It’s a 30 min one but also 20 min available
Body Scan
If you think of your body as a musical instrument, the body scan is a way of tuning it, a way to open all the windows and let the fresh air in.palousemindfulness.com
Might be worth a crack saddlebrains. Also seen CBD mentioned which worked sometimes for me (caveat I’m not a doc though !) Good luck.
The tyranny of a six month old is trashing my sleep. He's only doing about three to four hours a night atm (and he seems quite happy with that!!!) but, he only goes down for an hour a go sometimes. As it can take me that long to fall back asleep regardless of tiredness, I'm in severe torment!
I have a swig of night nurse. Knocks me out for hours.c**t isnt it?
No reason for it came on suddenly lastt Sunday eve, couldnt drift off.
Got 5 or 6 hours a night rest of last week, then fuck all on Friday night. Slept for 11 hours Saturday night, but again last night fuck all
Anyone ever suffered? Any remedies or tricks to help? Im an emotional mess, cried at my daughter going to school this morning ffs
Don't do the driving!I have sleep apnea so never have a solid night's sleep, problem is I almost always fall asleep when the football is on at night for about half an hour, then can't sleep later. Weight and diet doesn't help though tbh so making a concerted effort when I come back from hols that I'm going on next week.
Small aside but my Dad had bad sleep apnea. After years of trying to get him to see somebody, a specialist sorted him out after a short while.I have sleep apnea so never have a solid night's sleep, problem is I almost always fall asleep when the football is on at night for about half an hour, then can't sleep later.

Thx, I have been to a specialist who did some tests then gave me this machine that sounds like Darth Vader. I know it will help as pumping oxygen in, but I get all worked up with it on and frustrated just can't get on with it at all even though I know it will help me.Small aside but my Dad had bad sleep apnea.

So if you haven't seen your doctor, do so!
