FiliBFOS
Every... god... damned... day.
celestedrake
As someone with severe insomnia...this. I had it for 10 straight days, and sleeping pills did nothing.
Novirtue
To fall asleep try and stay awake, your brain is a dick and you'll fall asleep, only thing that works for me. Source 20 years of insomnia.
GothKirby
This describes my life. Especially the part about being unable to tell whether you slept or not.
petcgirl
@carboncello look it's me!
Bobfromboblandofbob
Spot on except you forgot the part where you decide to get up and do something and moment you get out of bed you are tired again.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
i hate this so much. WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM, BRAIN
Derfboy
This accurately describes my life.....lol.....aw, now I'm sad.
ExpatProblems
I fall asleep well enough but if I wake up around 3am or later I find it impossible to return to sleep.
Alyssandre
Omg, this was literally me last night.
BBRed
I have a system of falling asleep if anyone's interested?
Zrin
Step 6.5: Be about to fall asleep when your bladder comes calling.

You can not rest while enemies are nearby any gamer knows that's why you are unable to sleep
ElecTech
This is me, right this minute.
VeggieBaker
Not pictured: Giving up and browsing on your phone/computer until you feel tired again, then repeat from step 1.

TalionFlashstrike
There are 4 guaranteed approaches: 1) be exhausted beyond measure 2) be happy beyond measure 3) be drunk 4) get used to healthy schedule
strawberrycocoa
You gotta do a power-down ritual, not just go right from work to bed. Sit in a chair with a hot drink and a TV show, let your brain settle.
forestfinagle
Yep. I have an old lady bedtime ritual, but it works. Put your phone / tablet on night mode or grab a book.
BobLeuMoche
Easy: First roll a splif, smoke it, put somehjing about space or pollar bears on TV ====> sleep
VeskaiTsumonit
No drugs needed if its History Channel's The Universe.

This just amazes me, in my entire life I never had problems falling asleep. I just lie down and in what I assume is 2-5 minutes am asleep.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
as an insomniac: fuck you.

You lucky bastard
forestfinagle
In your bed or anywhere?
rintdl
Well, if I want to, I can fall asleep really easy on plane/train.
forestfinagle
Damn you're lucky
PunishMentor
Read a book until I nod off for the first time, turn off light and fall asleep instantly
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
you dont know shit about insomnia.
PunishMentor
Wow, never said I did... just relaying what has been a lifelong habit for me
DickDastardly404
I don't have problems with sleep but if I read in bed I'll be up all night
SwaggyStalin
It hurts how true this is
kikismallbusinesswitch
I'm in love with the "Healthy Sleep Formula" I do version 1, but version 2 is out.

Forgot the stage where as soon as you get comfortable you have to pee.
mirria
Or the part of your brain that goes "Did I lock the front door?" And I have to check or else I am tortured that the possibility I didn't.
SirScudio
pee in the bed, a lazy man's way of doing things y'know.
Tom40
Is that why your missus prefers the company of other men?
Stavixe
The everyday routine..
Mechlai
I just got laid off today

A book helps a lot.tbh Imgur is the only thing that has helped me fall asleep for a while now. It's not too good but better than nothing

For me it's 1...2...3...4...5..6..7..8.9... Any time now you can sleep brain.
Tonberryc
Don't you love it when people with no problem sleeping give you their list of helpful tips as if they're curing your insomnia?
DickDastardly404
Persistent insomnia is a medical issue, pointing out that you can't cure it with a warm glass of milk and quick shifty is sorta moot tbh bro
Tonberryc
So, I shouldn't complain when people give me redundant advice that doesn't help my medical condition. How does that make sense?
DickDastardly404
Well first of all no, you shouldn't complain at all if you don't want suggestions. and If you have a genuine medical condition, see a doctor
Tonberryc
Why did you create an imaginary conversation in your mind where I was complaining about my insomnia and don't see a doctor?
Tonberryc
If someone walks up to you and says "you look tired", and you say "insomnia." That's not asking for help or ignoring medical advice.
Farmacopeia
Supposedly, if you don't go to sleep/feel tired in the first 20-30 min, you should get up and go out of the bedroom and do something (1/
Farmacopeia
Like read or another non-electronic distraction until you're tired. Fits in with the overall idea of sleep hygiene. Don't do anything in (2/

You think of and need to remember. Then there's the non-medical advice of my dad: pretend you're asleep and then you will (4/4)

The thing is, I'm still a student and basically sleep in my living room so.. But thanks for the tips! Is music ok?

Do more sports. It increases your somatropin levels and helps you sleep.
jonathantoast
Can i just get a somatropin injection or something?
IOnlyUpvoteKittehs
You mean work? Exercise? Pfffft, get outta here.
ThisIsWhyIimgur
3 hours heavy weight lifting and severe insomnia that same day...
cokeforwork
Did you take any supplements after your workout? And at a late hour ?
ThisIsWhyIimgur
Whey,bcaa, and creatine. Workout 1-4pm. Sleep at 1am
TheCoinFlip
Ya I can't sleep regardless of what exercise I did that day.
flowseeker
Isnt somatotropin a steroid?
Krocine
Your body makes steroids and they're important in everyday functions. You might be thinking of an anabolic-androgenic steroid
flowseeker
But somatotropin is actually a man made drug. It's synthetic human growth hormone.
halfalbino
Naturally made, "a growth hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland"
halfalbino
Also used as a prescription under a variety of brand names, like Genotropin.
jonathantoast
Can i just get a somatropin injection or something?
KckUNjUbR6GMwpnD
Yes, but it's quite expensive and in most countries you need a subscription.
hereforcake
Sometimes I think exercise increases my chances of restless leg syndrome though. Exercise and sugar.
InsanityCrab
Tried vitamin D supplements in a morning, supposed to help with insomnia but just made my leg go ape shit every time I started to drift off!
MyLuggageAteMyHomework
Doesn't help in the now though. I can change long term, but i gotta sleep *tonight*
KckUNjUbR6GMwpnD
It works pretty fast actually. You will notice significant results within two weeks.
MyLuggageAteMyHomework
No, but like *tonight* is not in two weeks.
MyLuggageAteMyHomework
I also can't decide to take up exercising living on the second floor at 2 am.
MrMarsh
Also skip staring at your phone in bed... Read a book instead.
Listenhereyouwookieesonofabitch
Or at the very least download a blue light filter like F.lux or twilight for Android.
WhileYouWereReadingThisLongNameIstoleYourCookies
But why are the most interesting things on the Internet at night? Like I want to sleep but I wanna look at that mini van review
RyleKussell
Charging my phone in the kitchen at night has done wonders. You can only read a book for so long before falling asleep.

Is mayonnaise a sport?
IllLetMyselfOut
See how many mayonnaises you can make in an hour. Then, in the next hour, see if you can break your record. Yes. It's a sport.
tentaclefriendly
Depends on how you use it.
LachrymoseEngineer
KckUNjUbR6GMwpnD
No, mayonaise is a food.
CatsIsTheAnswer
Making mayonaise by hand requires some physical activity tho. Start with that
LachrymoseEngineer
Damn. What about pizza? I heard that it's a vegetable, is it also a sport?
