sleep like other people sleep

I take supplements, but don’t want to rely on them. They upset my stomach and make me even more sleepy! I have tried exercise, not eating as much or certain things, etc.

I never could fall asleep within a few minutes, even though I’m exhausted. HOW do you turn off those thoughts that plague you in the night?

8 hours per night for the last 2 days!

There are not enough hours in the day !

After doing some thinking I realized I don’t want to “sleep like other people sleep”. I mean, where’s the fun in that?!

I forgot to mention. I also didn’t take naps or drink any caffeine drinks too soon before bed. Another thing I did was have my Dad wake me up early.

What I did is that whenever I got into my bed I wouldn’t talk or open my eyes. I’d just lay there and meditate. I ussually fell asleep pretty fast.

While I’m not entirely back to normal, it’s much better than two years ago when I’d often go to sleep anywhere between one and three, and get less than 6 hours of sleep.

I’ve learned how to pass out within minutes of getting into bed, and I hardly ever wake up before my alarm clock.

The days of tossing and turning for hours are gone.
And I feel much better for it, though I now find 7 or 8 hours arent enough.

My fiance will listen to me chatter till his eyes get blood shot and he is out cold, it’s sweet. But me, nothing I never feel that tired or tired ever. I spend every day working to make myself tired, no coffee, caffine. I will sleep with the help of sleeping pills but I just want to feel so tired like when you were a kid and would fall asleep almost anywhere out of sheer exhaustion. That would be bliss, I guess it is the one thing I truly long for, to just fall happily asleep and sleep soundly, peacefully for one night.
