conquer my insomnia

I have trouble sleeping mostly because I’m stressed out a lot of the time. I’m going to try switching my focus at bed time so that I don’t think about things that will cause me to be up later worrying

I’ve been sleeping really well for about two weeks now. I’ve been busy and happy. I think that helps. If I can keep it up for the rest of the months, I’ll call my insomnia conquered.

Last night, I didn’t sleep at all. I finally dozed off around 8:00 this morning. Needless to say, that messed up my other goal of getting up before 10am. Sigh.

I’ve lived with insomnia practically all of my life. It was annoying at first but once you embrace it , and I guess conquer it, you can discover some interesting things about yourself.

don’t think anything for a while perhaps 20 min. sit in ur comfortable sleep position w/ ur hand on ur stomach in a place so such that u have the effect that when u inhale, u could feel ur stomach muscles tense up and stomach feel hard as u can. once u inhale and feel that ur stomach muscles are pretty hard, then that’s the time u know to exhale and keep doing this until u have the of effect of tensing ur muscles (just in a consistent way)

I’m actually sleeping!!!!

Insomnia haunts me
sleep taunts me

too far away to reach

I wander, exhausted, wasted
I wonder, what caused it, raised it

What is it trying to teach

It wants to get hold of truth
It can’t live an ignorant youth

And it’s reflections are getting too real

The trust to reality the way it is brought
is torn apart by vitality in thought
exposing the fatality of the mental drought
that reduces humanity to a senseless mass whose minds are bought!

But history still turns it’s wheel

It doesn’t care about my call
It doesn’t care about anyone at all

Because it has been.

To see it requires sadness, unsanity
To be it requires preprogrammed vanity

Unfortanely, I have seen.

You cannot stop looking with an open eye

Please show me again how to lie!

I have been an insomniac since i was 12 (almost 27 now) and i am tired of it. i will listen to any advice on how to reach this goal
