Bairnardo Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Do ok tbh. I usually drink a cup of Clipper sleep easy tea before bed. Find it helps knock me over. Usually get about 8 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I used to be a terrible insomniac when I was a teenager. There's about four years that I barely remember due to spending it feeling like a zombie. If you need a solid night's sleep, I can wholeheartedly recommend reading my posts a set of quality earplugs. It's amazing how much ambient noise can affect the quality of your sleep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I generally sleep well but the last few nights have been a nightmare for no other reason than the missus decided it was time to put on the "winter duvet" which has turned the bed into a furnace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Not great, find it hard to sleep before about 1am, often 2am and usually back up about 7-7:30. I do find every few weeks or so I have a crash-and-burn and have one night where I zonk out about 9-10pm and have a good 8-9 hours sleep, but rarely do that more than one night in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I struggle to sleep when I have to be up for something early, like a train or a flight etc....to the verge of not sleeping at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I suffered from chronic insomnia on and off for years, especially when I was having personal problems. Doctors prescribed me 'Mirtazapine' a sort of combination of a sleeping pill and anti depressant, been on it about 5 years now and I'd estimate 90% of the time I get a pretty good sleep each night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Sleeping is brilliant. I almost always sleep on my side as I find it difficult to sleep on my back, unless I'm physically exhausted. I like to just let my mind drift and follow it in to slumber. Anyway, you need to ensure that the room is dark (obviously). It should be cool as well, bordering on cold. There should be no TVs or any other screens in the room. No alarm clocks with bright displays either. You want to totally minimise electric 'pollution' in the room. The only device I have in the room is my phone but that's because it's my alarm. It's turned face down and has the sound off, and goes without saying that internet is not enabled. Absolutely do not sit reading your phone in bed before trying to sleep. Mental behaviour that will affect the quality of your sleep, plus ruins the conditioning of that place being for sleep. Reading a book before bed can be good, but try to stick to a physical copy. Bed should be made before climbing in (you should do it in the mornings you lazy fucks!) and pillows plumped. I usually get a good 7/8 hours a night on weeknights and sometimes up to 9 or even 10 on a weekend if I'm not doing anything (usually). Have to be careful not to doze too much though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you tell me, I've been sitting watching this video on my phone to ease me off to sleep. I feel very stupid right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally after ejaculating men release hormones that can make them feel sleepy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Not nearly enough but even when I do get a solid 8/9 hours I feel even worse at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
