encey Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 im sure its the fact that im trying to sell my condo before our baby comes. plus just the stress of a baby countdown until my life is totally altered forever. its a lot to take in. our condo is a great size for 2 people and we would be able to manage with an infant but not for more than a year. plus to try and sell our condo with it packed to the gills with baby toys, clothes and empty bottles of red wine, jim beam and a few broken dreams wont be the most ideal. Whoa dude! That will be me, I hope, in a year. Watch a lot of "House Hunters"! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Pretend you are Napoleon , write a speech on how the future of humanity depends on The French campaign of 1798 , you will fall asleep after the part where you mention King George's failure to control his colonies.

Whoa dude! That will be me, I hope, in a year. Watch a lot of "House Hunters"! lol godspeed man! and yea that friggin hgtv is on constantly when the wife isnt watching wedding or babby stories and shit counting. trying to relax, etc. if nothing works i just give up and get up. counting does seem to work sometimes except there are times i forget what number im on and start worrying about other crap. lol. Reading usually does the trick for me. i have tried that but it usually ends up being watmm and it becomes counter-productive side note: amazing cover for that hadron comp dude. love it!

wahrk Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I try to make up stories. It gets me drifting off into fantasy world where my dreams take place. I wouldn't say it's super effective though. I was up all night last night. Fucking 7 hours of rolling from side to back to side to back, rinse, repeat, piss, and not a fucking ounce of sleep. i wake up once or twice a night to piss. i find it helps to go back to sleep on the same side as when you woke up I find it uncomfortable to return to the same side after getting up.

jules Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 I try to make up stories. It gets me drifting off into fantasy world where my dreams take place. its funny you say this, it does work for me occasionally. i try to let my mind make up any story without thinking, it gets very bizarre and i either drift off or question my sanity.

747Music Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 chamomile tea and minimal ambient music. This works well. Especially with Biosphere. I listen to Shenzhou or Substrata and it usually does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I second SOTL or Biosphere Or I just listen to the wind or whatnot or any noise outside. I dunno if that is calming for you or not... Or meditation, or just viewing your thoughts as just phenomena (no different than the wind, doesn't need to be stopped, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impakt Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I close my eyes and switch to the cold side of the pillow, gone in 5 seconds. I like the idea of creeping up on you with a pre-chilled pillow and using it like a "sleep weapon"--hold it to your face for 5 seconds and you collapse. Each time you came to, I would apply another cold pillow to your cheek. You could be kept asleep for years. LOL, so evil :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
