Funny you should ask - Not border-line, but habitual...

It is 2:25am in California and I just got up because I have been lying there for 2 hours and couldn't sleep. Did see a good movie though on the Independent Film Channel (IFC) but that would never stop me from sleep if I could've.

So just inhaled a double dark chocolate Zone bar and now will inhale a cigarette. It really helps to stop trying to fall asleep if you can't and get up. (change the subject) I should be asleep in an hour.

Nothing much happening here so I will go back to TV.

Hope you get some sleep eventually!

Thanks

:p No Comments. :p

When I can't sleep I just drink hot tea, smoke a cigarette, watch Discovery Channel... something lazy.

Otherwise I just grab my board and go surfing. Well, sleep at car and then surf.

Flipping through tv channels looking at all the drivel that's on today does a great job of making me drowsy.

Also, kicking back in my recliner with my current book. At 2 in the morning it's nice and quiet and after about 30 minutes, I am as drowsy as I can be.

On the dark frontiers ringing the fortress of our consciousness roam restless demons who, not of their own bidding, sling arrows at the walls erected to protect us from our tortured introspection. Within these walls time and again we turn, terrified yet oddly compelled, to the vision offered up by the spherical mirror of time. Somewhere in between, encountering the specter of ourselves mired in mortal combat with our own doppelgangers, we solemnly vow never to rest until the beast is first put to sleep. Before then, the fate we have put upon ourselves is to lie awake and ponder the inevitability of the outcome. It is both; or neither...

Thankfully, double dark chocolate is the elixir that works to slay all demons, dopplegangers and etc.

The demon is caffeine. The other demons actually come when I am sleeping as they wouldn't dare approach me unless I am. Even then, they are bashed and sliced to smithereens with my trusty, big black iron cross and the Spirit that resides within us all (except demons).

I average about 4 - 5 hours of sleep per night for the past 8 years or so. Coincidentally, that's around the time I discovered Internet Marketing.

Think there's a correlation?

A lot of times it's hard to sleep because our mind is full of thoughts... might be things to do or a lot of times it's "What IF" scenarios... get up write it down, type it out, say it out loud, record it. Once you think you have it all sorted out, organized and recorded somewhere... your mind will feel more peaceful, and then you can sleep.

Twist and Turn and Twist and Turn in the bed.
Nah bad idea.
Won't help
Won't work.

I never used to sleep at night for 3 years. ( routine was sleeping around 8 or 9 a.m getting up around 2ish)

Thanks heavens I'm sorted now. Still have trouble sleeping at times but I believe depends on how tired you are and 'at peace' your brain is. Also depends ( particularly for internet marketers ) how much caffeine and smoke n red bulls you've been taking while on the pc.
or
If you come across a new idea ( which IM people always do) you just can't stop thinking about it at night and how you going to implement it and all that.

I'd suggest getting up and doing any activity 'out of your bed' should take your mind off things and like Patrician said above stop 'TRYING' to sleep coz when you are trying too hard you really can't succeed until you change the subject mentally and then hopefully you'll soon be drifiting in the sleep lane.

Thanks

This is generally when I get most of my work done... My schedule goes a little something like this:

8:00AM - Finally fall asleep
2:00PM - Wake Up, eat, play
6:00PM - do some work
9:00PM - watch some TV, eat some more
11:00PM - Work more... and watch hulu in between.

I've determined that they only time that I'm an insomniac is when I try to conform to the "regular hours" of the world.. I suppose I'm just naturally nocturnal.

When I can't sleep I usually get up and go to the living room where my partner is and lay down on the couch with him. Usually snuggling with him cures the sleeplessness pretty quickly. He then tucks me back in.
