Safari and Explorer Favourite Manga FMA I guess, not that i read it anymore	I haaaaave a question, what can help you sleep? I mean is the whole hot milk, this and that true? I didnt try it yet, but does it really work? This may seem silly, but a lot of the things that are supposed to help you with w/e, neeeever work on me. Lately, or ever since the middle of this summer, I haven't had trouble.."sleeping" but rather getting there, its always taking long to fall asleep now for some reason and it can get annoying, anyone know how this can be helped?

FF Favourite Manga Batman	I can't tell you what helps sleeping, other than pills because the milk thing is rather opinionated. What doesn't help you sleep is staying up just to click away on the internet. As soon as it's a certain hour, I'll recomend 12:00. Turn off everything and hit the sack. It helps, lay there all you want but it's better than focusing your eyes on a television set or computor. Even if it takes you 2 hours to sleep. Eventually you'll be sleeping in no time. The less distractions the more sleep, point being, at a certain hour, it's lights out.

No whirring from a computer, as it creates noise and heats the room up. 3) Open a window if it's too hot/Turn up the radiator if it's too cold. 4) Fluff up your pillows and switch it over to the cool side. 5) Possibly remove a pillow or all pillows and sleep with just a cover and the matress. 6) Have a drink of water. 7) Attempt to sleep in a different position that what you are used to, you may not be able to sleep because of an ache or just feeling uncomfortable. 8) If you go to sleep listening to music, do not listen to anything like Rock, Rap etc. Listen to something more soothing, or nothing at all. 9) Read until the end of this list, 50 billion times. 10) Do what Mc Esse advised. That should keep you going for now.

hoighty-toighty Posts: 11,070 Group: Guardian Member #48 Joined: December 17, 2004 Gender Male Country United States What Browser do you use? Firefox, when it isn't crashing.	A glass or so of water always helps me relax and get to sleep. When I can't sleep I always go get water, I usually immediately go to sleep after that. I also restrict caffeine intake after 3pm or so. In some cases, if i'm doing a lot of repetitive things during the day, I'll have vivid annoying dreams that will keep me awake. Or i'll be thinking about something so much that i can't fall asleep. Usually if I sit up in bed and just think about something else it will fix it. But that's a mind thing. I wouldn't suggest hot milk. It might be nasty.

Yeah, at least not a lot of it, because it might go cold and end up stinking if you left it, it might taste nasty too, plus you'd have a weird taste in your mouth when you were asleep that you wouldnt get if you had water. If milk doesnt taste nice if it warms up normally, what makes people think heating it up will make it taste good?

Hot milk is better if you don't use full cream, unless you like having cream on it, personally, the sight of cream on milk makes me feel sick, lol. Anyway, sleep wise, I just stay up until I am so tired I'd fall asleep, which depends on how much I have done that day and if there is anything bothering me. I can't really suggest anything, sleeping tablets never worked for me, though you could try them, there are some natural ones as oppose to laboretory chemicals.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist	All the advice given so far is basically what I'd say. Music usually helps me, try and stick it on a CD player or something because headphones usually get in the way and are uncomfortable whilst sleeping. Don't have it too loud. It gives you something to focus on and next thing you know you're awake and it's morning :P A tidy room helps. Try reading with a lamp on until you're feeling groggy. The worst thing to do if you're having trouble falling asleep, in my opinion, is to just lie there in silence. That way your mind has nothing else to focus on apart from the fact you can't sleep, which makes it 100x harder.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga Fullmetal Alchemist	A handy way I always use to fall asleep is count how many ways the bible is wrong. (I kid) Seriously though, I always find that letting your mind just...wander around can be pretty good. Focusing on a subject (a handy one for me is life and death) and then start getting philosophical about it. I fall asleep quite a lot thinking about life after death, if there's a god, if I've liked my life, if I'm determined down my path. Sometimes, this makes it more difficult, in which case I just lie in silence. Which works eventually, lmao

Pickles. Posts: 962 Group: Member Member #1,768 Joined: October 1, 2006	What I usually do is put on some music, and reflect on the day I had. If I didn't do much that day, then I focus on something that may be coming up, or daydream (I guess). But if I have trouble sleeping... I dunno, I just keep trying to get to sleep and it eventually works haha.

It's amazing how it stays in your body and keeps you up at night. Another thing I found useful is avoid being in bed when you're not actually going to sleep. It's more of a psychological thing, but if your mind gets used to the fact that when you go to your bed, you sleep, it tends to do so more readily. So avoid things like reading in bed, using a laptop, or things other than sleeping.
