It's currently 4:44 in lovely Arizona, and happen to be out of sleeping pills at this location, and no way to get to sleep. No NyQuil, nothing. What are some things you do other than pills or nyquil? This is going to be super lame if it keeps up when school starts on monday.

It's perfect for me:D. Being of course I live on the east coast...I suggest you invest in a Sony NetMD and keep it somewhere safe. Seriously, they're great when you can't go to sleep...

I suffered from insomnia until I was 18 years old. Sometimes I would only get an hour or two of sleep a night growing up.

My politically incorrect solution : alcohol.

I started boozing in college and never had a problem sleeping again. Guess my chemistry was missing something.

EDIT: constant exercise helped put me to sleep, also.

6 to 10 drinks will allow to fall asleep but you wont get any REM sleep and therefore you will not be rested the next day.

True...nrem sleep does almost nothing, you're just there. Rem is what makes you feel energized and rested the next day.

Which is why mine and racinda240sx's method is the best.

I don't really want REM sleep. I have bizarre dreams when I enter REM and they have a wierd relevance to future events that creeps me out. It seems like I actually get less rest when I'm in REM because my mind goes bonkers.

And I have never felt refreshed after sleeping...I hate sleeping, actually...it's just something I have to do to stay alive. Like eating.

EDIT: Be careful with melatonin - it will make you oversleep very, very easily (as I learned the hard way).

GMT is Greenwich Mean Time. from their website:"Greenwich, England has been the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) since 1884. GMT is sometimes called Greenwich Meridian Time because it is measured from the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.""The Greenwich Meridian (Prime Meridian or Longitude Zero degrees) marks the starting point of every time zone in the World. GMT is Greenwich Mean (or Meridian) Time is the mean (average) time that the earth takes to rotate from noon-to-noon. GMT is fixed all year and does not switch to daylight savings time. GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by GMT. Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone. Greenwich Mean Time is international time, the basis of the world time clock. Marks precision time and military time (sometimes called Zulu Time). Defines date and time and exact time. The atomic time clock is adjusted by leap seconds to maintain synchronicity with GMT."

back on topic, I just go to sleep. of course, I usually can't get up early 'cause I feel like **** 'cause I didn't get enough sleep, but oh well. that's what school does.

LOL. I work out just about everyday, and did many sets of the gayest excersizes ever in 110 degree heat: squats. The single most bad horrible excersize ever. And then I sat inside and post whored all day....well not really.. I went to a PCBang and played CS then went to my other house. But for some reason when I tried to sleep last night I just kept giggling for no reason. hah.

I'd be willing to try....tell your wife to come over. :pface

But more seriously, for me I tend to try and think about things I want to do(mostly with my car). Tends to get me to sleep.
