I can not sleep!

TARDCORE · 01-24-2010, 11:59 PM

I love it! Its when the most action happens at my job but the swing shift, 4pm-2am, is just as fun. Im on days until april which sucks balls. In fact my bed time almost here haha. They say to get better sleep is to get more active so if you do work out and all you do is heavy lifting, you might want to throw some cardio in your routine. And they say not to eat like an hour before bed or something like that.

YA I have to get up in 6 hours and time is just slipping away. I think I will be fine and not tired but just besides the point that I can not get back to sleep.

i havent been to bed before 5am in years

It's easy to fix your sleeping patterns

I know how it is to go to sleep at like 5am then sleep in the next day getting up late, then when the night comes around you are not tired and have trouble sleeping. Tossing and turning for hours.

Its hard but all you have to do is, lets say you get to sleep tonight at 4am, you must set your alarm early, lets say 8am.

You will be a zombie all day most likely but as long as you don't nap later on that day, when night comes you will be exhausted and should sleep well

It way not work out on the first day but regardless you have to set your alarm again to 8am and get up when it goes off, do not sleep in or snooze.

In addition to this don't eat or drink anything close to bedtime.

Also if you workout hard just before dinner (1 hour before) then eat, you should be pretty exhausted by 9-10pm

i think all these suggestions are great...i tend to do a combo...work out, rub out, drink up. be sure to work out a few hours before sleep though, if not you'll be wired. the rub out or drink up part- its all up to you.

i'm really bad about thinking while trying to sleep so i understand that part. i actually make sure to have my phone near the bed so i can use the voice recorder if anything pops into my head pertaining to work or any projects i'm working on. the whole girl thing thankfully isn't an issue. maybe i should look into melatonin.

the rub out is okay but the gf gets angry if we didn't bang that night. i'll usually get up and take a hit or two and that seems to help me.

We go out every friday night line dancing and once in a while hang out on other days. We have known each other for almost all of our lives and pretty much grew up together. We will see were it goes.

Sleeping spills and a shot of Bacardi 151.

Tonight I went to bed early because of class in the morning and here I am 4 hours later awake. Any suggestions?

You're thinking too much. Try normal bedtime routines like brushing the teeth, taking a shower, and NOT drinking alcohol before bed. They say normal routines trick the body into thinking it's time to go to sleep, so you fall asleep faster. As for the waking up, don't know what to tell you. Rub one out again!
