Insomnia

[Blakeski]

Anyone else ever have this problem? This is the 3rd night this week I haven't slept more than a couple of hours. I usually drink and low and behold all 3 of these nights I haven't got off work in time to get some brews. I'm not into taking pills so what else would work?

what is your diet like?

[UserX]

Eliminate all caffeine.

Yes this past year has been rough with sleep, but then I have a 1 year old, so I suspect mine may have a different cause.

what is your diet like?

I eat 3-4 times a day.

Eliminate all caffeine.

Not a big caffeine guy, however I do drink a Pepsi Throwback every once in a while since I found them lol

I remember those days, matter of fact that was the last time I recall having this problem. I went and got prescribed Ambien and that shit didn't even work. Not willing to try it again anyways.

I average 4 hours usually. If I'm lucky I get 5 1/2. My problem is I can't turn my brain off. I just lay there and think of the most random nonsense and toss and turn. Melatonin pills are hit and miss. I've just grown used to seeing things out of the corners of my eyes or shadow people that sleep depravation brings....lol

too much sugar before bed time, like from a mixed drink
allergies
stress
sleeping too much on the other days (you should have around 8 hrs a night)
irregular sleep schedule
depression

I'd consider limiting your alcohol consumption for a week or two, and see if that gets you back on a regular schedule. Sounds to me like you may heve developed a light physical dependency issue, excessive alcohol consumption (in frequency and/or amount) can most certainly disrupt your sleep cycle.

i guess im the only one that gets powered up by it.
Ive had problems sleeping for a very long time, mostly because i work nights, have kids and go to school. I realized i cant sleep because i have so much shit on my mind, my mind is full of fuck. I lay in bed tossing and turning because my mind cant shut down.
Now, i dont consider myself a gamer and i purchased my PS3 for the bluray but recently ive been playing MW3 and BlackOps online (lets not turn this into a game debate) and ive never played games like this before but i think that these games are so fast paced that it overloads my brain causing it to overflow with shit thus clearing my mind. I dont know how else to explain it buy after an hour or two of playing, i can sleep. Or exercise, i get good sleep after i run a mile but aint nobody got time fa' dat!

Smoke a hootie.

A few good rips on the ole bong will lay you right down.

That does make me tired, but only smoke once in a blue moon.

This is tough. I can admit that I do have a beer problem, and it is the way I chose to unwind. I haven't drank since Thursday and that was the last night I got a good nights rest.
