Are you the one in the corner, spread eagled or huddled up against someone else?

Yeap, I'm that bored! It's gone past 5 and I'm still up. I slept for like 2 hrs but I feel quite awake, just a bit bored. Tips for sleeping? Or do I just need to drink more alcohol before bed? :p:
 
I sleep on my stomach so the freefall but before I'm in the mood to sleep and am just lying down, I'm the foetus. I'm bored too, I don't know why I'm still awake!
 
Yeah me too, though more free fall. I'm contemplating playing the sims till I pass out and drool all over the keyboard. Least I'll get to see sunrise
 
Ah, sleep. That's that thing i should probably get around to....
My sleep position varies a lot. From that site... I'm a Foetus/Log/Soldier. xD
How about you, what position?!

And, tips for sleeping.. feel tired; wear yourself out and you'll find it easier to sleep.
Perhaps put yourself in a relaxing scene in your mind.. .golden beaches with waves lapping the sand; sun shining down as you lay on the beach... and let yourself drift to sleep. Switch off as much electric as you can (switching off at the plugsocket)... this can reduce background noise and electric 'humming'. Also, make the room as dark as possible.

:)
 
Regarding sleeping better; supposedly after a few hours alcohol starts to take the opposite effect and keeps you awake. :dontknow: Maybe less caffeine if you consume a lot?

Eating Bananas is supposed to make you feel sleepy, as is drinking warm milk. Maybe try light exercise too?
 
My room's pretty much dark and quiet. Not even the hum of a tv plugged in. I tend to daydream when trying to fall asleep cos counting sheep isn't as fun as it used to be :p: but I am trying to do more in the day. I will feel tired, just won't fall asleep straight away, and when I do finally sleep, when I wake up I still feel tired. Endless cycle of chasing sleep! Thanks for the tips though.
 
Only noticed that after a night out, the alcohol keeps you buzzing but I do think last nights glass of wine put me to bed quicker. Don't drink tea or coffee. But will try the warm milk.
 
Nah, she's handcuffed in place :ninja:



Might try the milk myself, despite just advising it I've never tried it, but I'm pretty sure it works, the thought of it makes me feel pretty sleepy ...
 
I know what you mean by the waking and still feeling tired!

What's awkard for me is that my family expect me not to be up so early; as i tend to go to bed late and get out around 11ish, or later.
In an hour, my mum will be up; and if she realises I'm awake she'd probably have a go, guess I haven't slept... or keep asking why I'm up so early. And, if i go to sleep, I probably won't wake until mid afternoon; and i don't want that again xD
 
usually I just sleep on my side in the middle of the bed or the left side(it's a double). Sometimes i cuddle a pillow, sometimes not, depends how snuggly it needs to be, at the moment it's too hot.
 
Oh the poor girl. She's probably gnawing away at her wrists :p: I might try a hot chocolate. I used to fall asleep watching South Park...cartman's voice soothed me to sleep :D



Oh that sucks. My family pretty much the same when I go back home. If your not out of bed by 9am, your lazy and wasting the day. It's 9am!! :eek3: I used to have insomnia so I can cope without sleep for up to 30 hours. My personal best hehe have you tried going to bed early or do you just not get tired easily?
 
Presumably this wasn't published in Nature and that the "scientists" alluded to are tabloid journalists.
 
I have to sleep next to the wall, that's my weird lil sleeping thing. If I'm not, I really won't sleep at all.
 
I lie on my back with my right arm in a Nazi salute :ninja:


I wonder what the website has to say about that.
 
Sometimes when I've tried going to sleep early (10pm) I'm still laying awake at 1am... but othertimes I can fall aslep without any problem!
Wasting the day.... yeah; i do that a lot lately!
