Popular Myths: Sleep.

[Insert Comedy Here]

I have my mil boiling over a saucepan, a book on accounting next to my bed, and the herd of shep I recently 'aquired' are being attached to the Sheep-Jumping-Fence-o-Matic.

What am I missing Escapists?

What else do need to get a good nights sleep.

A thread on popular, unpopular, or even downright wacky ways that have managed to get you to dreamland.

Also looking for a better word to replace myths.

A 30min walk a few hours before bed usually does it for me. (I have a dog that needs exercising. ...and so do I)

Just clear your head of all thoughts, a cliche, but its the only thing I find actually helps.
If thats to hard, then yes...alcohol.

 

[Soxafloppin]

A nice mug of Horlics does the trick.

Sex if you're male.

Nightcap of some strong beverage works well, or you could just raid your medicine cabinet and down whatever with side effects that make you drowsy, don't advise doing that every night though.

Not that I'm asking 'How can I sleep', my method works perfectly, I just want to know what all the cliched answers were.

And then the Escapists answers. Because you guys are funny.

Do you live in a big city? Go on a hobo punching rampage just before bed to tire out.

We are funny aren't we?

Well that's my answer. Jerk it and you fall asleep instantly.

Well it works for me anyway.

No, they're geeks. And so are you. Hence why they are funny.
OT: Don't sleep anything for a day or two and you'll be asleep within e few minutes.

My old English teacher used Gone With The Wind as his insomnia cure. As for HOW that put him to sleep, frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

 

[Kron_the_mad wants to be deleted]

sleep is for "normal people" i hibernate through the summer then spend the winter catching up on all the summer releases.

 

[Chechosaurus]

I either read for an hour or two or drink my self into a drunken stupor and sleep where I fall. Not great for your health and not exactly what I would call sleeping... More like unconscious but it does take you out of existence for a good 8-10 hours.

Have someone hit you in the jaw, repeat until you fall asleep.

I find that helps me, particularly if I can't sleep because my head is full of T&A. Sometimes the feeling needs some healing, right?

I also find that keeping a regular schedule where you get up very early helps. When I was working on a co-op, I had to get up every morning at about 4:00 AM to make it to work on time and get organized. I would be asleep every night by 8:00 PM without any trouble. Sometimes I would even crash out around 6:00 PM.

Not very good for my social life, mind you, but definitely a good way to sleep.

Exercise and a warm bath before bed? Not playing videogames after it gets too late? Hurr.
