i know i'm not alone on this one , but it takes me ages to get off to sleep at night
feel tired at 10 pm so go to bed , been in bed 10 mins wide awake again , then i cant stop thinking about uter crap , ie what to do to my cars , house , what car i'd like to buy etc
then thats me for at least 1hr before i even want to try to close my eyes .
i dont eat rubbish food , only have 2 cups of tea in the morning , it is starting to pee me off , and the other half is saying i'm a grumpy sod at night .
i feel tired about 2 ish every day in the afternoon
any one got any ideas what i can try to help me sleep

 

Stop thinking about things

 

coffee

 

on a serious note tho have energy drinks as soon as you wake up and have one ever now and then during the day then at about 3pm stop having them and wait for the effect of them to fook off and thats it your'e a gonner!

 

you know what, it sounds like a fcking shit answer from a 2 year old but i think he's actually right, just dont keep thinking, let your mind relax.

 

yeh i know what you mean just relax , but i work my ass off all day 8,30-7 ish 6 days a week
then when i get home it's the only time i get to think about my own stuff

might give the energy drink stuff ago , what type red bull ?? or the stuff you can buy when you go to the gym ??

 

I can totally understand what you're saying about the thinking thing. My mind is fucked because of how I think. I spend ALL day every day thinking about everything I have on the go and in great detail too. It causes anxiety and thats the reason you can't sleep.

I have no trouble sleeping, but I have other quite serious symptoms caused by it.

I'm thinking of trying hypnotism.

 

im the same mate,,, terrible sleeeper

 

I've never been a great sleeper - can get off OK but quite often awake half the night. Drives me up the wall.

 

Have a wank, always makes you sleep afterwards!! ............. apparantly!!

 

tesco own stuff. 'kick' its like Ł1.50 for 2 litres (1 litre bottles on offer)

have 2 or 3 in a day. or more if you take to the flavor lol. red bull costs too much.

also relentless works well but is more money however tastes better IMO.

 

I'm also not a very good sleeper unless i'm asleep then i rarley wake up half way through, takes ages to nod off, mind is always racing and thinking about the days events and what i have planned , found a few cans a night before bed time helps loads

Usually have 12 - 14hrs sleep on me days off if i have nothing planned, god i love me pit

Bri.

 

whiskey is good too.,

 

Im my experience focusing on relaxing rather than sleeping will help big time.
Prepare your mind for rest, which will then lead to sleep.

Take time out to relax before going to bed, allow your mind time to slow down.

Something as simple as listening to your Ipod or sticking a set of headphones on and listening to your Hifi.

 

the energy drink is aBAD idea, take this from a bloke who drinks 3 cans of relentless per day MIN, i find without it now i cant work as efficient and the director has ALSO noticed that he also brings me relentless when he goes for lunch

the reason you cant sleep is STRESS, your thinking about something but its stressing you out

its not santa syndrome as its every night so i would say its stress, i was like that for ages due to the cossie, my personal plate and other general stuff like having a child but not being secure blah blah

i still have issues sleeping but its caused by using a fucking comouter each night till i pass out

seriously either have sex, that will knock you out or read a book then have a wank if your single ( dont think the missus would feel good about you reading then gettign in the mood

also turn the radio on low with the static white noise, that will help you not to be disturbed

seriously though it sounds like theres some form of stress you aint realised though

took me a while but i discovered it in the end

oh and NEVER drink a can of relentless at 1am if you aint got any milk in and fancy a drink in the night

i done that ONCE,,, was up till 530am when i fell a sleep for a hour and went to work


oh sunbeds also promote sleep, the missus when she cant sleep turns it on for a hour and shes off in 5 mins

 

you my friend are MORE than just a pretty face

andy i discovered morphine is also good for sleep, did you

 

Wise words me thinks Andy, defo restless nights usually happen from the mind going frantic, or worry, if you can just get into and relax, try and picture nice things in your head/mind, that's what i've always done, it does help...

 

Me too. I have to go to bed when my eyes are struggling to keep open otherwise i cant nod off

 

oh and tescos "kick" is 24 pence in the 150ml cans

remember that too much caffine will give you runny shites, most peoples stomaches cant take 32mg per 100 mill of caffinee when you are driniking 2 to 3 litres per day

though i cant function in the mornings without it these days,, but im working on it

imagine how sad it is that ive got a small caffinee dependancy

 

imagine how you missus feels,, thinking shes sleeping with jim galbally

 

Ginge, dead right about the energy drinks.

When i used to do body building on the late 80`s, i rammed energy drinks down my neck, amino acids, you name it, i could hardly sleep at nights, mind you alot of that was due to the buzz from training at night

Try to aviod HUGE meals aswell before sleeping..

Stay of the whizz and ultimate orange..

 

I take offence at that

 

yeah red force, i drink that in the gym, gives me a kick so i get into rowing though

guts are fucked though if im honest, all that caffine and protein,, aint good for it im afraid to say

 

Strange that cos if i eat a curry late on it makes me sleepy

 

imagine how the missus feels,,,, has she ever spoke about that night in your M3 yet

though to be fair,,,, you married her even though jim propsed

 

Ginge, i did a 3 months course of Steriods, for my sinns, you should try those for rowing oh and acne on your back

 

Dont ginners have bad skin anyways without adding to it with Acne

 

makes me late for work too,,,, extra 30 mins wondering when the ice cream desert will be following to sooth the pain

 

sorry, i got spot issues already on my back, dont want any roids to add more thanks

id rather get a speed boat than take roids

 

Gave in with the hot ones ages ago, prefer to just go for taste now. Hottest ill go now is a jalfrezi so hot arse aint an issue anymore

 

yeah, im pretty much in the same situation as Christian

 

if you want taste, garlic chilli chicken with saag aloo

seriously wont stain the worktops like a vindaloo will ( trust me ive been there ) and just perfect for the mix

though ice cream IS needed still im afraid

 

 

Ginge !

Always go for dishes with high garlic content...thats the flavour for me..

Like a Chicken tikka garlic balti
With garlic rice and a garlic n corriander naan

Oh give up ffs i aint eaten in 2 days ive got the trotters

 

im about to grab a curry now, im hungry

i discovered the garlic chilli chicken in a curry house on brick lane, couldnt decided what to have and he recomended it

ive been hooked since, wont even change my order

 

ooo couldnt stick to one thing like to try new ones

Fook this is killing me

 

Ginge. With the stuff on tap in hospital sleep was easy, possibly more a case of knocking yourself out In pill form its was pretty much the same.

Nasty when it comes time to stopping though on quitting painkillers after years of use I remember.
Week after week of just a couple of hours sleep a night, shivers etc etc.
Like a propper junkie just cutting it out your system.

 

i still take it now and again when the tramaol dont work

or when i just feel a little low

i remember when i was taking them every 3 hours though, fuck me i was freeking out

cheers for ya help though that time though, if it wasnt for you i doubt i would have understood waht was going on, owe ya a few beers for that

 

Southern Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken YUM!!!!!

No worries Ginge

 

Ginge !

where do you buy your cans of relentless from. is it in a brown can

never seen it in the shops or petrol stations ????
