any one else struggle sleeping at night ???
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

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.

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

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

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...

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

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..

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.
