[streetsmart73]

I think I've recommended reading in bed in another thread. Your eyes would naturally tire out and you would fall asleep. For you, the recommended book should be the Bible.

Hello there. this is one topic I like to give my 2 cents worth. I tried meditation - which is really good for me, it is not easy but after some practice, instead of going into deep meditation, I actually felt very sleepy and have very good deep sleep. Well i guess although I try to have good meditation practise , but the side effect (or benefit shoulod I say) is I can sleep better.
In essence, meditation in its simplest form is focusing on the breath and expell thoughts, logically if you think about it, it make sense cause every time people says oh dont think too much,it is too much thoguhts that cause us so much headache, and sleepless night. so if we can focus on the breath (which could be very very boring initially but then if you practise - it becomes refreshing and sharpen your mind) we are actually not thinking of "things" and gradually we will get to a calm balance state. For me, I guess it help me as I really dont meditate very well, but still I can get to a stage where I am sleepy and have a good sleep....heheh try it.

Exercise is good. Remember those days in police academy (and army camps for for in army)? Shacked like hell, just close your eyes and fall asleep. In fact, some standing in parade square closed eyes also could sleep.

Bro, you got catch some sleep boh? If really persistent, think have to see doctor already. Just relax and maybe read some boring book or watch tv with low volume. I do doze while watching TV.

On sleeping during NS time, yeah. The only 3 things on my mind during NS is bookout, next smoking break and next opportunity to sleep. Call it no pride or whatever, that's how I complete my 2 years slavery.

bro drifter, I've had insomnia for years. Sleep has never come easy to me, KNN. It was bad when I was climbing the corporate ladder, with all its back stabbing and politics. It only got better when I became self-employed. As mentioned previously by bros here, the body is tired but the brain is running in top gear. Thats the main cause. Exercise is useful, I cycle, swim or play tennis. But i also take sleeping pills sometimes. It can get addictive, so only take in moderation. You can also try relaxation techniques (focusing on contracting muscles in specific areas of the body, hold it for 10, 20 secs. Then relax it. And start again. Can start from toes, then calf muscles, thigh muscles and work your way up to your face muscles). Oh, and a nightcap helps as well. For some pple, soothing music will help, but I prefer total silence.

bro, remember you need to sleep. Our body has a biological clock. It needs us to sleep so that our organs can slow down, and start to cleanse/detox (I was told). If I don't get enough sleep, my blood pressure will shoot up and the body just feels unright. Yes, try the relaxation technique and free your mind at the same time.

 

[chonburifc]

Bro, this is getting serious. sleep deprivation can be quite damaging. Think first priority is to get some sleep tonight and worry later. I am not doctor but suggest get mao and tipsy first and see can fall asleep or not.

How about taking vitamin? I was reading up on calcium, magnesium, vitamin D that time and noticed many of the customer reviews indicated taking these vitamins helped them to sleep better.
