Sleep Aids

I sleep really well with earplugs, the pressure in my ears is comforting and I did that whole association thing, so once they're in I know it's bedtime. Don't need them so much for the noise reduction now that I'm out of the dorms, and after maybe three nights, I got over my whole issue with people snoring.

Having a nice bed helped so much. I used to toss all night with back issues, but this new bed does wonders. I'm actually having vivid dreams for the first time in years, so I guess I'm getting deep sleep for once.

A mouth guard?

I actually thought of getting one as well, I tend to grind a bit and have some serious dental issues.

1. 500mg L-Tryptophan. Seriously, get some from GNC. It's non-narcotic, it won't fuck you up like Melatonin and it's better than Valerian root.

2. Shenmue

3. Shenmue 2

The first part is helpful. Shenmue, as boring as I've found it, could never help me sleep.

While in Texas I created a mixed drink that contained a shot of cherry nyquil, but that was only for the mornings.

I just can't do the sleepless for days thing, I won't be able to function at all.
And I've said all I have to say about nyquil.

I will agree with this, I've slept better on this "new" bed than any one before it, but then again I was drunk a lot of the time.

It's pretty easy to find, too, in drug stores.

This. I have taken it many times I always get a good night's rest without feeling groggy.

Tylenol PM is nice.

I have had the exact same problem for as long as I can remember, with it only getting worse, this past year especially. I've spent most of the year staying up into the wee hours, or not sleeping at all. Either I can't stop thinking of things going on or I want to work on my projects. In fact, I've been up all night reading on the web and working on pictures. Although doing a lot of activities does help, most of the time I can't get out as often as I would like. I haven't tried sleeping pills, but having a few drinks is one of the only ways I can guarantee an early night sleep.

I went to this after NyQuil stopped being effective. Monday I started using nothing and hating life, however when I wake up from my few hours of sleep I'd feel much better than when taking anything to help me pass out.

Shit sucks, but kick the habit when you can.

nyquil hangovers are no joke.

If you drink coffee, tea or cola at all during the day cut it.
