So, do you have to leave anything on or going in order to fall asleep?

Me personally, I leave the TV on, put it on mute, and hit sleep for 30 minutes. If I'm still awake when it shuts off, I turn it back on and watch until I do finally fall asleep.

If I can sleep as long as I want the next day: watch tv/ gamespot until I start to crash.

If I have school the next day: I just go to sleep, I'll be tired enough from studing

well being on the computer does not help, it just keeps me up. I usually read like i'm probably going to in a minute or two, or i take one of those pills that is suppose to help you fall asleep.

I can't sleep with clothing on anymore it drives me crazy, and I have to have a pretty cool room (temperature) if it is warm or hot I just can't sleep if it i scold i can. oh and I need the shades or blinds open I am sared of the dark to and I need a pillow or a pile of covers stacked between my knees because they are soft and comfy.

I listen to the song "Iodine Sky" and it puts me to sleep within minutes. If I'm wide awake and I hear that song I start getting drowsy

I usually play a bit of DS or read some of Dune, or surf the internet, if I don't feel sleepy on a schoolday. If it doesn't work at around 01, I take half a sleeping pill and dose off..

LOL yeah. First, I need some kind of noise. A fan or something like that. I use a white noise maker. Also, I will read a book for like 30 minutes. Music doesn't cut it, I don't know why. I don't think I would be able to just get into bed and go to sleep, though I havn't tried in years.

A nice hot shower or bath makes me sleepy, and I like putting those oil burners on for when I get back into my room. Sometimes a cuddle helps me fall asleep :D

LOL. I suck at this. I roll around a lot when I'm getting ready to go to sleep. Having to lie in one position for a long period of time drives me ****ing crazy. I can never fall a sleep like that. So, cuddling doesn't work for me. At least not when I'm trying to get to sleep. :D

I listen to music. The odd thing is, it isn't classical music like some people would think. It's grunge/rock/alternative/metal. After a few songs, I'm tired though

Lol :lol: My house is really noisy at the moment, because we're rebuilding. And I was home most of this week, because I was basically very sleepy (around 15 hours of sleep daily I think), and I slept through hammering, banging, sawing and all that, when my dad was working on the kitchen :lol:

When I was younger, instead of just thinking and nightdreaming while trying to sleep I would just think of darkness. My mind would be basically blank and I would doze off. Now i just turn the T.V. on and put a sleep timer on.

i have a really big theory involving sleep,

i think that as we grow up, we develope pressure points on our body from where we lay most nights, sleeping in the same position at a young age, our body developes several unique key pressure points, so that when we are older, the body can fall asleep faster when all these pressure points are simultaneously pressed.

i realized this after having a terrible time sleeping in any bed but my own, and i have to have my pillows and my blanket, and be in one certain position.

5 hours is enough for me, but I usually try for 8 if I have the time too, usually dont though. 8 is the recommended amount, especially for muscle gain. I tend to get about 6-7 hours of sleep a night. 10 hours is when I feel like I just slept too much (If I even get there). If I get near 8, I get up anyways even if I am still tired, then I just kinda try to wake up throughout the day. If I dont, then I take about an hour nap sometime during the day when I know I'll have nothing to miss.

Normally i'm out like a light, but if I have trouble sleeping i'll sometimes turn on CNN and fall asleep to David Gergen's soothing yet masculine voice.

Take a couple benadryl and I'm out like a light usually. I used to suffer from Insomnia though, which required powerful sleeping medications that often failed anyways.
