I just force myself to pretty much think of absolutely nothing. Doesn't work well if I am not tired. In which case I do not sleep. An hour or so of Pink Floyd usually does the trick though.
Complete silence.. if anybody is making noise any where else in the general area.. I cannot sleep. NO tv on.. no sound what so ever other than the fan.
even if somebody has the tv on in the room next to me.. and I hear it.. it'll keep me up for hours.

Is that throughout the whole sleep, or just at the beginning when you're falling to sleep?

I can sleep during a movie, an earthquake, a bright room with music playing, a party. Noise and lights don't bother me much.
I wonder if our respective tolerances are conditioned? Could I condition myself to need dark and silence with enough of it, or could you condition yourself to lights and sound?
Oh and I HAVE slept through all those things. Lol.

Is that throughout the whole sleep, or just at the beginning when you're falling to sleep? the whole time.. if the room warms up at all. I'll wake up.. If anybody starts making noise.. I'll wake up. as soon as the sun light starts to shine through the window in the morning.. I wake up.

I generally watch videos and fall asleep. Strange though, I sometimes watch NES and it keeps me awake. But PS2 and higher up walkthroughs make me stay more awake. P the videos I watch are ones where close your eyes and you feel like you are in the environment - like a barber shop. I also listen to FF, DQ, and Zelda songs to make me sleep.

I used to be able to sleep with the tv on, so I'm not entirely convinced that's true. I probably could condition myself to sleep under different circumstances, but why do that when it works fine how I do it now?

That's cool. I could fall asleep to the Legend of Zelda fairy song easily.
Have I ever bothered to tell you how creepy your sig is?
I simply can't get to sleep for hours unless I have television going in the background. My mind just races non-stop unless it's go something to focus on. So I generally put it on the history channel, set it for an hour or so, and lay there and watch. Usually always asleep before time's up.
[QUOTE="rawsavon"]Sadly...alcohol...in massive quantities I have severe sleep issues Nobody says you -have- to sleep every day, you know. I only sleep every other day, and those sessions barely gets me to stage 4 sleep before i wake up again. Treasure it. I know i do, it gives me more concious hours on this earth to do as i please. (:
Luckily I generally work the later hours and so I can pretty much stay up all night until I feel like passing out. When I need to put myself down though I typically just leave some white noise TV broadcast on that is repetitive such as ESPN Sportsnight or CNN Headline News. If I feel my metabolism is a bit high I generally take some cold medicine to put myself down forcibly although my body adapts and attacks medication so I have to use it sparingly lest it have no effect at all.
Sometimes just taking a few deep breaths. Breathing seems too simple to work, but does the trick for me. And, once I'm asleep, I'm asleep. I mean I can wakeup if someone comes in my room. But for the most part, I have slept thru sonic booms and only knew cause my mom or dad would ask me in the morning if I heard it. =)
I sleep in the same position everyday, at the same time everyday. I always have a cup of water and pray before going to bed. I usually fall right asleep after that.

(: At this point it is really a vanity thing...for seem reason I look like hell (as opposed to just looking like heck on a normal basis) if I don't lay in bed for at least 4.5 hours -but at least I get some good thinking/planning done in that time
