I'm 27 years old, and I still have not figured out how to "shut my brain off" at night when I'm trying to go to sleep. What do you guys do?

6/20/2010 10:30:34 PM

Normally pop a few ambien and drink a 5th of whatever liquor I can find. Then I lie in bed in the fetal position and cry myself to sleep. Works every time!

6/20/2010 10:31:54 PM

a glass of wine and half a unisom

6/20/2010 10:32:36 PM

oops double post!

6/20/2010 10:32:36 PM

read until my eyes burn

6/20/2010 10:33:36 PM

stare into my eyelids and think of nothing

6/20/2010 10:33:46 PM

try not to think about going to sleep

i usually watch tv until I can't stay awake any longer

it usually takes 30 min to an hour before I'm actually snoozing

6/20/2010 10:34:28 PM

what sahashawa said only butt ass naked, rocking back and forth sucking my thumb.

6/20/2010 10:34:36 PM

ibt

6/20/2010 10:35:02 PM

I am agreeing with the alcohol/sleeping pill options
I am interested in learning about the lay down and do nothing options.

6/20/2010 10:36:07 PM

I will come and read to you and rock you to sleep*



*put a bag over your head until you pass out

6/20/2010 10:37:05 PM

OMG, you're trying to murder me
murder me by suffocation

will you suffocate me with your smelly breasts instead?

but that's your M.O., amirite?

6/20/2010 10:39:21 PM

i can't shut mine off at night either

*SIGH*

even if i exercise it just runs and runs. i have an ambien RX but i only used it once on the plane to HK. stuff weirds me out.

i take like unisom type stuff that i got at target. but i have to take 2 to get it to help make me drowsy. i mean it doesn't 100% help me fall asleep though cause again, can't turn off the brain. it sometimes help though?

6/20/2010 10:40:23 PM

^^ I created this thread for help.
I did not create this thread so that you can rehash embarrassing moments from our failed relationship.

6/20/2010 10:41:16 PM

is this a hint that you want some of my good luvin? i already said no. be a man and get over it.

6/20/2010 10:41:25 PM

I kinda veg out with some video games or prepare dinner for the next day. TV is okay but nothing to stimulating. Also, I sit in my recliner and peruse the internet.

6/20/2010 10:42:12 PM

your loving' consists of pain and flatulence.

it will have to wait until I get back from the gym

6/20/2010 10:56:09 PM

no dice

I need a natural funk. Not an exercise induced funk.

6/20/2010 10:57:23 PM

Sleeping with Peter always makes me fall asleep. Maybe you should try sleeping with Peter?

6/20/2010 11:00:14 PM

so you DO want the flatulent lovin then.

6/20/2010 11:00:38 PM

I will try sleeping with ThePepter

6/20/2010 11:00:48 PM

i use breathing exercises to help me shut down my brain

6/20/2010 11:03:02 PM

If sleeping with ThePepter does not work, I will try hyperventilating until I pass out.

6/20/2010 11:04:36 PM

sleep with the ThePeter until you hyperventilate and pass out.

6/20/2010 11:05:54 PM

that sounds painful

6/20/2010 11:06:36 PM

EMCE & ThePeter exposed

6/20/2010 11:07:07 PM

i so have that problem, my brain goes into hyperdrive when i lay down. melatonin helps, but you need to make sure you have the lights off and are laying down in the next 15-20 minutes or you will miss the window of opportunity.

6/20/2010 11:07:36 PM

don't you mean ThePepter

6/20/2010 11:07:57 PM

ThePeter and EMCE hugging it the fuck out. cyrion in the background looking weird, trying to convince us that red sunglasses are cool.

6/20/2010 11:08:42 PM

^^^^^ oh you'll get used to it, don't worry.

[Edited on June 20, 2010 at 11:10 PM. Reason : can ThePeter be the non-hairy one? ]

6/20/2010 11:09:23 PM

make someone drive you around in the car - any car ride longer than 20 minutes puts me right out.

6/20/2010 11:09:37 PM

i just wanted a man hug too but yall had to block me out of the pic.

6/20/2010 11:09:51 PM

if hyperventilating until I pass out, while drilling ThePepter's bootyhole does not put me to sleep, I will have a friend take me for a car ride.

6/20/2010 11:11:09 PM

just get them to drive you around while u drill thepeter in the backseat.

6/20/2010 11:12:01 PM

why can't you do all that in the car?

[Edited on June 20, 2010 at 11:12 PM. Reason : ^ good call]

6/20/2010 11:12:05 PM

I feel like I need a parental consent form to do all of this shit. Jeez, you guys really do all this shit every night before going to sleep?
I usually just brush my teeth, and pull out my contacts.

I've been doing it all wrong for YEARS

6/20/2010 11:13:04 PM

I think we're getting somewhere, cept I don't think ThePeter will let you drill his booty hole. He is very protective over it.

6/20/2010 11:13:27 PM

all is lost

6/20/2010 11:14:19 PM

wow, i thought peter was a trooper, but that's p lame of him.

The thought of taking ambien in a public setting weirds me out

6/20/2010 11:15:36 PM

you could just drink enough so that you feel sleepy, but not so much that it wakes you up to go pee or get a drink

~2 beers

6/20/2010 11:16:41 PM

Drinking 2 beers just makes me want to drink more. College still hasn't "worn off"

Here's a quick break down on the beer/sleepiness chart

no beer - stay awake thinking about thegoodoctor's taint
< 8 beers - Having a good time, but not sleepy
8 beers - Pissed off because I drank, so I can't take sleeping pills... or else I'll die. But if I drink more, I'll hate life tomorrow.
> 8 beers - Have a good time. But the pile of thrown and broken alarm clocks in the corner of my bedroom increases in size.



I just take sleeping pills most nights

6/20/2010 11:22:33 PM

i went to a doctor for insomnia and he said to A) never do anything in your bed besides sex and sleep B) exercise daily C) take a warm bath before bed D) Wake up the same time every day and go to sleep at the same time every night and finally, take a sleeping pill.

My insomnia has been really bad lately... probably b/c Peter is in Belgium. I usually just watch TV till i fall asleep. Usually something kind of boring and soft spoken like that history channel.

6/20/2010 11:24:52 PM

ITT, bmel tries to 86 EMCE by making him go to sleep in the bathtub and drown.

6/20/2010 11:26:25 PM

if he asks for sleep, then I'll give him sleep god dammit

6/20/2010 11:28:33 PM

6/20/2010 11:29:55 PM

Hmm ok so no alcohol. Can't you just have mad amounts of sex until you pass out? That works right?

6/20/2010 11:30:57 PM

at least we wouldn't have to hear your bitching anymore
