insomnia and dodgy sleep patterns

[filthydave]

so who like me can't hold down a job cos their sleep patterns are all fucked up?
is it just me bein a lazy bastard or does it get everyone to some degree?
i dunno i just found myself on my sofa at 2ish this mornin after passin out about 5.30 yesterday
all well and good you might say it is the w/end but i'm wide awake now at half 9 on a sunday mornin and i didn't even go out last night
it'll be the middle of next week at this rate b4 i'm back to 'normal'
any tips on gettin to sleep?

insomnia (http://www.no-future.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1360)

here's a thread,currently on page 2 of erutufon board....
some suggestions there

my suggestion - no stimulants at least 4 hrs before a bedtime of 10:30, set alarm to wake u at 6:30 - 7:00am on weekdays, whether u work or not, take a long walk before bedtime if u don't feel 'tired', and try some of the suggestions in the previous thread ;)

good luck with re-setting your clock, dave - been partying hard recently?

beer than some nice heavy masturbation...

[filthydave]

not reset the clock since last w/end!
missed that insomnia thread must be going blind
it just gets beyond a joke sometimes cos i end up falling asleep when i should be awake and bein awake when the rest of the world is in bed!
it is prime time for tunes and stuff but i've already had one noise complaint here and don't really want another

Apparently the brain sleeps in cycles of about 45 minutes, going from quite deep to quite low, if you wake up in a trough then you'll find it difficult to wake up...

Someone told me, although I've never tried it, to spend some time varying what time you wake up by 20mins either side so as to make sure you hit a peak when you wake up... But I think this relies on you going to bed at a consistent time - I've never been mature enough to do such things - specially since my parents were so strict on what time I should go to bed - so it comes naturally to me, to stay up until I can hardly hold my eyes open - because I can - so there... ppppppllllll!!!!!

Course this doesn't solve why you fall asleep, maybe you should change your nick to lazydave :-)

Maybe takes Sheridan's advice and settle yourself in for what we have recently been referring to as an 'Allday Wank!' Was going to make a sign in the style of 'Allday Breakfast Served Here'

or as my boss said after his first week at work and in London...

"Right I'm off home to wank myself into a coma..." which I thought qutie succinct considering he had only just moved here and knew next to no one.
