I hear you man, In the past two days I went from being really damn tired, to not being able to fall asleep.
Being sick sucks
Fight Club.
No really, i have insomnia really bad and take medication for it. Other than being a good excuse for being late to work everyday the med's really don't do it, especially Ambien which is usually too fun to go to bed (but that's another story).
I started training for long distance stuff like the Xtrerra events and spend a few hours at the gym from 7-9 just wearing myself out. It usually works, because I shut my brain off, listen to music and run on the treadmill / stationary bike or swim. It takes a few hours when I get home but eventually my body just shuts down.
I did the 24HOA solo last weekend and my body is still craving sleep. It's great.
EDIT: Don't drink any caffiene after noon. It sucks but it does help.

I recommend that you go see a Neurologist/Sleep Disorder Specialist. Cleared my Insomnia right up through a little Medication and some lifestyle changes. The medications were used only in short term and I haven't had any reoccurrences.
Alcohol..... lots and lots of alcohol.Damn True said:
Reading works for me. I grab a book, lay down in bed and I am out cold in 5 minutes.
Go run until you can hardly stand. I know its not as fun as riding, but it tires you out WAY faster.Damn True said:
I would just like to say:
DAMN you for getting that horrible, horrible song stuck in my head.

Did that get rid of it?

Unfortunately, no. Not much can top The Ramones for horrible, I-want-to-drill-a-hole-in-my-skull, stuck-in-your-head lyrics.SkaredShtles said:
There's a good, easy fix for having songs stuck in your head, though, S.S. You only have to know one thing...
You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away, know when to run
You never count your money, when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done

Damn, True... that sucks about yer inability to sleep yo. My two recommendations are as follows:
1.) Start commuting to work. It's doing the trick for me, at night I'm freaking TIRED, and it's only been two days.
2.) Move to Colorado. Less oxygen = sleepy Damn True. Plus, you might even get a date when not surrounded by tiny, migrant engineers all the time. And last I checked, dates tend to wear a fella out.

Bong loads! Lot's and lot's of bong loads. That coupled with mass quantities of BEER, and a little sex, all after you have commuted to and from work should knock you right out.
Seiously though, I have found that (like others have said) not drinking caffiene after 2 ish in the afternoon, and excersising seems to help with my own insomnia. I smoke pot which really does help, though I understand that you may not want to smoke dope. (Though you should!

Ya know looking at the crow's feet in the outsides of True eyes I always wondered. Has he ever or currently "burned the fern"?Ciaran said:Bong loads! Lot's and lot's of bong loads.

There will be no disparaging remarks made about the Ramones in my thread mister.binary visions said:
The first, last, and best punk band ever!
it depends on what your deal is. i know personally all my insomnia is due to stress, and overanalyzing. Too much time in the brain. Being single helps me get great sleep.
But a simple trick i do that seems to help is douse your hands and wrists in freezing water or put an ice pack on em. It draws the blood away from your brain to heat up your hands and body.

Hurry hurry hurry, before I start to spoil
I think I'm gettin old, I think I'm growin mold!
Oh no oh oh oh oh......
Sorry....
Go to Longs in the sleep aid section and look for a homeopathic product called Calms Forte...it's all natural, non-habit forming and it totally helps put you to sleep like a baby without the hang over feeling the next morning.Damn True said:
