I haven't been able to sleep properly for nearly a week now...I fall asleep at like 5-6am nowadays, wake up for class (they start at 2pm for me), then repeat. Even on days I don't have classes, I sleep late, wake up relatively early, or just keep waking up and end up not feeling restless when I do get up...

Does anyone have any ideas?

The two options I'm thinking of right now are either to try reading some of my class material...nothing puts me to sleep faster (but I probably won't sleep well anyway), or power down like 4-5 shots of Jack and try to pass out.

Man, this is frustrating.

That just happens to me when i've got a crappy rythm. I personally can't fall asleep between 2/3 and 6/7AM.
To solve this I either just go to bed between 10 and 12PM one night, do NOT get up after that, just stay in bed and set my alarm clock for like 8/10AM. Or, if i can afford to basically be a zombie one day, just pull an all nighter doing something and don't sleep at all before 8PM the next day (don't take a nap, that'll mess everything up).
It's just a bad sleeping cycle and can be solved in 24h .

I was thinking about doing that...but I don't think I can last for another fourteen hours.

I always laugh at this problem. Like your life is so out of control you can't even stay up until 10 pm one night and then sleep? Really?

Stay up all night, force yourself to wade through the next day, and go to sleep between 9 and 11 PM. You'll be relieved
Complete the cycle!

yea ive got classes at 2pm also, but on somedays its 5pm. and wanting to stay up late to watch starcraft doesn't really help either. i end up going to sleep at like 9-10 in the morning. sometimes later, sometimes ive got to take sleeping pills just t get a good night sleep.

No...I've just been having trouble sleeping recently. My life is nothing extraordinary, at the moment. What I wrote above and your assumption have absolutely no inferable relation.

I read these tips somewhere...

The hour before you decide to sleep, you should relax. Basically put yourself in a sleeping mode. Try not to stay in front of the computer, dim the lights, relax your brain. Don't do something intense like studying because then your mind will be on the material when you toss and turn. When you tell your body it's time to sleep by controlling your environment, it makes it easier. Also, stress causes insomnia... maybe you're just stressed out so try and relax

Good tips indeed.
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

I'm sure everyone's different.

Nothing is more frustrating than getting up at 6am, running around on a mountain all day doing work, eating well, going to bed at 10,11pm, and lying there for a couple of hours unable to fall asleep. This was my schedule for a few weeks over one summer

Just watch WarCraft III VODs or a really long TvT. You'll sleep like a baby.

Rekrul's method works too, I'll testify, but it's not too good for your health if you get in a habit ^^

Either pull an all nighter and fix ur circadian rhythm or use sleeping pills or just start watching vods/reps of wc3 when you wanna go to sleep/.

Btw, I stay up usually till 3am and more often to 5 and 6/sunrise. Then I wake up at 12pm to go to work. Although my pattern is bad it's fine with me imo.

took the test on the other page
Your Results

Your score : 12

Based on your results, you may be at risk for mild to moderate insomnia. Although this degree of insomnia severity may not require immediate treatment, you should talk to your doctor about your sleep and continue monitoring these symptoms to check if they worsen over time. Your doctor is your best source for helping you combat health-related concerns, such as insomnia.


(28 is the highest score when u spam severe on everything)
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

This is so easy to solve. All you have to do is stay up all night and force yourself to stay awake the next day until about 23:00. You'll want to take a nap, but resist the urge and it will force you back into a normal sleep schedule.

I do this all the time to avoid jet lag and I'm well adjusted to the new sleep pattern after only 1 night. It works every time for me.

I've done this in the past. However, something I found is that you have to be very careful not to overshoot.

For example, if you are normally up 3pm-6am every day and want to do a normal schedule, then make sure you only continue to stay up past 6am until about 4-5 pm otherwise you might oversleep the following day ._.
