or maybe sleep less

you don't need 9 hours of sleep every night, lol?
no wonder you can't fall asleep, you're not tired -_-;

Easiest solution: Get a job which requires early wake up. After a while you'll be too tired to be awake too long.

Best: work out/ eat properly/ go out for a 30 min run in the morning and try to play a sport or go to the gym every day or once every two days.

My way: do something productive all the time you are awake (drawing, writing music, writing story, making something, painting something) you will tire yourself and even if you still aren't sleeping, at least you are getting good shit done.

Insomnia usually comes down to drugs, stress, or insufficient exercise.

If you regularly have trouble sleeping, you should not take anything with caffeine in the afternoon.

If you're on any kind of ADHD medication, most of that stuff is based on amphetamines, which are stimulants and can obviously cause trouble sleeping. So watch out for that.

Most people don't get enough exercise. The more you exercise, the better you'll sleep, and the less sleep you'll want or need.

i had frikin bad sleepin habits. back when i went to school ( 3 days ago :D) i use to read till 4 or something because i wasn't able to sleep. I would be really tired the next day so as soon as i got back from school i slept till 6. needless to say i wasn't tired at normal going to bed hours when u have school the next day, so it turned into a weird cycle of not sleeping well
made me grumpy as hell 2 :D

When I have trouble sleeping, I lay still and just count to myself:

"1, I am going to sleep, 2, I am going to sleep, 3, I am going to sleep," etc.
This helps me relax, and tends to help me. I hope it helps you, too. Insomnia sucks hard.

Try jacking off
if once doesn't work, try again
and again
and again

eventually you'll exhaust yourself.

warning: penis might hurt, so be gentle.

You might be thinking too much; a good idea to sort of 'clear' your mind is to pick a mantra word; something you'll just say in your mind repeatedly over and over and over.

Try to pick a word that beings with S, because they're easier to repeat.

Very good post by Smurg. I thought I could've written his whole post myself. I did practice lucid dreaming and used valerian roots, now I use melatonin.

Only one thing I would like to add. I used to also use the "think about nothing" thing, I kept repeating to myself "black, black, black, black" and try to visualize it, but it doesn't work as well as something else I was taught. It's a mantra. I use the one "ilaam" for no particular reason, just because it's easy to pronounce. The reason for this is that it will reduce/stop your thoughts better if there is two syllables instead of just one like "black".

too frequently is very bad. you need the recovery time. it'll deplete your reserves very fast and lead to even more sleep problems as well as depression, lack of focus, disruption of blood flow to the brain.

what the fuck you sleep way too much. why are you going to bed at 11?
try sleeping for 6 hours and excercising and you'll be fine.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Well I don't take ADHD medication
i though that's what I SHOULD get.

what are the similarities between amphetamines and methamphetamine?

EDIT: the meth one isn't used for ADHD treatment

both can help narcoleptics

only amphetamines treat people with ADHD

Just read an article, music actually can help a ton, especially after about 3 weeks. Relaxing tunes, try Sigur Ros, their album Takk.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

If you want to sleep, ADHD medication (amphetamines) will not help. They'll do the opposite..
