Re: Not wanting to go to sleep
Still a problem for me, but used to be much worse 'til I decided to replace my "before going to bed" activities (usually mindless / fun / stimulating stuff like watching TV, surfing Internets, chatting with people) with much more boring / potentially "productive" stuff. Like to-do lists for the next day, or bills, or something. It has helped.
Guess this is pretty obvious, but the big killer for me was always TV. Cutting that out for the most part was pretty good choice imo. -Al

Re: Not wanting to go to sleep
[ QUOTE ]
Alright, a couple of things first... 1) I love sleeping. When I can sleep in, I love sleeping a long time. I love naps. Generally, I think sleeping rules. 2) I have no trouble falling asleep. I fall asleep great at night. I get on a plane, I can fall right asleep. I actually have trouble falling asleep when in bed w/ someone new, but that's a whole different topic. So, on to the main topic. It is often SUPER HARD for me to make myself go to sleep. Like, to actually get in bed. Now, once I do, no problems going to sleep. I usually read for half an hour, then quickly fall asleep. And I love it. But up until that point, I will do just about anything to keep from going to sleep. Surf the web. Watch crappy whatever on TV. Play Flash games. Chat w/ random people. Go through email. Read some blogs. Sometimes I will do this even when insanely tired. During the weekdays it's not that big a deal because I always have something in the morning and I can make myself go to sleep by a certain cutoff based on when I know I need to get up. But when I don't need to get up the next day, I will often waste a number of hours doing ridiculous crap at the tail end of my day that would be SO SO SO much better spent either sleeping or doing stuff earlier the next day. How many of you have this same problem? [/ QUOTE ] i have this problem as well, mostly with 2p2 at 2am when I have work the next day

The best thing to do to fall assleep when you can't is to find the most boring text book you have in your entire cabinet from school, and to sit down and read it while you are in your bed. Try an economics book. I guarentee you get so bored you fall assleep. I probably wont have a follow up post because NT! is going to ban me for the other thread i posted to flex his e-muscle. Take it easy El D. [/ QUOTE ]Falling asleep isn't the problem. Just going to bed is. I like to turn on history channel ftw puts me out quick.
