How to get to sleep?

[Az.]

does anyone have any techniques for getting to sleep easier?

like breathing techniques or....I dont know.....anything really lol

I smoke before bed everynight and this doesn't help anymore....which i think might be because I have been smoking in the day alot recently, which has built my tolerance up...

if I dont smoke in the day the "bedtime" spliff usually knocks me out for the night....but at the moment i'm finding it very hard to avoid smoking in the day...

Any Ideas anyone?

Thanks :)

Well, when I was little, my Mother told me to listen to the TV.

Something that knocks me out now is a lot of beer and/or liquor.

Forget everything, you need a clear head to fall asleep, but then you have to think about not thinking, and clearing your mind.
The harder you try to fall asleep, the longer it will take to achieve it.
There isn't really anything you can do, other than buying some sleeping pills. :D hope i helped!

[UpInSmoke]

that shit about not smoking until you go to bed does help a lot. I've found that if I wait until night fall to smoke I go out real quick. Ive also found that if I smoke at all during the day I have to smoke again in like a couple of hours, cuz once I smoke in tha day time my will power for holding off smoking is shot. But I have no problem if I get in tha habit of waiting til night fall. Plus you get a hell of a lot higher and youre conserving your weed...which always rocks. After tha first day of waiting til night fall to smoke, youll find your will power for the next day is a lot stronger, and its not such a big fight in your brain.."should I? no ill wait...but damnit i wanna get high" just think to yourself if i wait til night fall ill get higher than high....blah blah blah..thats enough I know....peace

Sing "jingle bells"...I don't know, half the time in bed I end up singing that in my head. That or thinking of shit I need to do. Or listening to someone breathe.

Haha! When I was little my mother had to tape quarters to my face to cover my eyes. She said I'd go right to sleep. Now, I stay awake all night and fall asleep in the early evening or so. So I guess I don't have a sleeping problem...just a whack-ass schedule.

[beachguy in thongs]

I think you're Mother was unconsciously teasing you that she has a job and earns coins and you don't.

[king kong bong]

turn on c-span and you'll be knocked out in no time.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Chloroform not an option?
Homer always has some handy!

Alcohol interferes with your REM periods...so I won't get a good nights sleep....and i dont really want to resort to alcohol to sleep....that would involve me drinking till I pass out everynight...lol....not a good idea...

UpInSmoke
thats true.....and what I have been doing but now I go round to my mates after college and they smoke alot so there is always a spliff bring passed round....

I dont have C-Span lol whatever that is....LOL


Maybe I should quit weeed for a little while?...Then I could save some money, lower my tolerance....but I wont slepp very well....ill smoke more ciggies....wont be able to get stoned...
hmmmmm

take a deep breath, and when you exhale, immagine your breating thru your whole body. and listin to headphones. smashing pumpkins or nirvana or pinkfloyd is good.

"Different town...doesn't matter. Different state..doesn't matter..different country..SURE AS FUCK DON'T MATTER"

My famous line from the summer.

Sleeping pills help, there's a lotta natural ones too if you don't wanna perscription.

[king kong bong]

I dont have C-Span lol whatever that is....LOL

just turn on whatever channel senate is havin a conference or some politician is talkin. it should do the trick.

[syrrus]

I normally focus on interesting unanswerable questions like "what does a one handed clap sound like", or I feel different parts of my body. It's very difficult to focus hard enough to feel parts of the body on demand. I then focus on feeling my environment around me with out looking at it. I go from the things on the floor with me...then I move on to things on the walls....things in the drawers.....etc... then finally I focus on thinking about breathing in and breathing out, when my mind starts to wonder I just snap back into in...out....once Im in a euphoric state then I slip into bed and go to sleep. It takes a long time to master but when you do, it's well worth it, it's like a high all by it's self.

That's why you balance it out with pep pills, and the become dependant on them to sleep and wake up lol :p

[BabyFacedAbortion]

Awww, all this love here. -gag- -wink-

I'll figure out what I was taking; it was weird..it was a hormone that made you tired when it was completely dark..which is odd..I was never drowsy in the morning either.

If you want perscription I used to fuck with Lunesta, a sleeping pill which doesn't make you drowsy and while most pills require 8 hours to sleep, this only needs 5. Never use ambien to sleep though, it's addictive and evil...nice trip tho! ;)

Ive read about that hormone that is released when you close your eyes that helps you to sleep.....and cannabis increases the production of it alot....dont know if that will benefit us or do more harm.....but cool thanks for the heads up :)

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Ahh that's ok then, i was beginning to wonder ;)

[syrrus]

ambien is pretty cool as a hemopathic hallucinagin, and I havn't really had issues so far with it. Everyone's body chemistry is different it's really just a matter of whats good for you.

[ScarlettCrush]

I downloaded some of those self hypnosis deep relaxation things from the net. They work all right, and they make me feel all new age. :smokin:
oh yeah, and I take a melatonin pill about an hour before bedtime, supposed to increase your rem sleep and all.

hahahaa
cool :)

you dont happen to know any site that i can aquire these such things from do you?

I think it might be melatonin that is released when you close your eyes....i think that might be what i read about the other day.....if so....cannabis increases your production of it....or maybe it was serotonin?

hmmmm

[420purplehaze420]

the almighty herb has always worked for me, i tired one of those retarded sleeping pill prescriptions and it only created more problems then it cured so i quit using them and bought a bag of weed and made a bucket the very next day

[NightProwler]

i heard of something called st.johns wort. i guess its supposed to help you sleep.

[BabyFacedAbortion]

melatonin, that's it!

Ambien is freaky; I saw Jesus on that..also almost ODed on it LOL!

I definitly wanna see that site, Scarlett!

[ScarlettCrush]

I just looked up self hypnosis on limewire and a bunch of audio files came up to download. (also try sleep as a search, and tantric for decent music and audiobooks on tantric sex) I got the melatonin from GNC!

[psychedelicmess]

st. john's wort is supposed to make you not be depressed.

valerian is supposed to make you go to sleep quicker, doesn't work for me, but i've heard some people love that shit. you can get it in teas.

[beachguy in thongs]

hahahaa

hmmmm

Your serotonin levels are unaffected. Melatonin goes up 4,000%.

Or is it serotonin when you close your eyes? Smoking weed doesn't affect serotonin levels.

Yeah i was lying in bed thinking about it and remembered that its brazil nuts the increase production of serotonin.....

this is true,its like sitting in a boring class at school,you just fall asleep

[Ganj]

I think you're Mother was unconsciously teasing you that she has a job and earns coins and you don't.
Oh the good 'ol days. Where I didn't have to work just to make enough money to be broke. Where my ass was wiped without question or effort and the entire universe revolved around me. I miss those days.

[HannabisTheCannabis]

This is easy.. You need to fool yourself... If you want to goto sleep then try to stay awake, Think about it if you want to stay up you probably fall out.... So try to put yourself in the frame of mind to stay awake...and waula....Your sleeping.

[Ghop]

Go to the health food store and get some meletonin. It will only work a few times as ur body will build up a quick tolorance but its better than not sleeping. After a few days just smoke a night bro.

[Reefer Rogue]

Smoke double the amount you're smoking and you will fall asleep easier. :stoned:

[dustoned]

st. john's wort is supposed to make you not be depressed.

valerian is supposed to make you go to sleep quicker, doesn't work for me, but i've heard some people love that shit. you can get it in teas.

it works. i took two st. john's every day for like a month and a half... my mood never fluctuated because i always had a bit of serotonin. i could always deal with heavy shit and just be like 'fuck...' and then just realize whats going on, realize how to fix it, and get on with shit. i got off of it, realized i didn't even need it, or any real MAOI's for that matter... and got on with my life.

[dustoned]

Try doing 8 hours hard labour a day trust me youll get a kip.

or ill be awake....ill try it though....

I'm not really into manual labour...im more of a using my brain not my body person....if you know what i mean....

[JetFoi34]

i too have trouble falling asleep - i used to try putting music on low - worked for a little bit - tv on low with the sleep timer on it works sometimes - when i try natural sleep i cant sleep - i think of everything and cant stop - smoking does help - but i dont want it to become a habit

[ScarlettCrush]

download some self hypnosis sleeping mp3's
burn to taste
play at night

you will sleep.

[lemonboy]

I have a 23 minute mp3 of white noise and a thunderstorm. I burn a couple of tracks of it to a CD and listen to it. It puts me out. If anyone knows a place I can post it for free I'll be glad to.

[Caruso329]

Put a bit of catnip and lavender springs inside your pillow. The scents from those are natural sleep-aids.

[Whos Carl]

Listen to Slipknot so loud that it bursts your ear drums thus causing you to lose a large amount of blood so you will collapse in a heap on the floor. Trouble with this plan is you may not wake up again.

[dustoned]

listening to slipknot that loud is scary. it makes your vision blurry.

[Synthesizer Man]

I have exactly the same problem. My mum says its anxiety.

5 years ago I used to have a cigarette before going to sleep, and it worked for a while. Then I got hooked. Trust me, my pattern is really messed up, sometimes I'm up all night, or all day, sometimes both, completely unable to get to sleep.

For a while having a spliff worked well, but that guy's right. Once I started smoking it during the day as well it wouldn't help me sleep at night. At all.

[jahjahjahjah]

it takes the average person 7 mins to fall asleep
