Title: Sleepless nights
Post by: Metalxdelights on December 03, 2013, 11:24:37 PM
What do you usually do when you can't sleep? I've worked all day, I feel tired but I absolutely can't get to sleep. So I've managed to catalog some comics of mine, clean out a closet and sort laundry. Now on to drawing >_<

I have this problem quite often. Music usually helps though.

Me too...I usually just end up passing out and not remembering how I fell asleep :/  Music is wonderful, I seem to have playlists for just about everything.

i either listen to music until i pass out (usually works) or draw or 3D model anything that pops into my head. or read, reading can help, especially if its boring

I just plug in to a podcast or an mp3 of Eddie Izzard (my favorite comedian) and slowly turn down the volume..

A whiskey and coke works for me. Though I don't know if you're of age. Also watching a movie I've seen a hundred times like underworld and putting on the sleep timer helps

I listen to music, watch netflix, read, anything. Sometimes I'll go read Magic articles or research a deck I'm considering playing.

Sleep when you're dead.  Can't tell you how many nights I go with 2-4 hours of sleep.  Wake up, go to work and tank it out!

I enjoy all of my books, reading has never put me to bed. I put on a movie...Moneyball and I eventually fell asleep. ^_^

I'm 23 but I can't stomach whiskey....I'm more in to mixed drinks with vodka, wine or craft beers.

I used to have insomnia really bad back in my early 20's. I started working out before bed and that cured it. As long as I'm not to stressed I can goto sleep right away.

My work and school schedule changes so much I can never get myself on a good sleep schedule. So I get about 2-4 hours of good sleep per night.

You guys, "fap" doesn't work the same way for girls. Rofl!

A glass of wine really does work wonders though!

Lol one of my friends insists that she says fap because it's "bridging the gender gap now" or something? She jokes about fapping all the time though, I find it hilarious. xD

I never thought it would do anything until I actually tried it.  I guess I really don't know what to expect in life.

I wonder what I've been missing out on...
