I am sure that we would all be delighted to learn about anything that you can do properly.

And I'm sure a knobend like you is not really in a position to speak for anyone else.

Chassumi,

Some of this has been revealed, but please:

No TV, tablet, phone or PC screens an hour before bedtime. They fuck it all up.

If you're a deep thinker, I'd consider some guided meditations (audio)
Set that up in a way that you do NOT have to deal with the screen, of course.

Also, consider what you've eaten last.

We're all conditioned to certain things. Warm milk helps me fall asleep.

No offense STS, but why in the fook does everyone say this when it's as far from the truth as could be?

I'm in the heart of Saudi and there's enough bloody alcohol (manufactured and home made) to fuel Nana plaza for a month(!)

I have one or two coffees first thing.

A specialist told me more than 40 minutes but no longer than an hour.

Works like a charm, and in fact I can powernap and wake up after about 45 minutes without an alarm clock these days.

Get thee to Bahrain and fill a sack up with alcohol.

Not a problem in my sand pit. Titter

Don't do recreational stuff apart from the odd Nigerian lager at weekends. I do read or watch TV downloads in bed. It takes me 3 nights to watch a one hour episode, 20 minutes and I'm nodding off.
The early morning call to prayer sometimes wakes me if the wind is in the wrong direction.

love juice.

A good shag works.

Good god this been way over complicated. A few hours before bed start necking lagers follow that up with a few shots of whiskey. You will be out in no time and will sleep the whole night through. Your welcome.

Alcoholism + passing out = horrible sleep

Why not in the week? Are you having siestas at work? A good boot up the arse would sort you out, you lazy fukker

Keep yourself busy when you feel like snoozing, when ready for sleep, smoke a doobie and have a great nights sleep.

Never said to pop some pills but yeah I would say that a slight pill addiction would be preferable to alcoholism.

Only weak and feeble minded people become alcoholics. I like a drink. Taking pills is idiotic.

Some of the stupidest logic I've read today.

How in the actual fuck is 'a few drinks' any different than, say, popping a xanax before bed?

Its literally not any different by any stretch, and you can circumvent liver failure in the process.

Christ on a bike some of you knuckleheads are stone cold retards.

I am a perfectly balanced individual who drinks only things he likes the taste of. I have no need to take tablets as I have a healthy mind and body. Only people who are not in control of their minds and bodies take drugs in order to sleep. It's all quite simple, really.

Those who cannot sleep have probably not exercised in the daytime. I have no sympathy for lazy people and am glad that they toss and turn all night. They need to get off their arses and do some work.

You, sir, are a fucking idiot and shouldn't be making any attempt, however feeble and retarded, to give advice.

Please, do fuck off and go fist yourself.

Thank you for your measured response. Now, go to sleep if you can, you lazy sod !

Total opposite for me, I find it makes me sleep fitfully and spikes my energy levels at random points during the night.

Good food and company helps me- I seem to sleep better if I have been socializing and out and about. I'm odd!
