Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted May 15, 2003 Takes me like an hour to fall asleep. Does that count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amur 0 Posted May 15, 2003 No I don't, but sometimes it does take me quite a while to go to sleep. I find that the 'sheep jumping over a fence' doesn't really help me, but if you are having trouble going to sleep, just make up stories in your head and don't think about the fact you are trying to sleep :o just a bit of advice to anyone that is having trouble getting to sleep I hope it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekbabe 0 Posted May 15, 2003 I find it very difficult to sleep, that's why i watch so much Trek. It usually relaxes me enough to eventually fall asleep.... still it was about 5 a. m this morning when i finally dropped off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ktrek Posted May 15, 2003 There have been studies that show that people who spend time on computers right up to bed time have a hard time falling asleep because their brains are too active. You might try making a rule to turn off the PC one hour before bedtime and read a book, do your laundry, pray, listen to classical music or many other relaxing things before bedtime. Also, do not watch TV in bed. This is an awful place for a TV. The bedroom should be a place where you go to bed or make love but nothing else. There have been extensive studies on this as well and many doctors recommend this as one of the first changes. One of the things that has had the most signigicant effect on my sleeping patterns was not watching the late news. In fact the less news and negative input I have the better I sleep. Hope these thoughts help! Ktrek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TransporterMalfunction 1 Posted May 15, 2003 yeh it takes me an hour to get to sleep. i find that i think too much and it makes me kinda hypo. I find that I will often think about disturbing things before I go to sleep, like what it would feel like when I die, if there is an afterlife and what it might feel like.

Chataeya 0 Posted May 15, 2003 :) I sleep during the day and I am up all night. What do you call that? Just know that I was born at 11:55 PM daylight savings time. I was told that I was a night owl. Just wish I could sleep when I need to I guess! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsbs 0 Posted May 18, 2003 It takes me hours to get to sleep...Watching TV? Doesn't help Reading doesn't either, because instead of making me tired, I HAVE to read to the end of the chapter. Ooops, didnt realize I finished the chapter. May as well read the next one and then I'll go to bed. Oh I'm so close I may as well finish the book. And it's 4 in the morning...

jdigs 0 Posted May 28, 2003 I can't fall asleep unless I read. I've tried many times in the past, but after years and years of reading before bed it's just stuck. Makes me wonder when/if I have kids weither or not I will be able to read to them without zonking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeybear 0 Posted May 28, 2003 out of all the bad problems the human body can have, i think narcolepsy would light-fare - okay, maybe not when driving, but i would love to have the excuse for some of the times i've conked out (extra-curricular NOT included) - lquid, are there any funny stories you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lquidgrl 0 Posted May 28, 2003 Yeah there are some funny stories, for sure, I fell asleep with my head out a car window once, I was trying to get some air, i felt like I was going to pass out and go nitey nite and I thought a little blast of cool fresh air may help, so I opende the window all the way and leaned my head out the window, basically my head was parralell with the mirrior. I slept like that for awhile before anyone noticed. It can be kinda funny, but it can be embarrassing and annoying too. good thing I laugh at myself more then I get annoyed with myself :) Bieng in cars makes me sleep, so its hard to drive, so that is kinda B) and if you make me laugh too hard or too angry i lose muscle strength...have to sit, its called cataplexy, ummmmm I guess there is more to narcolpesy then just bieng tired, like sleep paralysis. I wake up sometimes and my mind will wake up before my body. So I cant move at all, I cant even open my eyes. But mentally I am fully awake. Freaky! I thought I was having Out of body expieriences! LOL. Sometimes I dream and I thought it really happened. Maybe thats why I relate to things that are "far out",in a sense I am "far out" too. All Narcolepsy is, is when you stay in dream state too long and you suffer from sleep deprivation. Weird things happen to those who suffer from sleep deprivation. You Insomniacs can relate to That!! :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeybear 0 Posted May 28, 2003 catoplexy - that is SO weird!!! - banana, i never knew!!! - so much for cool, although the thought of you drooling, head lolling out a car window got me some strange looks (GUFFAW!) - did you ever see Duce Bigalow? - okay, maybe that was uncalled for, but i was just asking...

Tank 0 Posted May 28, 2003 I think I'm both an insomniac and a narcoleptic. Sometimes I'll go over 40 hours not being able to sleep at all and then other times even after a good nights rest I'll simply fall asleep in the middle of doing things. All things. I've fallen asleep driving, reading, talking, playing guitar, working, and even making out. I've never been to a doctor however so as far as I know the only official sleeping disorder I have is startrekfans.net syndrom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
