What do you do to get to sleep?

[DawnStar]

Okay, sooooo... I work third shift. I sleep between 7am and 3pm. WHY ART THOU AWAKEST, DAWN?! Anyways, I've fapped, walked, took a shower, listened to music, read... everything I can think of. I can't fall asleep though. I think it's nerves. What do yall do to fall asleep? O_o

Re: What do you do to get to sleep?

I guess the most important thing is to avoid worrying about how much sleep you're not getting. I used to look at the clock every night and worry 'I have to wake up in seven hours...six...five...' That just keeps you up longer.

Usually I just think about stuff-picturing stories, landscapes, stuff like that. That tends to lead to some crazy dreams though. I guess it helps if you're in a quiet place-not possible for me since my bed's right next to the very thin bathroom wall and I get to hear my parents doing their business all night. Try sleeping in a few places, maybe?

But not too quiet, because then I can hear the pounding of my heart and that keeps me up longer. I'm not sure what would help with that.

You can tell I worry about this a lot, eh? Hope someone else has a better answer.

Do you fap while listening to your parents?

Heh, no. That kind of stimulation would just keep me up longer.

I should probably get some more insulation for that wall or move the bed.

I love you

Fapping helps when I have trouble sleeping, which isn't often... fapping is sort of unfulfilling lately... >_>

YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT! Fapping is always fulfilling for me! Of course, I'd much rather have someone's large pulsing member *edited so as to not scare the young children*

Re: What do you do to get to sleep?

i think of a white room with nothing in it. and if my mind wanders, i make it go back to the white room.
that usually helps.

i used to get severe panic attacks before bed and i needed to think of that white room to help me. sometimes when that didn't work, i'd put on the shopping channel reeeally low and fall asleep with the tv on.

Stay up until i pass out. My mind can wander for hours if i let it. That tends to happen if ive had a rough day or if i feel like something did go as good as i wanted.
Unless ive had a good day then I can just get comfortable and fall asleep.

Re: What do you do to get to sleep?

Do you do that shift on a regular basis, or does your shifts change ? That can have an effect.
Sexual gratification releases endorphins, which can help send you to sleep IMHO. (Sorry - I can't say 'fap' - it's too American)

But this is a serious matter, especially if you're out driving a car when you're sleep deprived. You maybe should see a doctor. I know you guys can get Melatonin tablets in the US, I found they were excellent (but we can't get them any more here) They re-program your body clock.

Re: What do you do to get to sleep?

Well, I work 7 days a week on the night shift. I've been doing this for about 3 months, so I don't think I even HAVE an internal clock anymore XD

And I fap before I go to sleep cause I'm under a lot of stress, and fapping relieves the stress for a brief period and allows me to fall asleep. Otherwise, I sit up thinking about stuff.

We can get melatonin here too! My ex's nephew used to take them cause he had ADHD and couldn't sleep. I don't really have a problem sleeping... I guess it a combination of the hours I work, plus not getting a day off, plus living in a house with 4 other people who aren't very courteous to us day sleepers. So all three of those together can really, REALLY get you down. It's gotten to the point where even if I slept for 24 hours I'd still feel tired.

But all is not lost! I spoke with my manager, and explained that I just couldn't handle doing this anymore, and I'm gonna start getting a day off! Just thinking about it has me perked up! Here lately, I've basically been zombie-like. I can't think properly, I haven't been persuing my talents, like playing music and stuff. I've just been exhausted. So hopefully I'll be back in action ^_^

But you can say 'masturbation', right?
What about other slang?

Flicking the bean?
Polishing the magic lamp?
Clam-digging?
Trawling the open C?
Doing the fish slapping dance?

Re: What do you do to get to sleep?

'fap' is american? I thought it was international internets speech.

Anyway, real men just K.O. themselves by smashing their heads against a wall or bedpost or similar.
