On speed, can't sleep! Anybody got some stories?!


Question:

On speed, can't sleep! Anybody got some stories?

Sorry, I'm not trolling! It's prescription speed, and I'm slowly upping the dose, and well... yeah, today I think I hit my limit. So now I'm rolling.

Anybody got some speed stories? Or any stories? I'm just boucing off the walls here...

Thanks :)

Answers:

when you decide its time to get some sleep, please don't take more drugs to fix your insomnia. Too many people have ended their lives too young because they take tablets to be awake and then take more tablets to wind down and get to sleep.... please use natural sleep aids instead. I have some tips to help you when the time is right.

Instant fixes:

If all else fails and you are still awake in the dead of night, try some or all, of these quick insomnia cures:

• Lie on your back with your knees propped up on a small pillow
• Sleep with your head pointing in the direction North
• Get up the same time every morning and go to bed at the same time every night for a week
• Visualize yourself in a peaceful place, such as a field full of wildflowers with a gentle breeze blowing, or near a gently flowing stream where you can see fish swimming past you.
• Visualize a boring scenario, such as a lecture you have no interest in
• Read out loud the names and numbers from the phone book
• Reserve your bedroom and the bed as a place for sleep only
• Wiggle your toes gently until you fall asleep
• Rub your stomach lightly
• Cut up a mild onion, place in a jar by the bed and sniff before retiring.
• Think of ten wonderful things that have happened to you today
• Squeeze all your muscles together tightly for a few minutes and then relax.
• Threaten yourself that “If I am not asleep within the next 10 minutes, I will get up and…” clean the oven, or clean the fridge….whatever you really hate doing… When your brain knows you really mean it - this will scare you to sleep to avoid a nasty chore!


Avoid these sleep deterrents:

• Drinking excessive alcohol
• Smoking cigarettes
• Drinking caffeine
• Taking long naps in the afternoon
• Watching disturbing films prior to bed
• Reading mentally stimulating books prior to bed
• Playing video games
• Listening to fast paced or loud, stimulating music.

There are hundreds of natural ways to get better sleep, I was a chronic insomniac, but have researched some really great home remedies for better sleep....
