INSOMNIA

Non-Phish General

Substances. Insomnia is most often chemically induced. Your body is overproducing something that’s stimulating it, so all you have to do is counteract those chems with some of your own. I find wine does the trick for me, but if you’re really pumping, the typical medical solution is not depressants, but the opposite. They treat hyperactive kids with stimulants to “burn them out” so to speak.

How’s your eating habits? Have they changed at all over this period? If you don’t want to go the chemical route, try some basic yoga relaxation techniques. If your mind has to race, let it. Just don’t react to it because the reaction pumps out more stimulants into your body, and the cycle repeats itself.

If this doesn’t help, go back to Will’s method every half hour until you’re exhausted.

^Yes, sex yourself often and you shall sleep

#6

Valerian root. Buy some, it works.

#7

^ Valerian root has helped me in the past. Also any sort of long deep breathing/yoga/relaxation techniques… Learning to consciously relax your body and mind is a valuable skill.

2 words: da booze. I drank half a bottle of vodka last night and was out like a light at 12:00.

It’s not like I have problems sleeping, but if I did, problem solved.

#9

I agree with anyone who suggested cranking one out. Never fails. :stuck_out_tongue:

#10

^Yeah there’s no stopping a recently orgasmed male from falling immediately to sleep. I’ve actually seen a man go from “finish” to snoring in less than a minute.

#11

Damn, I knew I should have pulled those blinds down. How embarrassing.

#12

^^ How do you know he wasn’t faking and he just wanted to get some sleep?

:slight_smile:

#13

^ Honey, I wore him out! :slight_smile:

#14

well it’s 1:45pm and i woke up about a half hour ago. must’ve drifted off sometime around 7. so although my day is mostly wasted at least i got a few hours of sleep in, which is most important at this time.

yeah, i used to meditate regularly and got out of the habit. def valuable. will try the Valerian root as well.

hopefully i’ll snap out of this spell soon and get back to some semblance of normalcy…

thanks for all the good advice folks :wink: especially Will.

^^I’ve also seen recently orgasmed females go from finish to snoring in less than a minute :wink:

#16

I’ve seen recently orgasmed females go from finish to psycho in less than a minute.

#17

^that’s not normal?

#18

^ I take it you’ve never been brought to climax by Neil.

#19

^^for a girl any transition from anything to psycho is normal duder…

#20

^thank god. i thought i was living in an alternate, insomniac universe for a minute there.

^^well you know what they say about Neil: “Neil’s Needs, Not Yours”.

::runs out of post crying::

#21

If this weren’t so silly, I might be offended :slight_smile:

#22

^Oh wait…er…there’s real girls here…what i meant was…any transition from anything to psycho is normal for anyone…erm…people tend to get mad easily.

on a side note…maybe most girls just aren’t as cool as you?
