How to fall into sleep then you don't want it?

I'll get this straight. I have some trouble in getting myself to sleep then i need it, but i don't want it.
Anyone could share his experience and methods in doing this fast and quicly without using drugs . Thanks in advance

Their are several "hacks" that can allow you to go to sleep.
Usually a person cannot sleep because their minds wont let them.
Do one or all of the following:
1) Read before you want to sleep. DO NOT do this in bed though. Find a comfy chair with minimal lighting. Too much light will stimulate you and keep you awake.

2) Write down the stuff you need to do in the morning or the next day.
This gives you a piece of mind and prevents the "I need to remember to do this" syndrome. This works suprisingly well.

3) Play some white noise in the background, preferably a fan (not necessarily pointed at you). Concentrate on the sound and it'll help clean out the constant buzzing of your mind.

Good luck and good night ;)

I take an herbal sleeping aid that seems to be working wonders. Most prescription drugs only serve to make me groggy and not keep me down.

It's a melatonin complex, should be readily available at any drug store or natural food store.

i too found that keeping a fan on works well, but if it gets to cold you may get nightmares >.<

"for a good nights sleep, leave the rest to Lunesta...."

warm water bottle works wonders for me. then again i live in an igloo anyway.

try doing some excercise before sleep. nothing too strenous but something that will tire you out.

i kinda try and trick myself into a dream state
think of something completely rediculous and try to relax and more often than not i will just nod off

god you need help to fall asleep
man i seaking help to keep me awake lol
if you got probleems just cut down your sleep time like if you normaal sleep for 8 hours cut it down to 6 this will defently help you :P

I find I sleep best when occupying my thoughts consciously as well - I can lie awake for hours if I just let them drift, but as it stands I just play out a scene or two in my head, and as the scene progresses I'll generally be out in minutes.

If you have a real sleeping disorder, of course, it'll be worth seeing someone about it instead of going on the net to get advise. :p

I don't think it is that serious. It happens to me sometimes, but then it does I usually manage to sleep only few hours per night, constantly waking up. This results in a 3-4 hour lenght days sleep after scholl :eek:

Thanks for all advises, i think i'll try some of then i have a rough night again ^^ Honsetly I hope one will be enough.

Melatonin is great. Its non addictive and puts you out in about 15 minutes. Though, I would suggest taking only half a dose the first time to see how it affects you. Hot chocolate also works wonders!

Vodka+++

Melatonin gives me weird dreams. I always wake up in the morning and think now that was an interesting adventure.

Even if you dont fly go get an aircraft manual. Start reading it and all the procedures. If that doesnt put you out fast nothing will.

LOL and this is a problem? Then again my bf banned me from taking anymore pain meds for my arm due to those weird dreams! ;)

I don't often remember my dreams, but after taking melatonin, I often find myself waking up in the morning and looking around wondering what the hell just happened.

I sleep d uring the day and im awake during the night, ive done this for 21 years and i need to find a job that i can benefit from with this kind of sleeping pattern.. lol too bad college doesnt have night classes.

Amen to that, Faceless.

It's why I failed out two years in a row. They just don't cater to vampires.

And you two live on your comps! Havent either of you heard of online classes? Self paced, on-demand classes. I have a couple of friends going back to college this way to work around their work schedule and they love it.

Moon tan ftw!

oI oI.. i dont live on my comp... I go for walks at midnight long 3 hour walks in the cold x_x to pass the time. Sometimes i go to house parties and whatnot, but the smoke usually kills me x_x Just cause im a vampire doesnt mean i live on the comp.. But it does mean I live off of other peoples bl... im hungry...

Actually, I am looking at them now. Viable option, really.

<slurp> Mmph? <swallow> Sorry, what?

if i want to sleep, i play Lineage 2, coz the grind is so boring............rly

just make sure when the alarm goes off, that you don't hit the snooze bar and stay in bed for one more snooze round

Stay up for 24 hours and you're set to sleep ;).

Turn on the golf channel (if you're in the US). Or some other channel with golf, or daytime dramas. And try to actually pay attention. You'll be asleep in minutes. Just don't be mad at me if you wake up thinking you're Tiger Woods. Or if you cheat on your BF/GF the next day with a 60 year old rich man/woman who wants to kill you for insurance money.

Ahahahaha (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/523487/how_to_put_a_chicken_to_sleep/) I wonder if this works on people... Any volunteers? :D
