Hey, anyone mind sharing different any tricks they have for getting to sleep? Especially if you've been having a tough time with it.

Thanks in advanced.

I find a warm shower is very calming. It makes it easier to fall asleep.

[wilder]

Warm shower huh? Like right before bed?

[luxe_can_kill]

Yes.

That filter forever

[whichwayyoulean]

A cup of warm milk, I guess. Or warm milk with a shot of bourbon in it, depending on your age and alcohol tolerance.

and ever

[Must...resist crack...and stay anonymous]

Tried it both ways, it didn't work.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Suffeerrrrr]

Huh. Well, I guess there are sleep drugs? You could probably find some in the clinic.

[i_got_this]

Bottle of tequila. I'm usually out by the fifth or sixth shot.

[wilder]

I tried drinking myself asleep already. Didn't work.

[i_got_this]

Huh. Maybe try working out or something? Get yorself all exhausted?

[toobravehearted]

[...] I can't believe I'm about to say this... Tea. Sweet tea.

[wilder]

Tea huh?

Someone made me some and it worked, but when I tried to replicate it- it didn't work.

Then again I'm not really a tea making expert.

[He puts a filter on this because he doesn't want certain people teasing him for cuddling. You know, like... Zelos.

Also he almost can't believe he's suggesting this but it seems like most of the other stuff people are suggesting isn't working so welp.]

... have you tried sleeping with someone? I mean, y'know, just.. sleeping next to them in bed. If there's someone you'd be comfortable doing that with.

[Oh dear goddess Tsuna. Zelos has tried very hard to keep up the anonymous, even if so far none of the answers seemed like anything that would work. ]

[This answer? He even TRIES to write anonymously, there's even the pen markings with the starting to levels- but the wtfery gets so high he can't HELP but talk]

- What?! Have you been sleeping with people, Tsuna!?

[Oops]

Hmm...

Relaxing music or noises is supposed to help. I've heard exercising before bed helps as well.

Personally I prefer to count backwards while breathing deeply.

[wilder]

How far back do you usually have to count?

[socovert]

I always either focus on something really important, like stuff for work, until I tire my brain out and fall asleep, or I pour myself a few glasses of wine.

[wilder]

Really? Doesn't focusing on problems like work stuff make it even harder to sleep usually?

[encryptedlock]

This might sound stupid, but some kind of white noise rather than dead silence. Like--rain or traffic or music that you know so well you could sing it in your sleep. Even static off the radio.

Filter

[wilder]

I'd try that, but most of that stuff just tends to hurt my ears more than soothes.

[There's a smiley face being drawn into the journal by a hand that looks very unused to writing anything.

There IS an answer, Zelos... if you want to believe.]

[wilder]

[OMG HIS NEW BEST FRIEND except a smiley face what]

Huh?
