hello fellow chrome domes.....just wondering.... what do u fellow chrome domes do if u can not sleep? me... usually i sleep pretty good but on those rare occasions...after tossing & turning... i just get out of bed & visit the sly neighborhood (SBG Forum). as i heat up some water & drink some chamomile tea....it's a herbal tea that promotes relaxation & it tastes pretty good. i usually buy the TAZO or the KALAHARI brands.
so... how 'bout u? what do U guys/gals do if u cannot sleep?

I definitely visit the SBG forum, but also take a few benedryls. Then, maybe lay on the couch and watch some news. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz......

Funny you should post this up Warhawk.
The last couple of nights I have been having problems getting to sleep. It could be work thats been bustin my butt for months finally catching up, not really sure.
Anyway, last night I finally crashed about 2am then work calls me at 5am, I'm 24hr on call.
Usually I can read for a while and fall out, but hasn't worked for me this week.
Can't wait to see what the other Bro's do, I think I need some new ideas....
-
If I cannot sleep I will usually put on a movie or flick through the t.v and eventually I will drift off. Tea does work good as does listening to some music on the iPod or headphones.
Hoping on SBG is the exact OPPOSITE of what I will do for insomnia as I usually end up online for another 2-3 hours. ;D
-
usually go down stairs and either work or channel surf.
-
watch tv in my room, or browse the internet, or maybe play video games with the sound down, my ipod on my head. or just listen to music on my ipod.
-
Well I usually get off my shoulders what's wrong.... ike last night my blog that i talked about being a work zombie.
-
I will usually grab a beer and a book. I'm usually ready to pass out by the end of the beer.
-
Just got out of bed because i couldn't sleep and first thing i did was get on the forums...lol so thats one thing i do when i can't sleep. Other then that i will watch a movie, play a game, or search the web....something that requires a computer to do since everyone else is sleeping and don't want to wake them up. If i am in the mood for it i will read a book. Sometime i do this until it light out and then i end up falling asleep.
-
Read a book.
-
Reading something relaxing will help me. If I get online, I seem to be more jazzed up, so try to avoid it late at night. Sex of some sort can also do the trick.
-
i joined this forum oct. 30 2006. in the last year i have racked up over a month on here. i would have to say i get on SBG. hell that is why i am on here now.
-
I usually just lay there. I figure at least if my body can't get sleep it might get a little rest.
-
If it gets really bad, I take some Nyquil, then read till I drift off
-
Hmm.....what do I do when I can't sleep? Your looking at it. :*)) :*)) :*))
This or watch a flick.
-
Yep. Benedryl works for me. Tylenol PM (which is Tylenol and Benedryl) if I run out of Benedryl. And in case of emergency, NyQuil.
-
A shot or two of Captain Morgan with some Egg Nog does the trick for me :)

I took Benedryl once because of allergies. It worked, but the problem was that I went to Great America right after taking it. WOW! Talk about enhancing the effects of the ride. :o
-
A few different things, eat, watch PBS, drink a beer or get online if my computer still worked.
-
Amen!
I was thinking too medically.
A beer or two is the perfect sleep aid.
-
I do the same as KC, I usually just lay there, and eventually I conk back out.
But there are some nights that I think to myself; maybe I should check out the sbg's, see what's happening, but then I realize I would probably be on a lot longer than it would take me to fall back asleep, lol.
-
a beer or a scotch works well. I will drink chamomile tea on occasion, but it doesnt really work as well as the booze.
Reading or watching a movie I have seen before (if I find anything interesting on TV I will get drawn in and stay awake even longer).
-
I get up out of bed...put in a Sweatin to the Oldies DVD and do my workouts. LOL ;D ;D ;D
I feel a :x! coming along................
-

That would be my second choice. Those can lead to dependance/ tolerance(gotta take more over time to produce the same effect)
check this one out guys. Melatonin: wally world, Vitamin Shoppe, or GNC start with 3mg first 5 might knock you on you a$$. It's the chemical in the brain that induces sleep. Natural and not habit forming. Not groggy when you wake up. Not very effective though if you work nights and sleep days, since darkness triggers it's release in the brain. give it a try WH if this is an on going problem.
