    Weekend Roundup: Insomnia is real. What do you guys do about it?

    Lately, it's been a bit difficult for me to fall a sleep. So, what do you do when that happens to you? Do you think about punting the next day to help you sleep? haha

    look up "brown noise" or "green noise" on youtube. essentially it is quiet sounds you play that keep your brain from thinking too much as u try and sleep. it did work for me.

    Think about a very long lineup of Milfs in a massage parlour.

    I usually fall asleep after counting the 30 or 40 women......

    Exercise.

    No caffeine after 2pm.

    Spending a little time after shower just to declutter the brain. Usually find something funny on YouTube helps, a good laugh is always good medicine.

    When going to sleep, don't over analyse, don't pre-empt the insomnia by wondering if it will happen again, just go to sleep. If need be, a little soft noise in the background to distract your mind.

    Close your eyes and imagine a boring game of tennis...

    If all that fails, melatonin.

    And yes, sometimes a good wank before bed will do the trick. So if you think about punting, that's probably going to exacerbate the problem if you don't release.

    Try showering at night - unhurriedly, before bed rather than in the morning. Sometimes works - not always.

    This normally occurs when you are thinking too much, so you need to clear your mind of any issues before you go to bed
    Also you need to learn how to leave all outside issues outside the house and not bring them home with you,

    Most of the time it is due to some underlying cause so you have to address it. Any thing which is stressing you, any activity which you stopped doing suddenly etc etc. It doesn't happens in one day, it builds up over time and you have to go back to that point and analyse the situation.
    Few years ago I suffered from this and it turned out that from being foodie for all my life, I went to extreme keto and loosing 15 kg in 4 months time so I was advised to include some of my fav food back in diet and gradually remove those.
    Worked for me, took 2-3 weeks to see the improvement.
    Melatonin can help temporarily, get it prescribed from your GP.
    Cheers!

    That's very interesting. It did feel like it was building up gradually and I'm getting less sleep everyday. Thanks.

    There is the 10-3-2-1 sleep rule. The catchy phrase is to help remember

    10 hours before bed no more caffeine
    3 hours before no more food
    2 hours before bed no more work
    1 hour before no more screen time

    It takes immense discipline to do above but the say that if you persevere for at least 21 days the system will become a burnt in habit.

    PS not eating 3 hours before bed is good for the gut too, I mean to keep trim.

    I would also say no alcohol 3 hours before bed too

    It is very tempting to wank in bed. I have such a repertoire of fantasies I can lose an hour or more. I find the orgasm rush can be stimulating and delay sleep even further.

    I like the idea of saving up my orgasm for my next root like some mbers do here. Takes samurai discipline for me to bottle it up even for a few days.

    I have been drinking a lot of coffee, maybe that is why too.

    No screen time is hard for me. I'm on youtube all the time haha.

    I like the gym idea. but since I'm so sleep deprived, I also feel low energy while working out.

    I've been prescribed melatonin and only take 1 tablet twice a week when needed on weekends when I can sleep in.

    Plus this powder works well at night.images%20(6).jpg

    Exercise.
    Take a vitamin D supplement during the day or get some sun exposure (melatonin production).
    Magnesium (nuts/seeds, wheat).
    Hot bath/shower before bed.
    Blue light filter.
    Get enough fiber in your diet (particularly water-soluble fibre) for better gut microbiome and melatonin production.
    Meditation/de-stress/breathing exercises.

    My man... One of the greatest trance / dance anthems out there. I still get goosebumps when that techno riff starts playing. Love that tune.

    This song and Silence by Delerium (Tiesto mix), incredible choons, bro!

    Just read up on the basics of meditation. When you cant sleep just practice it while lying there. You wont remember falling asleep. Totally works. I have a double shot espresso evety night around 8.30 or 9. So everyone is different. The exercise advice is good and also helps. But once you are awake and wired you need a technique.

    Wake up same time every morning. Early morning sunlight. Ideally exercise in sunlight (not too late in day), bedtime ritual, no screen time 2 h before bed, only go to bed when you’re sleepy, no watching TV in bed, don’t use phone when in bed, no caffeine or alcohol 4 hours before bed (chocolate contains caffeine), keep your routine. Good luck !
