I simply could not get to sleep last night. Finally, around 3:30, I decided to do something.
I had a three-year-old bottle of generic Ambien (the lowest dose) sitting around that I’d never used, so I took one out, cut it in half, and took it. I did eventually get to sleep but I just woke up and feel like I was roofied. “Refreshing sleep,” my ass.
Maybe try a white-noise generator to help you sleep? Recently I have used the free ones at http://www.simplynoise.com to help me relax and focus on studying.
People have been telling me for years I need to start meditating. They’re probably right.
My method is threefold
1) go to the bathroom
2) take two Tylenol to get rid of aches and pains
3) make sure the room is cool down to near 70 degrees
If all that is not working read a few pages of a Victorian novel.
The room temperature is quite important by the way because your body temperature has to go down to get to sleep. I learned this working the graveyard shift at the child shelter. The kids just would not get to sleep until the thermostat got down to 70 degrees.
I had the air on. It was plenty cold.
try the ativan next time.
