Although I don't claim insomnia I know what you mean about needing random thoughts in order to fall asleep. My boyfriend falls asleep in like 5 minutes but it takes me at least a half hour to fall asleep. |

I've actually had difficulty falling sleeping for a few years now. ill just lay there... and think and think and i try to turn my brain off but its difficult. strange thing is that once in a while ill fall asleep kind've quickly... but i notice its when my brain is already kind've jumbled. like ill lay down and rapidly start thinking disordered thoughts. |

i sometimes have trouble sleeping but not anymore since I started being more active on these forums. The way I go to sleep every night now is lying on my back with my arms to the side. This wasnt necessarily the most comfortable position, my favorite was always my side and so sometimes after a while I just move onto my side. but anyways, I also have trouble clearing my head because my imagination is really active and I don't really every stop thinking about things. So what I do is make my imagination focus on one thing thats pretty bland. Usually I would count sheep so i'd just imagine a sheep on a pinwheel spinning around and every time it hit the top i'd do one count. Now I just count backwards from 99 and picture the numbers as I go. It's also really important to control your breathing, so sometimes I count my breaths really slowly. And when these all fail, I just turn onto my side to get more comfortable and usually within a few minutes I just end up falling asleep. |

What? How does smoking weed make you fall asleep? Ofcourse it sometimes makes me tired, but I can't actually sleep until I'm not high. |

Well I do exercise... I'm on the gymnastics team at my university and we work out 4-5 days a week. |

Yeah, I sort of get that way as well. I wish I could help you out more. recently, I have tried reading before I try and sleep, but if anything - it has backfired... because it makes me think a lot more. my head goes into OVERDRIVE whilst I'm trying to get to sleep. it is ridiculous. sometimes I think that smothering myself with a pillow is the best option. |
