insomnia+caffine addiction? 2010-04-06 22:16:42 Reply

so anyways, i've developed insomnia. i can't seem get over it, and i just lay in bed at night for about 7 hours. this led to my caffine addiction. just to function at school, i started drinking two giant red bulls a day (one in the morning and one at lunch). i know it's bad for me, but i can't seem to stop.

how do i go about getting my sleep cycle back on track?

get over yourself, break the cycle once and lay off the caffeine-stuff. drink warm milk and do something relaxing before going to sleep, rub one out, etc.

Step one: when the sun is down, shut off your monitor, cell phone, tv, lights, ipod, etc.
Step two: exercise
Step three: read a book
Step four: pass out
Step five: don't have caffeine after 3-4 PM
Step six: drink more water during the course of your day
Step seven: try to be in bed by 9-10 every night

Pro tip: you can set your schedule in a matter of two weeks of consistent bed time/wake time. Once your schedule is set your body will find it easy to keep.

Im on kinda the same page, but its a little different. I can sleep, but its at erratic and bad times of the day, causing my appointments to be delayed or cancelled. This has happened for the past 3 weeks and is causing me alot of anger, when I miss meetings with friends or soccer club, I know how to fix it, but NG is so goddamn addictive.

The only time my sleep cycle gets messed up, is when I'm on breaks from school and can stay up as late as I want. Though I easily get back on track after the first restless night.
