What Do You Do When You Cannot Fall Asleep?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia 4 years ago

Hello, my dear friends.

It is now 4:21 in the morning, but I am still unable to fall asleep. I think that it is because of my long afternoon nap from two till six. I went to bed at around one in the morning, but I could not fall asleep and then I got up to mylot for a little while. I am afraid that I will be exhausted tomorrow morning because of not having enough time to sleep during the night. I think that I will have to lie in bed again to try my luck.

What do you usually do when you cannot fall asleep at night?

Or have you ever had the same experience as I have had?

Thanks for your response in advance.

Love from williamjisir

you are better off than me. At least you had the nap. When I get on mylot at that time I have had no nap. So it'll be extra coffee for me.


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia  4 years ago

Hello dear ersmommy. Yes, I have to agree that I had the nap. But a long nap will usually spoil my night sleep. Next time I must remember not to sleep that long during the afternoon nap. Thanks and good night, oh, no, good morning to you and have a good day, my dear friend.

I dont usually take a nap in the afternoons and for the past three weeks I didt have a really good night sleep. I have been disturbed with many things lately and keep thinking of this person, well I just try to close my eyes and try to sleep and then without my knowing I was able to fight and and got my needed sleep.

I have lost a few pounds because of this sleeples and Im not enjoying it, hoping it will come to an end and stop thinking.

Have a nice day and take care!


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia  4 years ago

Hello dear zelmarq. If we are active in thinking about someone or something, it will be really hard for us to fall asleep unless we do not think anything once we lie on bed. Yeah, sleepless nights make us unable to enjoy our sleep and make us lose weight in a negative way, which is not what we expect. I hope that you are now having a good night sleep without being bothered by active thinking. Take care.

I also sleep late but its my habit since my studying days. Before i used to study a lot to perform well in exams but now i dont study too much. Because i am no more a student. But my habit is still the same. So some time i play games ,read novels, watch movies. But since last month i am more into my lot and i love to do it .


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia  4 years ago

Hello dear hotranger. I see that a habit is usually developed from a long time ago, but still it is better to sleep earlier at night. Now it is 5:08a.m in my part. I am afraid that I will not have a good sleep during the early morning because people are getting up in another hour, making morning noise. I hope that I will be able to sleep like a log. lol

Hello dear williamjisir
How about a nice calming cup of tea? No good?
Or some nice yogurt or an applesauce.
Maybe some nice warm drink and lay in bed and let your mind drift to the ocean and maybe you could listen to the waves peacefully flowing to the shore.
Or imagine the steady sound of the rain in the night.
You should get a cd to listen to or you could get a nice waterfall type of ornament ..would these help you?
Or count from your toes to your head each body part and slowly fall asleep.
Or you can think of very nice memories?
xoxo Hope this helpshappy


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia  4 years ago

Hello dear friend. It is so nice of you to have this wonderful advice, so romantic a way to fall asleep. I just had a pack of instant rice noodle and now I am getting a little sleepy. I will try to go to bed with all of those wonderful things in the mind, feeling so good to fall asleep till hours later. What is lucky for me is that I do not have to go to work. So I will try to sleep as long as possible till nine in the morning in the hope that I will not be waken up by noise outside, especially those birds outside chirping next to my windows. Thanks so much.


myLot reputation of 95/100. TheHairDresser (3350)  4 years ago

You are so very welcome william and I hope the birds do shutup LOL and you know it is probably because you have a day off and you want to enjoy. Sleep now dear friend..beddy bys hahah xo

Hi there WilliamjisirhappyI have those kinds of nights once in a while, and when I do I get up to the computer to work or mylot until I get sleepy enough to go to sleep. Some nights I am up until 4 or 5 in the morning and can't go to sleep.. but last night I went to sleep at 9:30 at night and woke up at 6:30 this morning.. now I bet my cycle will get all crazy again.cry


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia  4 years ago

Hello dear friend. I am happy to know that you had enough sleep last night from nine thirty to six thirty. But to me, whenever I go to sleep at night, I would always wake up at six or six thirty, even when the next day is my day off. So I always try to go to sleep before twelve so that I could have around six hours' sleep.

It is really very annoying when you find youself so hard to fall asleep. Next time I will try not to take such a long nap in the afternoon. This morning I do not feel so energetic as I used to because of lack of enough sleeping hours.

Don't worry!If you really can't fall asleep just go on doing the things you like.I also can't fall asleep and so I get up either.But I feel there is no wrong with me,in the other hand I just feel good.


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia  4 years ago

Hello dear lsw. Yeah, that is why I got up and still went on to mylot with my friends till five in the morning before I went to bed again. I did not have a good sleep last night. I slept only three hours long as daytime finds me hard to sleep long with noise outside. Here I am again to say Good Morning to you. I guess that you might be sleeping now or working. Thanks a lot, my dear friend.

One thing I do is read, it usually makes me drowsy if I read by only a small electric candle's light, which isn't very much at all. If you really aren't sleepy and are just laying there it's best to get up, turn on lights and do something for a bit and then go to bed again, that way you don't develop a mental block that lasts for days of insomnia. Chamomile tea is also a great option before bed if you need some help relaxing, it's very soothing.

I'd say you would be better off trying to avoid future naps like that, I've read it's recommended not to nap for more than 20-30 minutes because after that you enter a deeper sleep which is what leads to not being able to fall asleep at night. 20-30 minutes is usually enough to refresh you for a few hours though.


myLot reputation of 98/100. williamjisir (14130)   ranked 3 out of 538 in insomnia  4 years ago

Hello dear DelicateFlower. Yeah, that is why I got up again to mylot so that I would be able to feel drowsy in the end to help fall asleep. You are right that I should avoid future naps like that because I had such experience before, but a nap around an hour or within does not make me unable to sleep at night. I need to bear in mind your tips with thanks.

Hello my friend williamjisir Ji,
There is a old saying our side, 'AFTER LUNCH SLEEP A WHILE, AND AFTER DINNER WALK A MILE'. Almost, since my memory, I have not changed my routine, my body has become like a machine, here is my routine :
a--getting up at 0400 hrs
b-after completing morning work, get in touch with internet (mails/writing etc)--upto 0700 hrs.
c- take a cup of tea and go for 3-4 km walk, return by 8 AM
d- News papers/TV news, gardening upto 0900 hrs.
e- bath /Puja/B'fast upto 1000 hrs.
f-house-hold work/computer/cooking (it is my hobby)-1300hrs
g-TV watching/Lunch-uptp 1400hrs
d-Afternoon nap upto 1500 hrs
f- Computer writing/chatting with family members-upto 1700
g-Tea at 1700 hrs-go far evening walk with grand-children
h- Retuen at 1900-take some soup
J- Dinner at 2100 hrs
K-Retire to bed by 22 hrs-and sleep will come by 2230 hrs.
Remember- wash your feet, relax and lie down keeping your head clear from all worries, prey Almighty, and think what time 'I have to get up.
It is very, very rare, when I do not get sleep. I sleep fast and dead, but my sleep is like Dog, if my wife turns on any side, I can make out.
Be determined. I am a retiree and not responsible to any one. All are responsible to me.
have a nice time. Sleep is very important for good health.

Hello dear chintoo Ji. I appreciate your nice daily schedule, so well-organized a schedule. It shows that you have a very healthy lifestyle and it is a good example to me. I will try my best to make my life more regular during my days off. Yeah, a good health is everything, without which nothing is reachable. Thank you, my dear friend.


myLot reputation of 91/100. arcidy (4974)  4 years ago

Well I have those days where I cant fall asleep way to much. Last weekend I couldnt sleep because it was to hot and I cant sleep when its to hot. So I just played videogames normally I would be on the internet searching for stuff but my internet wasnt working so I just played grand theft auto 4 all night long till I was just to tired and had to fall asleep.


myLot reputation of 90/100. chintoo07 (3199)  4 years ago

Hello my friend williamjisir and arcidy Ji,
Thanks for positive way of thinking. We should never get worried. To face challanges I have further more few things in my store, if any one practices at least one out of followings, one will lead a peaceful life. I request you to go throuigh at least once. Have a nice time.

S A T S A N G
If one can practice/implement any of the following, one will owe the whole world, free from all worldly bickering: -

(A) ”If You Can balance / stable your mind, when they are otherwise around you and at the same time blaming you”.

(b) “If you have belief on yourself, when others have doubt on you and at the sane time you strongly oppose their belief of their doubt”

(c) “If you can wait for Good / Bad days embark and you do not loose patience/get disheartened of waiting”.

(d) “Everyone is deceiving you and you are not”.

(e) “ Every body hates you and you do not, at the same time, you are not proud to be ‘good’ and ‘wise’.

(f) “ If you Can dream, but do not allow them to overpower you, and you Can ‘think’ but at the same time, do not live into dreams of ‘thinking”.

(g) “If you can welcome ‘gains’ and ‘defeat’ with open hearts and they do not unbalance your mind”.

(h) “If you Can accept your own words in twisted/mutilated /distorted form happily by ‘fools’ and they do not
involve you in their bad plans”.

(i) “ If you can bear, the items made by you ‘raised to ashes, for which you took whole life to build them , and at the same time you can once again order your tired hands to restart making”.

(j) “ If you can take one chance to reduce your gains in your life, ‘loose’ or ‘gain’

(k) “If you can, after loosing every bit in your life, get ready fresh to obtain the same with total energy from all corners of your body and mind, without uttering a word even”.


(l) “ If you Can compel your heart, mind and limbs, when they ARE so tired and refuse to accept any thing, except that your ‘belief’ and ‘desire’ to order them that they have to march forward and not falling back”.

(m) “ If you can roam in crowds, but do not allow your ‘thoughts’ and’abilities’ to wander stray, and you live with emperor, but do not neglect common man “.

(n) “ If you ARE unharmed by people loving you and people hating you”.

(o) “ I you Can respect everybody within the limits, at the same time nobody”.

(p) “ IF YOU REMEMBER THE UNEXQUSED MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE, AND EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE SAME”.

Then, the whole world belongs to you only and every thing that exists on this, at the same time you fall under the category of ‘ACTUAL INSAN’, which is greatest achievement in the life than any thing else”.

(OM)
