themeletorso, it's that time of morning again, when Mel rolls around for the last time, jumps crankily out of bed, screams: "FUCKING HELL!", braids her hair in pigtails, and gives up on sleeping... yet again.
really, I'm getting so sick of this.
I've learned the hard way that, despite what I might insist, I just do not function at full capacity once I've been up and around for more than 18, 20 hours solid. my brain gets gummy. as well it should. and yanno what, I have THINGS TO DO today. spring cleaning. anthro ... thingy. rereading Beowulf so I'm not dredging my backbrain during class. reading that STUPID "family systems" book mum's been on my ass about, and also doing laundry. so, skipping the "full night's sleep" part of my schedule? NOT COOL SHIT, KIDS. NOT COOL AT ALL. grr.
so ok though. while it probably won't help me this morning or LAST NIGHT, ffr I'd like to know what, if anything, you guys and dolls do to lose consciousness once your head's hit the pillow. the only thing I've got for certain, for myself, is that red meat puts me out like a light, but yeah I really don't want to be chowing down on some manner of beef ... um, ever, much less right before bed.it does work, though. I know ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tyrstains (at least I think it was tyrstains; I could be wrong; I don't exactly trust my memory right now) mentioned something about how people who exercise regularly tend to fall asleep more quickly. that's good; that's another thing to push me toward daily workouts which I also need to do because I SUCK. anyway. since I am >THIS< close to just going and getting a scrip for sleeping pills, and I don't want to do that because I'm on enough schedule 2 drugs already, uh. where was I? oh.
anyone got any 'tricks of the trade' for getting to sleep? because man, I'm willing to try just about anything right now. except that beef thing, because that's just nasty.
yeah.

Date: 2006-03-24 07:48 am (UTC)The main thing for me is for my body & brain to be equally tired, so I always have to make sure I do a reasonable amount of exercise during the day (proportionatly to what I eat) and that I use my brain actively - often done by reading something non-fiction in the evening.
You knew all that already though didn't you.
I don't know what else. Clearing my head of all the crap that's swooshing round in it is a fair priority for me the last few days. Anything I want to say to people, I write it down then the next day I can choose whether I show it them or not, but I don't have to remember what it was...
Bah. Kinda pointless & useless comment this was, eh?
*hugs*
