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 08:37 pm (UTC)And on a sleeping note... I recently discovered the serious good points of, well, sleep. After one of those deadline overnighters, my brain was dead. I wanted to draw something because I had just a bit of free time... but head. dead. One sleep later I went for a short walk and blam! Ideas were pouring out like...er... something liquid.
As to how to sleep... a good hot shower always does it for me. You feel warm, clean, and you MAY feel rejuvinated for a couple of minutes, but trust me, twenty minutes later you are snoring.
Well, at least it works for me/
