I have a fucked up sleeping schedule. I'm used to dealing with this, my sleeping schedule has fluctuated all throughout my teen years. The reason I don't sleep well is because I just don't want to. I want to stay up all day and night doing what I do. There are times where I just have to sleep, though, and this is one of them. My girlfriend wants to see me early tomorrow and The Walking Dead comes on at 9, I don't want to be falling asleep on her or during my show.

I've been laying in bed for the past two hours, making a serious effort to fall asleep. I'm in complete silence and darkness, which I've always needed to sleep. When I close my eyes, my mind rushes with ideas -- excitement for tomorrow, for my girlfriend, Toribash, and just about anything else that makes me happy in my life. It makes me so excited that I can't sleep. I'm so full of energy -- yet my body feels tired and worn. I've tried to clear my head and concentrate on sleeping, but when I do, I only fall half asleep. I end up waking. Judging by past sleeping experiences, it seems the best way to fall asleep is to stay up so long that I can't stay awake any longer.

Can anybody suggest something for me, maybe based on experience? I know I could have googled this, but I feel more comfortable in asking people I know.

Hi Timmy you silly man. When will you join Viddah and I play Contagion. Oh right, we played Contagion, and I have three other copies. If you are willing to join the Mumble and talk with us, I will send you a copy.

PM me. Do not post on here asking for one. Thanks.

Aside from stealing your parents alcohol and falling asleep easily to a nice buzz, you may want to try meditating before you go bed. I recommend an Android/Apple app called 'Headspace'. It's a series of guided meditations. After you finish one of the sessions, you won't feel excited or nervous or anything. Then, as you go to sleep, keep concentrating on your breathing like the meditation app shows you. Just focus on your breath and if you get distracted by any thoughts, return to focusing on your breath.

As others have also suggested, a soft constant noise (like the whirring of a fan) will help you get to sleep as well. On top of that, being cool from the fan puts your body at a temperature more conducive to falling asleep, I've found.

Happy dreaming!
