The Late Night Dilemma

TequilaClock · January 10, 2009, 05:08:09 AM

I have serious problems with my sleep schedule as I get up around 2pm.

The solution is obvious, go to bed early, however my mind is much more creative, concentrated and flowing when its late at night. It is all silent and to be just listening to the tap of the keyboard and the squeak of the chair makes me think of things. Even at bed. I can't sleep because I can't stop thinking, analyzing and making myself questions that no one maybe cares about.

Its 3:07am already and I still feel like doing things but I GOTTA be at bed in order to prepare for incoming Monday.

Decisions.

Go on an amphetamine bender for like four or five days.

Benadryl always helps me go to sleep when I need it.

You'll also develop a love for Hendrix. Win/win.

One thing I like to do, is listen to a few chapters of an audiobook via mp3 player... It's relaxing, gets my mind out of uber-creative mode, and I can listen while in bed with the lights off...

I simply cannot fall asleep while watching a movie or listening to something like that. So I have to pause it before going to sleep, but it still gives me something non-creative to thing about as I drift off.

Also, exurcise helps tremendously.

I rarely sleep more than 4.5 hours a night, and then I sleep 12+ hours friday night... it's my typical cycle. It's not very balanced, but it seems to work. I have much worse insomnia if I have any caffeine/ginseng in my system, as it brings out the creative side of my brain...

I actually just finished my last audiobook... If anyone has a good suggestion for a book I'm all ears.

Weed is the best cure for insomnia, though if you don't want to go for illegal stuff, ask your doctor for Melatonine. It's something your brain makes, but some people lack it, it's a win-win thing too because it's not the kind of sleeping pill that turns you into a zombie, you're actually more energetic during the day because of it. Waking up becomes easier too. Been taking it ever since I found out you can pretty much get it all the time if your doctor agrees that you look like shit and like you could need some sleep.

I don't use it in the weekends though so it's 4.41 am hurrah!

do tons of exercise during the day

I usually set up a schedule and force myself to go to sleep at that time.
