What to Do When Insomnia Strikes?

[Cinch]

Can't sleep.

How can I get to sleep? Or alternatively, how can I entertain myself in the mean time?

I have all of the usual girlie items in my apartment, lots of art supplies, a half bottle of wine and a grand total of eight otc sleeping pills.

Masturbation, dancing naked, working on some art and one sleeping pill have already been tried.

Suggestions?

Watch CSPAN

 

[Tisiphone]

Don't try too hard.

I rarely have trouble getting to sleep but when I do I just get up, go in the living room, turn the tv on and try really hard to watch something. I'm usually konked out in 30 minutes.

 

[Love Child]

I will relax you Cinch.

 

[Dr Dave]

Watch some tv or listen to the radio.

I've just learned to live with it. But I wouldn't say I'm living well.

In this order: Smoke pot, fuck, then eat a turkey sandwich on an empty stomach. The maxing-out on endorphins and serotonin (well, anandamide really), then finishing off with tryptophan will drop you like a rock. You can replace fucking with masturbation, but masturbation (unless you're some sort of olympic masturbator) releases less endorphins due to the lack of physicality. Especially for women, 'cause flickin' your bean doesn't require a lot of work.

Or for the health conscious people too afraid to live a little, exercise daily and get plenty of sunshine. The exercise tires your body, and releases endorphins, which make you a happier person and triggers sleepiness. While the sunshine provides lots of vitamin D, which helps you grow strong bones, decreases depression levels, and makes you sleepy.

SCIENCE IS THE ANSWER!

 

[Cassie]

I can barely stay awake past 11pm.

 

[Conchaga]

^Says one of the only TK Americans who lives closest to the tropics, where you get a lot of sunshine. Northerners tend to stay awake longer.

I feel bad for canadians and Alaskans. They must never sleep.

 

[Cinch]

<--- Canadian

 

[Conchaga]

I REST MY CASE!

Now, how can I help with that wank session?

 

[Dr Dave]

I stay up late as well, so what you say about northerners seems true.

 

[Cassie]

Maybe the heat sucks the life out of me.

 

[Cinch]

Well, it's certainly not cold here. It was 27 here but felt like 34 when the humidity was factored in. That's 93.2 for the American audience.

And you missed the wanking. I started a little too early. Well.... you missed the first round of wanking. You could send pictures.

Driving relaxes me, which is why I'll hop in my car late at night and go tooling around the backroads out where I live. And sometimes I find that if I just chill on the couch, instead of getting to bed, I'm likely to fall asleep much easier. True, my entire body will ache from being on my loveseat, but I might get at least an hour or more there than I would have in bed.
