I don't really have insomnia, but I do have a horrible sleeping pattern that I try to get under control, some nights I just can't fall asleep, usually it's just from things I have on my mind.
Take melatonin.
I'm never sleepy, but I fall asleep after an hour or so :-[
I usually aim to go to sleep around 9PM, because it takes me an hour to actually sleep.
Take melatonin.
Take melatonin.Melatonin does help but it's by no means a complete solution.

I do get insomnia a decent amount though. Fucking sucks, not much to do though.
Or anyone use to have it and somehow cured it?
Shit's a bitch yo.
Stu making chocolate pudding at 4am (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vs55Z7t7bk#noexternalembed)
Just try legit-looking remedies like a hot cup of milk.
Night light ?
Does that really work? Do I take it before or after brushing teeth?
How would a night light help? I need my room pitch black to sleep.
Oh excuse me for not knowing your personal information.
Good luck with that insomnia maybe you should keep playing gmod that always helps.
You could try eating some celery before bed?
I just listen to music for a good couple of hours until I can finally get to sleep.
Celery? Never heard of that. What's in them that does that?
I hate healthy food... but if it'd make me sleep better then I guess it could be worth it... and bonus of healthiness lol.
Celery is negative calories. It takes more energy to process than it gives your body.
Also some science. And a bit of magic.
Thank god I don't have that. I just lay in bed, think for a bit, then knock out.
If I can't sleep. I eat something warm. Fap. Then sleep. Or sometimes I fap then eat.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
My thoughts go on for ever. "Okay think about nothing... but that's impossible? I mean the only time you are thinking about nothing is when you are not thinking right? Okay how about just think about a white wall.... like Kingdom Hearts 2. How the fuck was that room so white anyways? Did seriously no one ever spill a drink or food in that room? A drink doesn't sound to bad right now, I am kinda thirsty I'd like some water, speaking of water it might rain this week right? Can't remember, the last time I've seen rain. Speaking of not seeing stuff for awhile, you know who else I haven't seen for awhile-"
It just keeps going and going! And at some point I think my brain just bitch slaps itself midconversartion so I shut up.

I'm really the exact same to the point that it can cause a decent amount of problems. The only time I actually sleep is when I'm like completely wiped out and exhausted in some way and my body just shuts down while I'm in the process of thinking. But yea, my mind is always going constantly and I'm literally never not thinking of something. The thought of actually having a decent moment without it and trying to actually makes me anxious and does often prevent me from sleeping. I probably sound psychotic or something now but oh well.

Do you ever eat and fap?
Your eyes are closed, right?

And I was really wanting to get sleeping pills before to help with that shit because it's really debilitating at some points but there's really no safe way of doing that. Especially because of my age. A lot of sleeping pills require you to be at least 18 and they still cause problems and it's still very easy to get addicted to them. I even had loads of tests done before though to see if there was any physical problem and there wasn't. Instead I got prescribed some minor anti-depressants a quite a while ago which was supposed to try to level out some hormones or some shit even though I wasn't depressed. Made no change.
Back to what people are recommending though. They're all generally minor aids when it comes to that. Though you should do most of those simply because it's healthy and may actually give you a better/longer rem sleep like melatonin. But yea, just don't go thinking "oh if I do all these things at once my problem should be solved!" because unfortunately, it won't. I think the best thing that you can do if you want a quick solution though is to work out really hard and get yourself exhausted. Like, to the point that your body aches if possible. Obviously to a healthy extent though. Oddly enough it hasn't actually been helping me recently though. At first it did, now it doesn't seem to really make any change. Still worth a try and either way it'll improve your overall health which is obviously good but just being overall healthy should improve your sleeping too. In general it allows your body to regenerate better with full rem sleep and such, though it might not necessarily help you falling to sleep.
Also you should check out kava roots. You should be able to find them in pills or even tea or something. It's supposed to help similarly to how melatonin does but I haven't tried it yet.
Yea. I think I will try some of them like the milk thing and working out thing(usually I'm always super comfy in bed, so I don't get up, maybe should do it before getting in bed.I've heard that exercising before going to bed isn't very good for your muscles, though it would depend on how hard or for how long would you do it.
I just don't understand how a night light would help....I read somewhere that it was a negative-calorie food, and takes energy away from you, rather than giving it.
Celery? Never heard of that. What's in them that does that?

That always keeps me up longer. lol

Problems with sunrise? Move up here.
Sun currently rising at 10:30am and setting at ~3:15 pm. Tho you are screwed in the summer.
As for insomnia, work on a boat, the rumbling of the engines puts just about anyone right to sleep. ;D
Sometimes.
Might be like how some of you just have bad sleeping patters, but I'm pretty sure I've managed to up my internal clock's ability to determine luminescence.
I could fall asleep under a giant stage light.
Or the Sun. Or strobe lights.
I think I had insomnia for a while, though. Didn't try pills or anything. But now I'm able to take 'power naps' and wake up autonomously at any morning hour as if I've had a great night's sleep/Like I never even slept/Like I didn't need to sleep/I blinked. Maybe I have insomnia and don't realize that I'm still awake while 'sleeping'.
I read somewhere that it was a negative-calorie food, and takes energy away from you, rather than giving it.
Woah where do you live? lol
Sounds pretty neat, though I don't think the sun rise is my problem really.
