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.

Really? That's pretty lame... think I have of that before though.

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

Woah where do you live? lol
 Sounds pretty neat, though I don't think the sun rise is my problem really.

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 don't ever take naps because it takes me so long to sleep. And the few times I tired they were like 3 hour long naps. lol

I read somewhere that it was a negative-calorie food, and takes energy away from you, rather than giving it.

Yea, that's what Deacon said. Is celery any good? I've stayed pretty far away from green healthy food. lol

I read somewhere that it was a negative-calorie food, and takes energy away from you, rather than giving it.

It is, most of the calories in celery are in the cellulose, which our bodies cant really process. So it takes more energy to digest than it provides to us.
Though in reality, you could eat celery all day and it wouldn't have much of an effect, since its a small amount of negative calories.  You could equal the same calorie loss by sleeping all day.
Drinking a glass of cold water will give you more negative calories than celery, since the drop in your core body temp will take more calories to burn than eating celery.

As for a insomnia solution, if it works w/e it works. But I wouldn't expect miracles.


Occasional insomnia in teenagers is relatively common, and in most cases greatly reduces in intensity some time after the age of 18.

If you have chronic insomnia ( frequently awake for days or weeks at a time), don't ask us for help, go to a specialist doctor in the area.

If it's not a frequent, try:
- Going to sleep at regular times
- Exercising earlier in the day

Insomnia is a tough one, since it is often a mix between biological problems, and mental problems.


I also occasionally get the issue where you just don't stop thinking about things and it keeps you awake, I've learned how to tell my mind to stfu, but It still gets me every once in a while.

A good labor intensive job might help, since the work that allows you to go into autopilot tends to help teach you to take your mind off things. That + the physical exhaustion might reset you into a good sleep schedule.

Celery is negative calories. It takes more energy to process than it gives your body.
Also some science. And a bit of magic.



;)
Also, I didn't mean working out before going to bed. You're going to want to do it way earlier or it's going to have the opposite affect.
Also, for me I can literally lay awake the whole night when it's really bad. It's not too uncommon for me to go to bed at like 11:00 and get up at 8:00 without any sleep. Though I don't usually have it quite that bad during school time because I'm just always tired so it takes less time.

Buuut back to the celery, I don't think eating that would help you sleep really... It's just healthy. Calorie loss can be good of course but it's not really going to help you sleep. At least not from what I know. It's the muscle development and cardio stuff that gets you tired and will help with rem sleep and such, not just pure weight loss.

Luckily I didn't get any abnormal sleep genes, but my brother on the other hand, will sleep walk to my door with half open eyes and deny being asleep then carry on a full conversation.

He's also moved his mattress into the bathroom and made frosting while asleep.  The next morning he doesn't remember any of it.

I started locking my bedroom door at night when I lived at home lol.
