Definitely time to see a therapist. I went through the same thing a couple of years ago when I tried to wean myself off of antidepressants. Bad call. Don't be afraid to seek any kind of therapy, medicinal or otherwise. It's so much better than the alternative. Ironically, this was during hockey season, and the 2nd season of the Sabres under Bylsma were my therapy; even when they were playing crappy they gave me a distraction as well as a reminder of how much I enjoy seeing them play in KBC. Before they basically gave up after the break, they held a special place in my heart. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 I haven't read this entire thread. But, I sleep like a baby. It might have something to do with the fact that I still sleep on a full wave waterbed, when I get on a full mattress bed, I can't sleep to save my life. Regardless, one major thing I have heard puts people to sleep is to leave the TV on, but keep it at a very low volume so you're concentrating on what is being said. Once you are focused on what is being said, instead of trying to figure out why you can't sleep.......... you've fallen asleep. If you can't sleep, you need a distraction. If you can't sleep and you are in a pitch black room with no sound, you'll never fall asleep. Quote
North Buffalo Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Oh, I can sleep in a pitch black room with no sound... it is wonderful. My work schedule screws up my sleep patterns and having two adolescent boys. I yearn for quiet peace and no noise... can and do sleep like a log when as infrequently as that happens. 1 Quote

If you can't sleep and you are in a pitch black room with no sound, you'll never fall asleep. I fall asleep listening to some tv show every single night. Usually to some educational type program with monotone narration (something like Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman, or How the Universe Works narrated by Mike Rowe). Most tvs even have a setting where you can shut the screen off but the program and volume stay on and now that it's easy to stream stuff using a Roku or Firestick you don't even have to worry about a random commercial that's 10 times louder than the program waking you up. It's awesome. The other things I'd highly recommend are dropping the thermostat down into the 60's and getting some sort of cooling pad for your pillow. I usually don't have any trouble sleeping since I set my programmable thermostat to 67 degrees before bed and using whatever cooling gel pad pillow topper that my girlfriend bought me last b-day/xmas or whenever she got it for me. They are comfortable enough at room temperature but you can also stick them in the fridge or freezer to get them really cold if needed. 1 Quote
pi2000 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 I need darkness, silence, and sub 65F temps to fall asleep. My wife needs the TV on with sound (100-110db) and temps over 120F. 2 Quote
North Buffalo Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 My wife likes it cold like 50 degrees me 60-65 but no direct fan. Quote
The Dominator Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 I personally need some sort of sound or else my ears fill the void themselves. Whenever I try to go to bed in a completely silent room, my ears start ringing which makes it impossible to fall asleep. Something as simple as a low hum of a fan on will do the trick now that I've cut cable and don't fall asleep with the tv on. As for light, I can sleep with a small amount of light leaking in from outside or in a pitch black room. My only issue with the pitch black room is sometimes when I wake up at night I'm in a lucid state and think I'm seeing things that aren't there (there have been some weird ones). So preferably I normally leave one of my window shades opened slightly, that way if I wake up at night there's enough brightness in the room to get my bearings. Quote
Eleven Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Posted January 19, 2019 And we're back. Last night sucked and it looks like we're going into day 2. Luckily, Monday is off, so if worse comes to worst, I'll just take a million pills and rest. But right now? I JUST WANT TO SLEEP. I don't really care about the Canucks. I WANT TO SLEEP. Quote

I suppose I could go to Walgreens and a bar, but no. I'm just going to annoy the hell out of you via text if I can't sleep after the second period. And if you mute me, I'll just annoy Josie instead. And then she'll annoy you. Actually, maybe that should be Plan A. Edited January 19, 2019 by Eleven Quote
