True enough.....eh, trying some relaxing music and just emptying my mind tonight. So far working. Though I guess I should turn off the computer....or at least close the lid so I stop posting....

That tends to help too, that's one of my main problems actually...lol...

Do try to work out a regular sleeping schedule, no matter how late you go and how early you rise. a more regular schedule will teach your body when to sleep, so you won't be nutty when it's your bedtime

Yeah.....I definitely need to do that before college starts back up again. Although I have a feeling Tiva is going to make me sleep more regularly during my visit with her, and if not then once the semester starts.

Regular sleep schedules are hard when your on break...or at least for me they are...

That they are.....especially because once you get off it, it just keeps getting worse and is quite a lot of work to get back on.

You're telling me. I mean really, I don't think I've gone to sleep before 2am any this break...

I'm kinda forced into a regular sleep schedule when I'm on break. Unless I doze off at about 4-5 in the morning, I get woken up by my aunt being generally noisy throughout the house. This morning I was woken up by her making cutesy barking and howling noises at her dogs, as if the dogs themselves aren't bad enough. She doesn't have big dogs; she has a rat terrier and two miniature dobermans.

I've had some times when I couldn't sleep.

But usually that's after I wake up in the middle of the night to a hallucination...like last time was...a black thing floating over me and dropping something on me...it said it dropped a snake on me and I screamed bloody murder. I didn't go back to sleep until after it was light outside .-. And now I must have the light on to sleep .-.

I know this isn't helpful to you, but still...

Eh, it is sharing an experience. I have had similar ones. Not so much bleeding into reality as a hallucination, just with how real the dream was and realistic. They have literally had me jumping out of bed before and freaking me out......too personal to share on here.....

I don't wake up from nightmares, though I do still scream-my dad said so. And my house is haunted, so really...I'm just hoping it was a hallucination. A hallucination might mean I'm low on b12...or one of those hypnagogic? hallucination things.

Otherwise...I'd be too scared to be in this house anymore .-.

I have a hell of a time getting to sleep for one reason or another. Lengthy details and explanations aside stuff that has helped me tends to be making sure I am warm enough and that I'm not going to bed hungry. I often find I sleep quite well after having a snack, or I'm more likely to fall asleep.

Apparently white noise supposed to help, especially with babies, and I've found that in the few days since we've plugged in an air-filter with a quiet but still noticible motor, I've slept a lot better. Of course, it could also be the cleaner air. I know I like quiet when I sleep but I'm just as likely to stay away when it's dead quiet as when it's loud.

I concentrate my thoughts on a spot on a wall.
Then I suddenly find myself waking up to sunlight.

I tried to get to sleep but I got a three year old black furball who keeps me up at night.

I listen to music quietly, or I get up and walk around then come back like 20 minutes later and try to sleep again.
