Yeah, I do that too. If I cant sleep, I'll shut off the lights and try to get into a meditative state, but seeings how the typical reason I can't sleep is a brain I can't shut off... you can imagine how well that works sometimes.
Yep. I try it anyways but I find it annoying that it's always the first advice anyone give even though dark quiet usually makes my brain even louder. Oh well. Gotta try something

I know we have a lot of insomniac members. Someone should start a thread where we can offer support and swap sleep tips and support, not so much a venting thread - both that venting isn't OK - but with an emphasis on therapeutic support.

Sounds like a good thread! You should do it.

Tip #1: Don't make babies. Man, she was on a roll tonight.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

So probably everyone knows this already so it's no surprise to anyone that my condition features some mostly mild psychosis - manifesting frequently in auditory hallucinations, usually taking the form of sounds similar to a cacophony of crickets . Accurate enough, that's the best way I can explain that.
Imagine trying to sleep with a fuckton of crickets in your head. FMFL

Ouch CD, that sounds really annoying. Does mild music or running a podcast help?

Wow, CD...a cacophony of crickets in your head?
That can't work...
Me, I've been sleeping less than 5 hours a day, for a few months... don't know how I can function, but after lunch I feel like I really need a nap... And I do close my eyes, but sleeping while sitting doesn't work very well, so all I get is eye-rest... Good enough to keep functioning.
But not enough to rest.
I'm always sleepy...always tired...

Seriously, the TED Radio Hour podcast is my go to sleep aid. Or the Spotify Deep Focus playlist.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Sorry to hear that, CD. Can't Imagine what that's like.

It might, though my experience with music so far is that overstimulates my brain. Podcast, if not was sleep-inducing <- spotted the implied tautology
