Because none of mine seem to be working. And the title is supposed to be TIPS and tricks, but I'm an idiot and didn't put my contacts in yet.
Right, so...I don't expect this to be half as popular as Emma's "I'm changing MSN s/ns because I'm being stalked" thread (sorry for de-railing it, sweetheart...but the world has to know that Picard trumps Kirk any day).
That saaaaaaaaaid:
I have been having a craptastic time with sleep lately.
either I can't sleep at all...or I sleep six to eight hours, get up for four, and then go back to sleep for another six.
What the hell?
So, I'm looking for solutions to this problem.
Here are the limitations: No milk to heat up, b/c I'm at school and it'd all just go bad.
My meditations don't work, either, and I have a couple of faves that have worked since I was eight. I'd be willing to try new ones, but mine haven't been working.
No sleeping pills. Because I'm at a point where if I had pills in my room, and started taking them, I wouldn't stop until I passed out. Toxicity level of 100 or so sleeping pills = X_X (Yes, I should probably seek professional help. No, I won't, I have too damn much to do. No, I'm not going to do something stupid because I have people that have promised to follow me, and if I'm going to have a death on my head, it's gonna be mine and mine alone).
EDIT AGAIN:
And I hate chamomile tea. I know it's supposed to be rawksome for sleeping, but it tastes like ick and bleh. Even with lots and lots and lots of honey.
Other than that...yea, I'm open to suggestions.'Cuz this really needs fixed.
And this is going up, and it's six a.m. (EDIT, I lied, it's 7:30) and I haven't slept and I'm going to go off and write a script about the Trail of Tears (documentary style, 0) and it's going to be suitably depressing for the topic.
Peace out. I'll check back laterz.
