Do a few shots.

Do a few shots.

that doesn't work. smoking pot helps but i heard it's not quality sleep and in the long run it can fuck up your REM cycles.

[Tasty]

Hmm.

- Cut back on caffeine
- Don't take naps
- Go for a walk
- Have some warm milk
- Read a book for 30 mins and don't look at TV/phone/computer screens
- Find a random benji longpost and attempt to read it

One of these usually does the trick for me.

[Tasty]

If you need to be distracted put like, TNG or some sitcom you like but have seen 100 times on in the background. Don't watch it but let the lines and commercials wash over you and drown your thoughts out.

Alternatively, see a therapist and work the issues out.

For the record, I love falling asleep to those 8 hour long rain/thunderstorm vids on YouTube, but I don't think that would help with a racing mind.

Any zen tricks to sleeping better or falling asleep faster?

I've been doing time released melatonin that has been working but i still can't stop my mind from racing before bed. Listening to podcasts help a bit, but sometimes if the podcast is good i end up staying up to listen to it. Does waterfall/forest soothing sounds actually work?

It's funny how during the day life is good, but for some reason right before bed the world seems to collapse on you and you sit pondering all your mistakes in life.

Not really 'zen' but meditation is good.

Speaking of melatonin, I just found out like last year or maybe the year before that it’s not melanin.

For years I didn’t understand how taking skin pigment orally could help you fall asleep.

Since it was brought up in this thread, I've been falling asleep to hours-long thunderstorm sound vids on YouTube every night this week.

[Tasty]

I wish thundersnowstorms were a thing. Or more of a thing if they already are.

[Assimilate]

thounderstorms or thounder snow storms? i'm confused.

I fall asleep with Forensic Files playing on Netflix. Like 400 episodes! So many bodily fluids! From a rainbow of racial/gender/sexual identities!

Gotta say I really dig this one. Might be the cameltoe.

people that deny biology is powerful i always ask them to look at some woman with serious hips.... tell me you dont' imagine her popping out your baby

Woah didn't know that was on Netflix;  wonder how many eps I've seen though, definitely in the hundreds.

[hampster]

My favorite fall asleep videos are Adam Savage’s One Day Builds on Tested or any Primitive Technology video

If that doesn’t work, you can always hit the hard stuff

[HardcoreRetro]

The advice on sleeping I'd get from the psychiatrist was to not use anything with a screen before sleeping. Apparently the light from a screen triggers the same response in your brain as daylight does.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Most sleeping problems can be solved by proper sleep hygiene. Stuff like dim the lights about 30 minutes before bed. Leave your bed only for sex and sleep and don't go into it until you're ready for sleep. No screen time 30 minutes before bed. If you get into bed and can't fall asleep within 15 minutes get out of bed and sit somewhere dim doing something relaxing for 15 minutes...etc. Some studies say that 75% of sleep problems can be dealt with this approach. Google it.

[Nintex]

1. Go to bed

2. Sleep

Waking up is the problem. If I don't set my alarm I can sleep for 10 - 12 hours on end and it's almost impossible to wake me up if I'm asleep.
Stuff that should wake me up, like sirens, thunder, fire alarms simply doesn't.

That's what the melatonin is for. it helps with kick your brain out of thinkign those lights meant daylight.

asmr videos work great for me

ASMR videos are dumb.

the iphone setting to change your screen colors after dark works pretty well for me.  That and sex right before bed.  Nothing like falling asleep with her juices still wet on you

you still feel like that after a year of being with her? I take a shower.


Was walking out of the bank today and this little old lady trips and falls. Eats pavement really hard,  breaks her glasses and busts her nose. At first i reacted slowly, but then there was fucking blood everywhere.

I had to help her up and then ask if she was with anyone. Of course her dumbass adult son and his wife were sitting close by at a coffee shop.  I got blood all over my shirt. I felt bad for her, really bad.

Shit ruined my day, my vibe. Now i'm trying to be zen. I hope she's ok.

[Stro]

Sounds like you're bitching about having been inconvenienced to have to help another person to me

You performed a small act of heroism, and it ruined your day?

Get some perspective breh.

I'm bothered that she was hurt you morons and the fact that her son is a careless idiot. I could probably say "guys i'm giving everyone here a million dollars" and i'm sure you fucks would find something to bitch about.

Sometimes i used to wonder "could i have followed my then gf to med school" nahhhh definitely not. That was definitely not in the cards for me. I can't imagine dealing with stuff like that on a day to day basis.

That sucks.

I was walking home one day a few years ago and this like 7-year old was pushing his paralyzed dad's wheelchair on the sidewalk, but hit the curb and tipped the dad over. He yelled at the kid something fierce, I walked over and offered a hand up to help him back into the chair and he just stared at me angrily as he did it himself (which took more time than if he let me help him.)

I felt bad for him and worse for the kid, who was literally trying his best.

Felt bad, man.

But what does it being after a year matter? lol

If you are finicky about pussay joose I guess I can understand just was confused about the year part.

Me I have a fetish for that shit, give me da joose.

sorta. that desire to bask in all the dirtiness isn't there and a shower is much more preferred.

[CatsCatsCats]

Lol wut if there’s a shower involved, maybe before. After? Eat or sleep are the only real choices

What about when he lost his mind because he was banned from RE for 24 hours, couldn't stop bitching about it the entire 24 hours, said he was never going back, then was back the second his ban was up?
