Sometimes I just lie in bed like a schmuck for a long time before falling asleep and it pisses me off!

A loooooooooooooong time usually.

Then again, if I have some geriatric, old-school leftist crapping on about world peace, the redistribution of wealth and the sins of the white race it takes about 2 seconds.

You're thinking too much, Ari!

Reduce your thinking.

Very true!!!

My brain thinks too much when i go to bed, especially if i need to do something special the next day...or planning. As Scriabin said, you need to try and think of NOTHING. If you think of nothing, you will easilly fall asleep. I know, easier said than done $:-\$

No more thinking, Scriabin. I'll be out like a light in no time.

Skippy, you're lucky you can fall asleep so easily. A lot of people tell me they fall asleep so easily, but I can never relate to this.

Have you been working on reducing your thinking?

It really works.

Ari · « **Reply #10 on:** February 18, 2008, 01:37:50 AM »

Yes, I'm trying my best.

See Ari you have never been in an area when your life depends on the ability to sleep quickly, I remember so time back we worked 74 hours without sleep , we had little choice, its about training your body and mind to accept your will.

But I am glad you have a problem with sleeping, because it shows you have always been safe in your life, and with G-ds will I pray that never changes

I am saying if your life depending on sleeping you train your body to do so. Its a long term behavioral development skill.

I can never get to sleep. I can't sleep 'til two hours before I have to get up. Then I'm dog-tired and walk around like a retarded zombie all day.

People think I'm an argentinian.

Well, I guess that's one positive way to look at it. Thanks Skippy. I can relate to this too, Newman. I do have ambien for dire emergencies, but it makes you a complete zombie the next day in my experience.
