Sleep Help
Well, my old friend Insomnia (plagued me since Middle School) has snuck up on me and snapped my neck and proceeded to piss all over my corpse and I've been up for a good 54 hours. Anyone have any ideas to help me sleep? No rush really. Odds are I'm not going anywhere.

Find yourself a list of something you can recite off by heart (this is important - you don't want to have to get up in the middle of the night because it's bugging you that you can't remember #29) and is just a little bit dull and repetitive - the G1 episodes by title in order, something you're interested in enough to remember, but isn't actually interesting in itself, Simply run it over in your head when in bed, and you'll bore yourself to sleep.

1. Lie down.
2. Rest your head on the pillow.
3. Pull the blanket over you.
Always works for me.

I found God. Then I lost him. He'll probably turn up down the back of the sofa someday.

Oh, poor you!
Try the 'girly' remedy:
a) a cup of warm milk, maybe with a little cocca to make it palatable
b) a nice, warm bath with either lavender or chamomile (or both) oil
c) keep the lighting low; floating candles should not be used, but some of those artificial, colour-changing ones are fine
d) dry self in snuggly, warm towel
e) go to bed and, with a suitable classical music concert on the radio, put out the light or
e) read something untaxing in subdued lighting, but be prepared to find the media with creases and/or bent in the morning - and the light still on...
If it doesn't work, get up and consume chocolate. Alternatively, there is always lettuce, but you'd have to eat tons of the stuff to have much effect.
Then there is the 'manly' way, which involves vast quantities of alcohol.

I tried A, as I saw it on the internets. B, I do daily. C, I turned all the lights and comp off at about 2 AM to no avail, so in that case I didn't do the Second E. First D I might try and the other E, I'm considering.Clogs wrote: a) a cup of warm milk, maybe with a little cocca to make it palatable

Considering I'm in a dry county and I'm under 21 doesn't help much...Then there is the 'manly' way, which involves vast quantities of alcohol.

Step 1: get a friend
Step 2: Get a baseball bat
Step 3: I think you know were this is going.
Or you could just have some fun about it and see how long you can stay awake.That will usually have an opposite effect and make me tired.
Anyhoos, hope you get some

I realized that the solution to my sleep issues was to wear socks when I sleep...It's amazing how sleepless one can be when they have literal cold feet.
No longer looking for RID Dreadwind, but I still need Smokejumper. I'm also in need of Mammoth Nemesis Prime's tail piece, as my figure lacks it. Send me a PM.
