I cant sleep if i put on anything ambient. I cant sleep if there's any light in the room.

I cant even do anything productive with the insomnia, because I don't have a fucking decent lamp to read my textbooks with either.

Have you tried tiring your body out

Exercises etc.

I did some light exersize so my heart rate was in the 120's for an hour in the afternoon.

Can you give examples?

I was riding my bicycle.

Try more intense exercises

Ones that'll tire your whole body out

Push ups, sit ups, running, lifting, etc

Really work your body out until it can't anymore

Work out until muscle failure

Alright, but still. You're acting like riding a bike for an hour isn't good exercise. I *tried*.

I mean it’s better than nothing

It's good, but it won't completely tire you out

I typically try to sprint as long as I can

I usually first run and then upperbody/gut stuff

I had a little bit out a gut coming in, but after running again since last week , it’s starting to go away

Slimming out baby

Over ate today by mistake so I'm gonna have to do my full workout again (was gonna do that anyways after taking a break from lifting)

Been running at least 2.5 to 3 miles a day

Noice

Typically run 4-5 days a week with a rest day or two

This is a classic but it's an accurate feel

It's 2 am and I cant fucking sleep again. It's time for a /nightride/

I know how it feels to be unable to sleep

It's shit

Fucking use the night filter and everything and use melatonin and worked out that day

FUcking ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass

So far Jason hasn't done anything tonight, I don't think he realizes I work Sundays now

Sean doesn't know

I mentioned the new "no porters in the kitchen" rule and Sean was like "huh, oh that"

😞

@nnqlnc I know I'm late here but i got an army trick for you. Lay in bed comfortably, preferably on your back. Then go through each limb, flex it (while keeping it still, you ain't doing yoga) and then let it relax again, focusing on feeling the muscles relax and loosen up

Repeat until success, it comes easier the more you do it.

@nnqlnc im an insomniac too. Here’s the things though. It really helped me out when I bought a new mattress. When you go to bed; don’t even put night filter on just leave your phone to chill somewhere else. But on some music that will either calm or bore you to death. A good example for songs that will calm you is the Halo 3 ODST soundtrack by Martin O’Donnell

Wait hold on sheep, jasons the guy you hate right? what did he do?

@nnqlnc Have you tried CBD oil? I hear it's pretty good for sleep, as is Lavender apparently.

@Deleted User CBD is the craze here because Colorado ("Haha weed dude it cures everything" Im sick of shit like that but there might be something to CBD.) @Foogals I attempted that muscle tense/relax method to no avail, really didnt help, jsut made me uncomfortable. @T-34 Waifu I do *not* have 1,000 to blow on new mattress. The whole fucking industry is a scam, too. I *tried* the filter on my phone and computer, but it didn't work. I know what you're getting at. Music has never helped me go to sleep, either. Any sort of noise aside from the ambient noise of cars passing by my house unsettles me and I can't sleep.

Honestly im just going to workout even harder and hope, and maybe just re-apply these methods I guess? I appriciate all the input.
