what techniques should be used to fall asleep quicker?
I want to know.
>>36287894
smoke weed
I take melatonin like 45 minutes before bed. Helps me fall asleep. Combine that with a bed routine and it'll be much better.
Like..Brush teeth, wash face, take out contacts, take melatonin, internet porn, sleep.
Read a book before bed

Lavender knocks some people right out
I've had success with Mugwort
>>36287894
Eat at least an hour or two before sleeping. Mess around with the temperatures of your room find your niche. See if you prefer sleeping naked. Drink water before bed. Those are some tips I've found for myself. Hope I helped

I take melatonin and glycine, both are dirt cheap but definitely help, otherwise I'm terrible at falling asleep quickly, often taking an hour or more
I've never tried it but apparently polyphasic sleep like überman causes you to fall asleep almost instantly even after you stop sleeping polyphasicly
>>36287894
I take sleeping pills every night. I know it's "bad" for you, but i like the drowsy feeling, it kinda numbs me to life.
It takes 7 minutes to fall sleep. Anyway a friend of mine who is a neurologist gave this tip.
>Focus in one point.
>Start breathing fast for 15 minutes.
>Then breath slowly for five minutes.
The use this for the patients before they get a EEG test.

This shit all knocks me out no problem. Especially the wanking. If I'm ever having problems getting to sleep, I just crank one out, and I'm gone.
i was taking codeine (robutussin AC) for like 2 weeks now, literally gave me the best sleep of my life.
Had to stop now though because im getting pancreas and liver pain

>>36287945
beating my dick helps me sleep but i don't do it anymore because I like fucking my girl with a diamond dick so i abstain from porn/jacking it
it sucks but I'll sacrifice sleep for better sex
>>36287945

>melatonin.
/fit/ plz. If y'all *really* want to knock yourself out, you'd pop some diazepam.
Step up senpai.
>>36288149
If it's an option then just replace wanking with having more sex.
A shot of whiskey or a bit of wine helps me in the evening too.
Or my post workout hot Epsom salt bath with a book.
>>36288180
>diazepam
I'm too much of a beta to graduate to such things, familia. Also melatonin has pretty much 0 downsides providing you don't take it at random times.
>>36287894
Turn off all the lights and lie down. Your brain tried to keep itself awake when there is lights on.
>>36287894
Cell phones and other various devices give off something called blue light. It basically means that if you use your device in bed, and then try to go to sleep, you'll be laying there for an hour or two unable to sleep. I remember I used to use my iPad until 11pm, and then I would lay there and finally fall asleep at 12:30 or 1:00. I cut that out about a year ago, and now I put down my device down at or before 8pm, and fall asleep between 9 and 10 at latest.
>>36288322
Same here, though I still use my phone but I put Flux on it and I'm usually asleep within 20 minutes of laying down.
>>36287894
Earthpulse. Look it up
how many hours of sleep do you guys usually get?
It used to take me a lot of time to calm down and fall asleep, but a friend of mine told me to literally say goodnight to each of my body parts. Usually fall asleep before I finish the ~ritual. Makes you push stuff out of your mind and you focus on just doing that, and by the end you're sleepy.
Sounds gay as fuck, but works for me.
I've had serious trouble sleeping ever since I was a child. This is what I have found works
Pre-sleep
>no stimulating activities an hour before sleep (vidya, work/study, serious internet)
>minimal lighting
>solid nighttime hygiene routine
>deep breathing exercises
>light drink/marijuana (cheat code)
Falling asleep
>white noise (radio, loud humidifier)
>read slowly
>imagine your body being "erased" from the toes up
Staying asleep
>plan your sleep schedule so you are asleep between sunset and sunrise
>complete darkness (1-2 LEDs OK)
>empty bladder and enough water to stay hydrated through the night
>>36287894
>get in bed
>turn off light
>close eyes
>sleep
there that wasn't so hard
Controlling my breathing helps:
Breathe in and count to 10, breathe out and count to 5 - repeat.
>>36290092
I try to get 7-8 hours every night and take a nap of 1-2 hours during the day. The nap usually only happens after training though, after I had a sugars post workout snack I just paws out senpai
>>36288180
>diazepam
>not alprazolam
enjoy sedation during day
>>36288138
I've been taking robutussin to fall asleep once or twice a week since the winter when I realized how great it was to take some and pass out 10 minutes later.
how fucked am i if i keep doing this?
>>36291022
you are already past the point of no return, in 2 months you are probs gonna suck nigga dick for heroin.
>>36287894
Just read a book with one of those clip on lights and actually be tired.
Melatonin is GOAT but I only use it when I feel like I won't be able to sleep. It makes me groggy af the next day.
Valerian tea is really good too, use it almost daily.
300mg Mg Citrate before bed
5HTP does nothing for me
Read for half an hour before bed. If you can't sleep, try counting down from 100, decrementing on each out breath and visualising the numbers in your head
>>36290119
Fucking hell bro.. I see some buff autists laying in bed.. 'goodnight calves, goodnight quadriceps...'
>>36287945
I want to buy some but I hear people get bad nightmares when you stop taking it. Anyone can confirm?
>>36290119
I say goodnight to my pillow. [spoiler]And to Angie. I miss you.[/spoiler]
>>36287945
w2c melatonin?
>>36288011
>I take sleeping pills every night. I know it's "bad" for you, but i like the drowsy feeling, it kinda numbs me to life.
what do you take? i'm the same. promethazine here - phenergan or sominex here in the UK.
>>36291685
Literally everywhere. Even walmart.
>>36287943
Right but would not use long term
Sometimes I smoke about 0.1 string of hash in a glass, eat something and fall asleep pretty easily
>>36287894
sleep sucks for me cause i wake up with a boner that i've apparently been grinding into my mattress/underwear all night and it hurts
>>36287894
Real talk:
Try to get an erection by thinking sexy thoughts. It is impossible to get an erection while your sympaticus is too strong, so this forces your body to relax.
>>36291655
I can confirm you do not. When you first start taking it, however, your dreams will be strange and vivid. There's a mental addiction though, where you get so used to the higher quality of sleep that when you stop taking it, normal sleep is perceived as low-quality.
>>36288180
diazepam disturbs the rem cycle and you end up waking fucked up in the morning. besides being addicted to that shit ain't fun. you stupid or what?
>>36287894
I turn off most of my lights one hour before going to bed.
Drink some warm milk.
Mastrubate.
>>36290887
But anon, what if before I can fall asleep, the dreadful feelings, paranoia, and fears of
>what if I don't wake up
infect me and keep from getting to sleep?
>>36290119
yeah this is a variation of a technique they recommend in CBT. You focus on completely relaxing each body part, starting with toes, then feet, then calves etc. If you really focus on properly relaxing our muscles (which is actually quite a difficult thing to do) you will be out like a fuckin light
>>36290119
Can attest that this works well.
melatonin can help depending on dosage.
You need to set a schedule and train your body to fall asleep at x time. Know how you go to the gym or exercise at a certain time. how does yoru body feel when you arn't doing that, same with sleeping.
So try to go to sleep at the same time every day. WHen you go to bed, go to bed to sleep. Don't read in bed, Don't watch t.v.. just get in bed, lie still till you fall asleep. When you get up, try to eat something as soon as possible. Doesn't need to be huge, but something.
You can buy melatonin off the internet
Do a significant amount of people really have trouble falling asleep? I'm usually asleep within 10 minutes after turning my light off, I thought that was normal.
>>36288070
Lowers testosterone level's
2 or three hours here to get asleep, even if it's 1am, my sleep pattern is all fucked up
it's because i'm in vacation so i end sleeping in the morning up to 2 pm anyway
how can i make my sleep pattern normal again? i need to push by pure sheer will for two or three days or there is something more effective? it's like i'm in a constant jet lag
I just think about my waifu every night and imagine us going on adventures, ive been doing it so long I have a whole backstory and world built up.
sometimes we just cuddle though, out in the wilderness
>>36294364
Do it boys
It's not sleeping pills it makes you sleepy
>>36294514
melatonin lowers test though and you build tolerance in a few days
>>36294364
you can buy melatonin at the grocery store
>>36294517
>everything lowers test
fit what happend
>>36294531
also if you are autistic you may experience lucid dreams with melatonin, which will kill all your gains in that night
>>36288043
>It takes 7 minutes
>Start breathing fast for 15 minutes.
>Then breath slowly for five minutes.
can you elaborate more because this makes no sense
>>36290317
This guy pretty much has it down pat. This is exactly what you should be doing for a good sleep routine. Minimal lighting, proper nighttime hygiene routine, good timing
Meditation is also what can get me to sleep on nights I'm having trouble. 10 minutes of meditation is better than 10 minutes of lying awake in bed in my opinion
Does anyone have experience taking zinc supps?
I bought zinc citrate 50, contains 15mg elemental zinc I've been taking one daily and I'm wondering if I can up my dose to two
