I feel like a complete dope using the haven for this :roll: , but I can't fall asleep. There's too much chatter inside my head right me. It's a bit like being joined at the head with someone who won't shut their trap. Several songs are playing, several trains of thought are running at once, and bits of movies keep replaying themselves. It's very distracting.

I don't really need help. I just needed someone to complain to, and everyone I know will be asleep by now.

Thanks for listening to me complain.

:tired: :coffee:

Where in the US are you? I'm in Eastern, and not even close to sleeping for the same reasons as you.

I'm in the central time zone. Sorry, I didn't realize that someone would reply so soon, or I would have kept my computer on.

Hope that you can sleep better next time.

What helps me is a noise maker. I downloaded an app for my phone called "white noise" and I just find something there and just meditate into the sound.

I have just the opposite problem. I can fall asleep almost anywhere. My mind is whizzing all the time. People close to me complain to me that I do not live in the present. I am always thinking one or two minutes ahead. I can't watch a movie, read a book or do anything that allows me to switch off. When I do, I fall asleep. Its a pain as I never get to relax. I'm either on the go or asleep.

I go through spells of insomnia as well, in fact I'm amid one right now. I've tried pills(both medicinal and homoeopathic in nature), hot milk, valerian(both pills and tea). I also have this channel on my cable terminal that's nature sounds/music and even that doesn't help me. Nothing helps when I'm in these spells.
