Sleep Aid

[Ivaden]

Well I lied down to take a 2 hour nap before a class and ended up sleeping like...7 hours or so, so the whole "stay up for 24 hours" thing didn't exactly work.

For me, it takes a couple days of having a completely fucked up sleep cycle before I can do this. I'll end up putting too much faith in my alarm clock, lay down for a nap and wake up a lot later which ends up making the cycle worse. I can do it no problem with lots of coffee, but to be honest I'd rather sleep than feel wired (I get real shakey from too much coffee).

Whenever I have a sleeping problem and I need to wake up at a specific time, I pop one of my migraine pills. Probably not a very healthy thing to do, but they knock me out and that's a godsend considering I have a high tolerance to medicines. It's either that or take a couple shots of Nyquil for me, sometimes Excedrin PM will work (I take three usually).

If you take a nap it'll screw over the whole "stay up for 24 hours" deal. Best to do it gradually over the course of a few days if possible (i.e. for me it's easier to keep moving my sleep schedule later instead of earlier). Also, using the computer / watching TV will fool you into feeling more alert than your body really is, so if you can try to avoid doing that kind of stuff before you try to go to sleep.
