When I was shift-working, I often had to be asleep at 6.30pm to be at work at 2am. I learned that sleep comes in waves. If you just put you head down and wait for sleep you can be awake for hours. Relax, read something boring and wait for the sleep wave to hit you. Then go directly to bed. Wait too long and the wave will pass, leaving you hanging until the next one.

I did eventually fall asleep at 11:45ish. Luckily we didn't have any work to do today, so I'm off all weekend. Plenty of time to possibly catch up on much needed rest. Doubt I will though.

Sleeping alot on weekends could be throwing your body off for the rest of the week. Try to keep regular sleep times.

Just remembered, a few years ago I had trouble sleeping. My doctor told me to take 3 mg. of melatonin apx. 30 to 45 min. before bed. Melatonin is a natural substance made in your brain. I found it helped me. It is in the vitamin section in the drug store.

I googled it and found alot on it. Below is a small part ......

What is melatonin?
Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland , a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles. Very small amounts of it are found in foods such as meats, grains, fruits, and vegetables. You can also buy it as a supplement.

What does natural melatonin do in the body?
Your body has its own internal clock that controls your natural cycle of sleeping and waking hours. In part, your body clock controls how much melatonin your body makes. Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then drop in the early morning hours.

Light affects how much melatonin your body produces. During the shorter days of the winter months, your body may produce melatonin either earlier or later in the day than usual. This change can lead to symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or winter depression.1

That ^^^, a bottle of Wild Turkey, or tip over the scoot of somebody wearing colors and you'll go to sleep. :nod:

Just calling it a scoot'd get you a few hours sleep.

Don't like whiskey and the idea of dumping someone's bike doesn't suit me. Especially since I know I'd be beating the shit out of the person that tips mine. Actually, scoot is old slang for a bike.

Teddy, what does it mean when you want to sleep more in the summer than in the winter. I love the cold. I'm actually more awake during the winter than the summer. The heat just kills me. Makes me sleepy all the time.

masturbate again........& more vigorously. :spank:

Ummm, for me it kind of doesn't matter how often or how vigorous I masturbate. If my body says "you're awake and not tired" I'm awake and not tired. The release from masturbation or sex doesn't tire me out.

I don't play a doctor on tv but if I did I'd say heat makes you sleepy? lol. I dunno, something to do with those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer?

Maybe it's because it's way to damn hot, sticky icky to move. Lack of movement means atrify, atrify leads to laziness, which leads to me sleeping? Or maybe I just watch way to much House?

I figure if you got four or five gals to ravish your body for the next ten or twelve hours; having them do all sorts of insidious things to you ... you'll probably get tired and then they could sooth and massage you while you slept. Works every time I've had that done.

Actually, I've never been lucky enough to have had that happen, but I think it'd work. :)

Great idea DB!!

Is there a sign-up sheet somewhere? :)

I mean i'm willing to try and help a fellow Pixie get some sleep. ;)

Now that I think about it, I've been having trouble getting to sleep. :wave:

You know, I'm really not the multiple type. I'm more of a one woman kind of guy. Quality, not quantity. Now I'm not saying the women here at Pixies don't have the quality. When it comes these lovely ladies, there's just to many to please and I would only want to give my best performance.
