anybody still unable to sleep normally? :\ (1 Viewer)

[derek_]

at first i thought it was just pre-exam jitters, but yeh....first week in and it's like i'm lying in my bed for 1-2 hours staring at my eye lids going....so shouldn't i be sleeping ? :\

 

[gordo]

i have an mp3 player
i put headphone son and the 30 minutes sleep timer
and just drift off into mozart, it apparently makes u think better the next morning too

 

[Dougie]

i can't sleep, period.
i'm always tired, but i don't know how to relax.
the only way i get ok sleep is if i excercise.

Yeah, mozart always works..my bro use to listen to it 24/7 so im kinda use to it now =\. Thanx to the HSC i haven't been eating or sleeping well >=\

 

[unmentionable]

woah i guess im weird then
i sleep too much
i sleep in the arvo right after the exam cos its too tiring
then i sleep at like 12 and wake up at 10 if i dont have exams like today o.o
and if i do have exams i wake up at 7ish to get some last minute cramming done

lol, i have no problem sleeping, i have problems staying awake

umm try having a bath or a shower before you go to bed
do meditation for 10 minutes, that usually works.
try not to go to sleep within 30 minutes of studying because your brain will still be active and it'll be hard to go to sleep with your brain buzzing with facts.

ooh and mozart is very helpful! none of the fast stuff, just calm pretty stuff. try counting the beat of the music along with a clock and if its slower than the clock, that's the stuff you should be listening to (music with 60 beats per minute is apparently the most effective for studying)

 

[Crikket]

YES! go unmentionable!
the after exam sleep is the best

 

[unmentionable]

YES! go unmentionable!
the after exam sleep is the best

hahaha i know! its so satisfying

 

[Supra]

yep i slept for ages after paper 2 and that was real good...i neva sleep during the day(unless i get a headache) so it was a bit unusual...but yeh very good, i plan to sleep after maths as well

 

[Crikket]

you should do it more often, it's good!
i plan to do sleep so much after the maths ext 2 exam, which i shoudl be studying for right now.....

 

[unmentionable]

oh yes after maths ext2
my first 3hr exam i rkn id be sleeping for the whole day after that =\
which isnt good cos i should be studying eco! or 3u

 

[Crikket]

when's eco?
yeah, but i think we deserve a little rest after maths ext 2!
i hate it, i hate it so much, i can't wait to burn my notes

 

[unmentionable]

eco is stragiht after 3u
and well i kind of havent done much study for it yet
and theres so much to learn!

 

[Crikket]

lol! noooo sleep for you! *sleep nazi

 

[greentree]

uhh! i hate eco, but we had fun in the class, there were only 3 of us, 2 guys and me. i had the hugest sleep in on tues after paper 1, i think all the pressure and nerves caught up and i was like hsc isn't so scary!!!well that was until i got into chem today, yuck!!

 

[chantellet]

I still can't sleep properly at all.. My body clock is all messed up. I've been trying different things to get me to sleep like listening to relaxing music, drinking warm milk, reading before bed.. None of it works!! All I can do is lie there with my eyes shut pretending I'm asleep until eventually (about 2-3 hours later) I fall asleep.. And I can't sleep in the day for some weird reason.. grrrrr stupid HSC exams.. oh well 3 weeks left!

 

[greentree]

feelin your pain, i haven't been to bed before 11:30 any night cause i can't get ot sleep, and i figure its best not to sleep out of bed and do something that lie there and procrastinate!! still not helping though

*****BEST WAY TO FALL ASLEEP*****

If you can (I know for most this isn't possible), but here's the best advice:

Cuddle up to bf/gf and fall asleep in their arms. I was heaps stressed, and every single night can get about 9 hrs of sleep!!

If you can't do this, meditate! think about "Your Happy Place"!! (It worked for Happy Gilmore)

 

[~*~Karina~*~]

Herbal sleeping tablets...best thing ever!

 

[kelboo]

Do they actually work? I've only tried the chemical pharmaceutical ones.
