I smoke a joint around 1h before bed, I lay down, watch some unfathomably long video about something dumb (a bad game, Elon musk, the UK etc.), then I fall asleep, wake up an hour later to my computer playing the weirdest fucking thing, close the lid and go back to sleep. Works wonders.
I’m a skydiver type if I don’t have a backpack.
20mg of Melatonin 2 hours before bed.
100mg trazodone, 25mg doxylamine, 5mg melatonin, ~.5L whiskey or vodka.
Mix, inbibe, hope for the best.
With your mother, usually.
The App ‘Calm’ which is good for meditation also has sleep stories. There is a great one by Levar Burton describing the solar system.
Come to think of it, listening to the Levar Burton Reads podcast would probably work pretty good as well.
Ambien
Concentrating on breathing using my diaphragm.
I stole this actually from sitting meditation. Laying on my back this usually puts me too sleep in a couple of minutes. It’s especially useful when my mind is racing.
Earplugs, cold room, thick blanked and a pillow under my knees/between my legs depending on wether I’m on my back or side. If on top of all this I don’t fall asleep/wake up in the middle of the night anxious about unfinished tasks that would be great.
Eyes closed, dreaming deep. That’s the way I like to sleep.
sleeping technique
No idea what you mean by this.
Eyes closed. Preferably without dying.
the one where I’m unconcious for a couple hours while vividly halucinating
To combat jet lag, or otherwise reset your sleep schedule if it has drifted…
-
Go 24 hours without eating.
-
Go to bed early enough to make sure you get 8-10 hours before you normally want to wake up.
-
Using an alarm, wake up a bit earlier than you usually want to wake up.
-
Make a big breakfast, eating when you normally want to wake up.
Now your body will have reset its circadian rhythm, and you’ll naturally wake up at that time.
How the heck you fall asleep on a 24hr empty stomach?
Fatique.
Practice, I guess?
-
Staying up until I’m sleepy, then closing my eyes until I’m no longer tired.
Imagining something fantastic like living in an asteroid mine and managing things. Or trying to not think anything. Both works for me. And of course working 60h a week and spending my whole free time with my kids leaving me completely exhausted falling in coma in a second. Good night!
