Ok, it is 3 o'clock in the morning, I have to get up at 6. Great.
I was off school for the last 3 weeks because of easter holidays and yes, I haven't gone to bed before 7 am in that time but I really need to get sleep now. Yesterday I tried going to bed at 2 o'clock in the morning and I lay there awake until 5 o'clock!!
I realize that this is a long term problem of which i do not know an answer.
Yes, my Gp32 is locked away during the night but thats not really the problem.
I dont want to end like elvis and just eat one pill after the other to get to some sleep so I am asking you:
What homemade thing can you recommend to me that helps me get some sleep?
I heard that warm milk will do the trick but unfortunatly not this night :) I'll try my bed again now.. hopefully we dont have to do anything that involves "thinking" tomorrow at school...
 
Closing your eyes is a good start, it usually helps :)

Personally I like to have a cup of coffee, tea, or hot coco, despite the caffine and sugar, (which dont effect me anymore), the warmth of the drink is soothing and helps. Also a nice warm bath, soak in the tub and read a book for 30+ minutes, that usually does it for me.
 
I know how you feel. When I been up all night for a week or so, it normally takes me 3 - 4 days before I can go back to the routine of going to bed at midnight and getting up at 6pm.

Normally tho' I just keep at it. Stick my head down and don't get up till it's time. Takes a few days, but afterwards everything normal again.
 
just listen to music...

Hey, I second that! :D

The trick is, though, you have to go to bed at the first sign of sleepiness. Then listen to something relaxing for 10-20 minutes, then drift off into sleep. You'll be really refreshed in the morning. :)
 
Instead of reading in the bath, play GP32 in the bath ;) Put it in a plastic bad :p

Warning: It is not reccomended to submerge the GP32 into the water, even if there is a plastic bag on it ;)

I ignored the warning and I'm now in hospital with third-degree burns! Read the warning people!

Is your GP32 in the bed next to you? ;)

The mini current that it made turned the bath into an electromagnet, and the radio got pulled in ;)
