Help!!! Cannot Sleep!

[Anox]

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.

Hehe thanks guys.
After this night's 35 minutes of sleep I'll take your advice and try to make the best out of tonight

going in the bath/shower usually does the trick for me... apparently it's something to do with your body temperature lowering afterwards...

Hey, I second that!

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.

Just watch the movie Titanic. Does wonders for me every time.

We had the same topic on CNCForen.de some time ago....

Three pages of useful tips (I suspect you speak German, denn wenn ich mich nicht irre, BIST du Deutscher )

just do a wrapover (stay awake for two days and go to bed early on the second).

Just think about sleep while trying to sleep. Also thinking about how comfortable you are also helps me.

Instead of reading in the bath, play GP32 in the bath Put it in a plastic bad

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

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