<p>There was an old topic about this but I didn't want to revive it...</p>
<p>For me:</p>
<p>1) Try to empty my head / count sheep or w/e...
2)...an hour later "*** I wasted so much sleep trying to sleep"
3) Twist and turn for another hour....
4) Get so tired from trying to fall asleep that I finally...
5) O crap an itch on my butt
6) And then fall asleep</p>
<p>wbu?</p>
<p>Insomniac a bit?</p>
<p>I fall asleep instantly so I don’t remember. Probably recollecting the day, tracing back to things I would have done differently and such.</p>
<p>I try not to think. Lately I haven’t been sleeping on time. I go to be at 10 and fall asleep at 5am. I tried to stay up all day, which is the only way to sleep early. I think somethings wrong with me :(</p>
<p>I usually try counting my breaths to bore myself to sleep.
Otherwise I think about a few people at school that I like. (As if that helps me fall asleep. :rolleyes:)</p>
<p>Sometimes it takes me forever to fall asleep. 
I have so much on my mind, especially during the school year…</p>
<p>i think of something happy, or something that reminds me of something that makes me happy… haha</p>
<p>Lately I’ve either been falling asleep immediately or spending waking hours worrying about things like college apps and whatnot. These past few months have been the most stressful/exhausting months I’ve ever been through.</p>
<p>First-
OMG there is something paranormal standing there, going to pull off the sheets, produce a flashing light or make some loud screeching noise… Then I get really paranoid, turn my lamp back on, convince my self it is all in my head, then proceed on to round 2. It has been working for a year now, and I do not suspect it will be leaving anytime soon.
Second-
All the crap I did not complete or what is ahead for the week.
It generally takes a long time to fall asleep, unfortunately.</p>
<p>I think about all the crap I have to do in the week like tests, projects, homework, etc. or like someone else mentioned, think about the person I like 
On the otherhand, if I do the whole toss-and-turn-and-close-my-eyes sleep routine without being successful, I watch Jay Leno or Jimmy Fallon till I fall asleep, which is around 1-2 AM … Then wake up at 5:15 bright and early to take a shower. I think I honestly have sleeping problems or I enjoy being a night owl.</p>
<p>I reflect on the past day.
I think about the summertime and everything good about it. I do this way too much…
I think about all the what-ifs that occurred recently.
I think about graduation.
I think about college and how ****ing great it’s going to be.</p>
<p>I used to design my dream house, but it’s too big of a project; now I design my dream room.</p>

<p>And I thought I was the only one!!</p>
<p>I plan what I’m going to do the next day, and try to do as much of it as possible in my head so as to save time in the morning.</p>
<p>tits and various things related to them.</p>
<p>LOL Puggly :D</p>
<p>
what? so imagining a monster and then reassuring yourself it’s not there, then going to “round 2”?
??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess I don’t convince myself well enough the first time…
And it’s not really a “monster”, but like some freaky spirit or something XD
Too many haunted movies…</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s why I hate horror movies, especially ones about supernatural phenomena. Watching them isn’t scary, but that night (and the next few weeks) brings a lot of paranoia… it’s ridiculously bad for my well being, yet I’m drawn towards watching them</p>
<p>^^Exactly! Well, sort of. I love horror movies, but they tend to fabricate unpleasant thoughts afterward…</p>
<p>I go over what I’m going to do the next day for each period. If I have some incomplete assignment, I’ll find a good class to get it done so I don’t get a 0.</p>
