I have trouble falling asleep when it's completely silent so I like listening to a radio talk show or something.

does anyone else have the exact opposite problem where you can instantly fall asleep and just about any time. I can lay down and fall asleep in about thirty seconds. I can't remember the last time I had a dream. I usually just close my eyes them bam its morning and my alarm is buzzing. I could sleep twenty hours no problem, get up take a piss then lay down and fall asleep in thirty seconds again.

I lay on my side and breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, slowly. Usually fall asleep quickly that way.

You get to bed and close your eyes. What do you see? Black right? Anyways, try to "fly" through that darkness... Further and further...deeper and deeper...as if you're in space...

It works for me sometimes.

Accomplish something during the day... If I don't accomplish anything I can't sleep. Also, picture nothing in your mind and concentrate on it. After concentrating on thinking about blackness; your mind will get bored and go to sleep. Well, mine does. Also, dont get into bed and try to get comfy, roll your sheets back get in and pull them on, your first position will get you to sleep the fastest. Beware, don't try getting up and trying that again :p


Eiffel 65 - Back in time, Little Girl, One Goal (3 dif. songs)
The Mayan Factor - Son of Sam, Warflower (2 dif songs)
Black Eyed Peas - Hey Mamma (Music video version)
Nelly Furtado - Explode

Good songs to fall asleep to, ESPECIALLY the Eiffel 65 songs if you can find them; no "I'm blue da ba dee" stuff in these. Btw, the song My Console is freaking awesome by Eiffel 65...You need to get it just for its coolness factor; trust me.
