Poll: "How" do you go to sleep? Use any sleeping aids?

[Excelsior]

Well? I ask this question because my roommate absolutely must sleep with his little fan on, but I am used to sleeping with my TV on. I prefer sleeping in total silence over the whirring of the fan.

alcohol
sex
mastubation

...in that order

 

[monk3y]

Just a fan...

 

[HamburgerBoy]

A twenty inch fan and a radio blaring Iron Maiden. I used to keep all the lights on as well but now the alarm clock is enough.

Everything off.

 

[her209]

Sex.

 

[ChooChooChooseMe]

Turn off everything. Pitch black + silent. But I can sleep with the lights on, or with something like a tv or fan on. I just prefer if it is dark and silent.

I desperately need the fan white noise, for some reason. Light levels can vary. Sometimes low volume chillout music (di.fm) in the background, but not often.

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

My computer fan going, but that's about it.

 

[cjgallen]

Red lights are fine (alarm clock, power strips), they actually help a little bit. Fan on if it's hot, but it's not needed. Computer is always on.

I sleep with my computer on, not because I feel I need it but because otherwise it can't be downloading.

I guess I should have included a computer option. when I say fan, I mean a seperate, fairly loud fan, not the computer fans.

I used to play some music, but that wastes resources, so I just turn off the lights, close my eyes, clear my mind, and 5 minutes later I'm dreaming.

Turn off everything. Pitch black + silent.

 

[Shawn]

must have computer and ceiling fan on or I can't sleep.

 

[Vich]

Everything off + dark. If that dont work ambien (zolpidem :-D)

 

[UglyCasanova]

Depends on what I have available. The doc had prescribed me Ambien because I can't sleep and those worked but I ran out of em and I don't feel like goin back to the doc for a refill. Pot or alcohol now.

Took a Xanax a little while ago. See how that works.

I need silence, or white noise. If I hear talking, or sound effects, I can not sleep at all.
I keep 2 pcs in my master bedroom, and these 2 boxes are kept on at all times. The hum of the computers makes it so that I don't hear the neighbors in the townhouse next door when they run up or down their stairs, and I don't hear the cars that have too much bass so bad. I would prefer silence, however, that's impossible to achieve here, so white noise will do.

I have never in my life been able to fall asleep with a tv on or music on.

Drugs. Otherwise my inner screams of mediocrity and self loathing keep me awake through the night. I don't even try to go to sleep by myself anymore, I just take the medicine. I still don't like waking up, because I know it'll be another sh!tty day in the life. Whatever.
