I’ve heard it said a million times, “8 hours of sleep a night,” “you need sleep to grow,” etc. My problem isn’t setting aside 8 hours of my day for sleep, instead it’s ensuring that I get 8 hours SOLID sleep. I share a flat with 2 of my friends, but they’re the sort who stay up way into the early hours on Facebook, AOL or some crap and, despite being asked, don’t really make any sort of effort to keep noise down.
Not to mention one of them being a freakin’ Lothario, bringing back a girl to drill most nights of the week. I can get to sleep easy enough, but I always get woken up by the noise which gets made: 2, 3, sometimes even 4 times in the space of a night. I’ve tried different things to help me sleep deeper, like herbal stuff and even earplugs, but none of them seem to offer any real help, and there’s only so much asking I can do without starting to feel like a whiny bitch. Anybody got any good tips for helping with deep sleep, or ways of drowning out noise?
White noise. Get a CD of nature sounds, like waterfalls and forests for example.
Then, I don’t know what “herbal stuff” you’ve tried, but the combination of Melatonin, 5-HTP & Phenibut will knock you out cold. You could also try some Z-12.
Earplugs, melatonin and ZMA are staples for me every night. There’s this sleep aid you can buy at walmart called Alertil. I like it, it works pretty good for me. It’s not real pricey either.
Reading something really boring helps me out tremendously before bed, a nice hot shower helps me to relax as well. If i know I need as much sleep as I can get in, I’ll always take a nice hot shower before bed and read something like a financial report or my tax accounting testbook.
I feel your pain sir and I have some valuable info for you. The solution is “howard leight” brand earplugs, The orange or red ones. Their extremely comfortable and unless your kids are driving a tractor trailor in the house, you should sleep like a baby. I Don’t think they sell them in Ireland though.
If your roomie is honestly brining home a new classy hoe every other night ask him to set you up with her friend…honestly…are you that dumb? The convo should go like this:
You: That girl you brought home the other night have any friends?
Him: I don’t know.
You: Can you ask?
Him: Maybe.
Rinse. Repeat til you get some ass.
I sleep like a baby after fucking. Who knows, maybe once you get laid you’ll find you do also.
