  7. Trouble Sleeping.

    in Chit Chat

    Posted

    I'm gonna really annoy you now and let you know that, on average, it takes somewhere between 3 and 10 minutes for me to get to sleep.

    I just usually lie there face down on the bed, take a deep breath and let it out and thats it... usually i'm asleep.

    However if i can't get to sleep for more than 5 minutes i get agitated, this results in me then having to try and get to sleep, for which i do exactly the same, but i think about a scenario that i could be in... like riding in a competition or having fun riding a skatepark. After about a minute of lieing there, eyes closed thinking about riding i "make it more interesting", this usually involves something really far fetched like pulling off double backflip 360 tailwhips or something equally crazy, after another minute move on to something even more crazy... aliens lazers and spaceships trying to stop me riding should do it, and at this point you should find yourself already starting to drift to sleep and the story your imagining will start to carry on without you thinking about it. Another minute and you'll be asleep ^_^

    Apparantly it has something to do with concentrating on and using the creative side of your brain, the one thats most active when sleeping (for dreaming obviously), if you concentrate on using it while lieing still the other parts of the brain have nothing to do (motor control, problem solving... stuff like that) they effectively go to sleep, this, funnily enough... also sends you off to sleep.

    Works everytime ;)

    P.S. If at the "drowsy/dreams taking over" stage you realise your going to sleep, dont get excited think of it as an accomplishment and smile, or reposition yourself to get comfy for sleeping because you've just used the motor section of the brain and will have to start again to send it off to sleep.

    I just about fell sleep reading that lol, takes me about 15 minutes to get sleep, just try not to move alot.

    When mine get big i use a old mach 3 razor blade and cut them down to size, never hurts since its just dead skin and you never go deep enough to cut, it cuts the off perfectly flush to the height of the rest of your skin. Try it out, first few strokes takes out big chunks but keeps going, they look shiney too!

    Thats what i do ... knife or anything else is crap the razor just smooths them of and makde them look normaly again !
