How do you sleep N's?

[disregard]

These are some things that help me sleep:

1. Not having any electronics in my bedroom.
2. Having a comfortable bed with clean linens.
3. Having a clean, organised room.
4. Having exercised that day.
5. Having only consumed a moderate amount of caffeine.

Generally I try to not take prescription drugs; maybe they are worth a try, hmmmm....

Well, I had a lot of problems either feeling like I was spinning while trying to go to sleep or waking up with veritgo or having sleep interrupted with sleep paralysis and it helped me, but hey I am certainly not trying to advise anyone else about what to do, just saying what helped me. May the doxylamine succinate doesn't produce "good sleep", but it certainly produces a better sleep than what I was getting and the side effects are minimal which I can't say for the No-Goes the doctor put me on two years ago!

In that case, yes I can see how they would help.

Thanks. I try to do most of those, caffeine kicks my ass though. I like to drink coffee whilst writing, and then I mostly write at night = bad combination.

does it ever feel like the wall and the floor are switching places?

I used to have trouble going to sleep when I was younger. Now I pretty much fall asleep a minute (or less) after my head hits the pillow. I guess I just get worn out by normal life now. I also exercise fairly regularly and don't drink much caffeine, neither of which was true when I was younger.

Yes, caffeine is probably the issue here.

I only allow myself 2 cups of tea per day. Feeling tranquil sure beats feeling like you're coked up.

That's more like objective vertigo.

I get subjective vertigo where I feel like I am the one spinning.

I've had the objective kind too. It sucked. Mostly when drunk mind.

Caffiene does make it easier to get Ne going for writing and such.
