I, for one, fall asleep very easily on most night before going to bed. Before hitting the hay each night, I lay in bed and read a magazine briefly before falling asleep. I'm aware that you don't retain as much of that information you as I would while reading it fully awake. Let's hear everyone else's traditions before going to bed each night??

I'm an insomniac. Hence all the random posts I make at 3 am.
Posted by Wing-Washer (Member # 3013) on :
Usually reading and sex with wife (in either order).

On occasion I read or watch a little tv...But for the most part I cant even remember putting my head o n the pillow...But have always gone to sleep quickly...Unless theres a lady in my bed ofcoarse lol
Posted by LeDaemon (Member # 198) on :
I'm pretty much disciplined like a lot of you guys here. As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm out like a light. I can't read in bed because I actually fall asleep before I can finish 1 page. Funny thing is as soon as I wake up from the alarm I literally leap out of bed in seconds and start getting dressed and ready for a jog at 5:00am. I was never in the military, but I bet there's lots of you dude's that were or are that are just like this.

Jeez, I'm practically an insomniac myself. I swear, there have been times when I've gone to bed, and lay awake in bed for 4 friggin' hours. I don't what to do sometimes. When I do finally get to sleep, I sleep fairly soundly, but I'll wake up for most any kind of noise these days. It's really frustrating sometimes.

I'm exactly the same - the wife doesn't understand how I can do it. I haven't needed coffee in the seven years since I enlisted. Posted by i love foot worship (Member # 29129) on :
whenever i take my socks off (if i wear them at all) or get out of the shower, and before bed everynight, i HAVE to have lotion on my feet, otherwise i don't feel right.

Funny enough I broke my tradition of book reading and had to beat it before sleepin! Maybe this thread has me aware of other ways to go to bed. Me beating off was totally subliminal in regards to this thread.
Posted by xxmadisonxx (Member # 24593) on :
i usually say goodnite to the dog, take my ipod to bed and fall asleep rubbin my feet together, dont know y i do this but i do, just rub my feet together softly till i fall asleep
Posted by Toetapper (Member # 6473) on :
Things have changed over the years, there was a time when I went out like a light; other times, I would drift to sleep as xxmadisonxx does.
Having one off (um, y'know, whacking) is still a ritual. Before bed, to make sure I go down and stay down, several heavy bourbons. The upside is that I don't know if I feel poorly until midway through the next day when the hangover clears.

just listen to "Kid A" by Radiohead before i go to sleep

radiohead's music can be depressing
based on your recent comments in your "creep" thread maybe you should listen to something more positive

it helps me fall asleep, i'm more into the sound and not the lyrics. most of my music taste are indie/ambeint to begin with. i listen to it before games just to get my mind to flow and feel at ease.

Me too! I cannot sleep unless I have put lotion on my feet first, otherwise they feel dry and hot and it bugs me. I also have to brush my teeth before going to bed, Mom would be so proud:)

try skinless, that'll really get ya pumped
Posted by blackHxC88 (Member # 15094) on :
i'm not trying to get jacked the fuck up pumped, i like being relaxed before a game. hence why i listen to it. it may be depressing, but it relaxes me.
Posted by Dave888 (Member # 13797) on :
I just wait till im tired and nodding out on the couch, then I can fall asleep easily. I have had sleeping issues all my life...laying in bed worrying about this and that...mind racing. But if I get really tired while on the couch watching tv I can fall asleep pretty fast once I make it to bed.
Posted by J.J. (Member # 24686) on :
I make love with my girlfriend before I sleep.
Posted by FtLckr26 (Member # 13998) on :
watch t.v. til I fall asleep and my wife wakes me to get in the bed.
Posted by timothy99 (Member # 28289) on :
I rub one out. That makes me sleepy then I go to bed.
Posted by -cfg- (Member # 13863) on :
Maybe there's something to this thread after all. Perhaps I should develop some sort of bedtime routine to help with the insomnia....that way I won't be here posting and cooking a full meal at 2 am because I'm bored and can't sleep
Posted by ljjnico (Member # 15015) on :
Leave the TV on till I fall asleep.
Posted by shook (Member # 12484) on :

Posted by ff101 (Member # 9844) on :
I have a few bongs, rub one out, than i just relax to some good music liek "tool" till i fall asleep.
Posted by Fate111 (Member # 2627) on :
I usually read a little out of a book before going to sleep.
Posted by ffeds91 (Member # 21622) on :
i usually read an article out of the newest sports illustrated to clear my mind. say my prayers for friends and family and turn out the lights. oh yeah, on occasion i do masterbate, which also helps clear the mind after a long day of work! yes i know i brought this post back from the dead, but why the hell not!

I'm not an insomniac but I do have a late sleeping cycle. I still try to go to bed at 11pm but usually end up watching Letterman, a late night movie then have a bat and it is usually 2 or 3am before I fall asleep.
