[PHEASANT PLUCKER]

Ali,Try lying on the edge of the bed...You will soon drop off 

[Nickbat]

Ali are you sure you want to ask this lot ,that sort of question 

I think Im big enough to cope with their answers

I have tried reading do not have tv upstairs cant drink milk could try the beer thing

I invariably do, Ali, and I sleep like a log. 

[ali]

for sleep those are required :

enough oxygen in room
normal temperature (not cold, not hot)
silence
normal blood sugar level
empty urinary system
empty head
tired body :-/

  I think I maybe over tired, has been a manic few months, working 7 days a week. Maybe I need a holiday

[p j morgan]

easy solution !watch a political party broadcast that should do the trick

[Darth Loo-knee]

You need a Rabbit, Ali

I should have been a Salesman for Ann Summers could have made a few quid plus if there was anyone that needed showing

if you're keeping odd hours that doesn't help, try going to bed at the exact same time every night, it trains your body clock and you fall into a pattern...thats the theory anyway - i'm up til all hours then up at the crack of dawn so maybe i shouldn't dish out advice

thats an old model

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Im not sleeping very well so any of your tried and tested methods would be worth a go

Rumpo.......Ali......

is that an offer

You Betcha Ali......

[Elite Pete]

I find a five knuckle shuffle usually helps

[Gaffers]

I lie down in the recovery position, works every time 

[TheBoy]

As a lifelong insomniac, I've never found a cure 

Having a couple of nightcaps before bedtime helps, but it not something you can do everynight, and although you fall asleep quicker, its not a good sleep.  Nightnurse and whisky is a particularly good combination for me, need it about an hour before I go to sleep. Usually excessively grumpy next morning though.


My mum does the coffee before bedtime, and that works for her - mind, her doctor has told her she is addicted to caffine.


Mrs TB is one of those lucky ones, as soon as her head hits the pillow, she's asleep 

[The Red Baron]

3litres of cider usually does it for me

Ah yes........ caffeine TB.........that well known STIMULANT cure  for insomnia

My doctor advised not going to bed until I'm feeling really tired.
Don't read in bed either, apparently it stimulates the brain into further activity, same goes for watching telly in bed.

My body clock's all over the shop too, due to my shift pattern. I'm up for work at 4am some days, then not in bed until after 1am other days. Goes with working on the railways I suppose.

PS: Try attending Newent 2010.
I get a good night's kip after the 'TB Quiz', Bob Dent's BBQ, and a few bottles of Newcastle Brown.

Entwood substitutes the latter with some single malt variety!
