Help me please...

Atronoch 2004-01-16 07:09:38 ET Do any of you know good ways to fall asleep? I'm a horrible insomniac and my body really really doesn't like it. Because after about 3 days w/o sleep I start to get schizophrenic like symptoms like seeing and hearing things... My mind works very oddly under a certain amount of stress and well this'll be my third night up help if you can plz. As much as I don't like to sleep I value my sanity the most over all.

Sybarite 2004-01-16 07:13:44 ET yeah.. that's just not healthy. I'm a raging insomniac too, but there are some herbal teas that help; mixing equal parts chamomile, kava-kava, catnip and hops works well.

Atronoch 2004-01-16 07:16:15 ET I've tried the chamomile before doesn't really work that well... whats the kava-kava and as for the catnip I don't have any around the house and my town has a problem selling hops to ppl under 21 stupid drinking laws...

wingedpix 2004-01-16 07:20:56 ET Pop in the original Fantasia, that was always my secret weapon when I used to babysit crazy children as a teenager. Should knock you out by the Sugarplum Fairy segment, if not sooner. :)

Sybarite 2004-01-16 07:23:19 ET that might work too.

Atronoch 2004-01-16 07:23:39 ET Lmao that might work except I like some of the things in Fantasia and am likely to stay awake to watch em especially the last one. I might try some different teas tonight but dang not sleeping is getting old... and i seem to be smelling pot but i cant be because i dont own any right now... gah im goin nuts already

Sybarite 2004-01-16 07:23:59 ET have you tried valerian? it smells like shit but it works.

Atronoch 2004-01-16 07:27:00 ET I've haven't heard of it what kind of herb is it? I'm pretty much outta ideas ive tried all the herbs in my books not workin...

Atronoch 2004-01-16 07:27:52 ET So will mixing different herbs make a drink more potent? because I really haven't tried making muli herb tea before

Atronoch 2004-01-16 07:31:01 ET thank you maybe now ill be in dreamy land soon

Sybarite 2004-01-16 07:44:07 ET good luck on that.

fakeambition 2004-01-16 08:05:46 ET yeah, listen to sybarite, valerian will knock you out, and catnip might work- they usually have catnip plants at garden shops. passionflower works well too, though sometimes it can be hard to find.

Sybarite 2004-01-16 08:14:47 ET yeah, listen to me.. I rock. ;) passionflower can cause a bit of stomach upset with some people, so be careful of that.. and if you have any allergies to ragweed, chamomile will make them worse, so..yeah.

fakeambition 2004-01-16 09:01:52 ET if you arent trying to keep it natural or whatever, take a benadryl or two.

raiyon 2004-01-16 10:36:00 ET there are alot of insomniacs round these boards...fear not if you cant sleep at least u'll have lots of company! and heroin alwyas makes me fall asleep...try it! lol

Atronoch 2004-01-16 20:34:50 ET hahaha yessss smoking herb is fun... i tried but it doesn't help because i always wanna draw or carve or paint or write or uh this actually

Atronoch 2004-01-16 20:36:00 ET last thing to put me to sleep was drinkin like a 1/2 gallon of vodka to myself in an hour god i turned into a robot that night he
