If you cant sleep after 36 hours you might want to go to the doctor so he can give you some pills that help you sleep.

classical music, if you're not into it

what I try to do is take deep breathes and just focus on the sound of my breathing kind of like meditating

I just pretend im sleeping and then, i sleep

watch streams til i pass out

force yourself to lay down and close your eyes without opening them and you'll definitely fall asleep by at most an hour

Melatonin is an OTC sleep aid that is very effective. It isn't really a drug that your body can become dependent on as it is a naturally secreted hormone.

Melatonin is great, but it really is a drug to some degree. I used it for about a year straight when I was a freshman, and I became totally dependent on it. I could not sleep without it. It felt really good to get off it. Gotta use it in moderation.

I've been trying to figure that sleeping part for over a decade :(

yea no sane person would do that

i watch crowns vs. lego on reckoner

you gotta pretend you're asleep, like there's a monster behind you and if you move its gonna get u

its gotta be dark, its gotta be quiet, and you gotta believe there's a monster

binge watch tv series till i pass out

just stay awake, until you are sleepy (like to the point your eyes hurt) then sleep
it's not like you aren't able to function on less sleep and you will be tired earlier the next night.

Clonazepan or melatonin

have a wank

MELATONIN 10MG and PODCAST

I have a noise machine that plays white noise, and then I just lie down.

Usually though I'm just tired from working all day.

smoke a good indica

Exercise more in the day & don't stare at screens all night

Naturally secreted hormones are what you become dependent on, because you're already dependent on them.

It's a really good sleep aid but you shouldn't use it constantly for a long time.

OP, you should see a doctor, 36 hours without sleep is not normal and could be caused by one of a hundred potentially easy to fix things.

I do something boring like reading a book

personally, I close my eyes

listen to the same music playlist each time so when u hear the music u know its time to sleep

That's not right, your body will in fact stop producing melatonin if you take it for too long (usually around 2 weeks to a month), same with the majority of hormones

I find that I'm mostly completely unable to sleep in a 'normal' way since I was about 11, what I find helpful is sound, like white noise, or you can just play something relaxing, I use a 1hr loop of thunderstorm noises and that helps me- 2nd, lavender scent, like a diffuser or something, next to the bed, or sprayed onto the pillow is relaxing. Then finally I always stretch before getting in bed.

But sleep troubles can be caused by a lot of different things, if you're not anxious or stressed you might not find it helpful.

wow these methods make me realize how lucky i am that i can just lay down and be sleeping within 5 minutes. that really sucks dudes

update: I just woke up so based on that it's safe to assume i slept :D Figuring I got about 9 hours so I might still try to sleep some more to get back some of what I lost but I feel 10x more sane now feelsgoodman

Turns out my muscles were super tense and I passed out while doing a stretch on the floor lol
