I can't sleep, help me (I'm sick)

[[5.SS]Strother]

What's a good way to get some sleep, I'm really congested and when I lay I drain and my throat gets scratchy and my nose becomes irritated, anyone have any remedies?

*yeah I'm bored so what, this thread is still better than 90% on this forum*

Sink your head into a couch. The pressure from all sides should help.

Warm oatmeal with honey. Soothing, yummy, and...soothing.... >>


Or the couch thing. That would probably totally work. Stick a few straws in your mouth though so you can breath, like reeds.

If you can

Yeah, I'm just waiting till I crash. I have finals wednesday, Thurs and Friday so I can't keep doing this. I need to keep downing the OJ and vitamens.

Ahh, in that case if you really have to keep a sleep schedule, I honestly suggest a benadryl. Full strength deally, not that whole 'no doze formula'. I don't typically take medications, but if I have to get to sleep, a benadryl will knock me right out. Good luck with the finals

drugs work well, especially tylenol PM. My wife just bought an air filter for our bedroom because she gets the same symptoms, the thing works wonders!

The only downside is that they aren't cheap; $50 - $100, and you HAVE to keep the windows closed while it's on, but I've noticed a huge difference in the air quality in the room.

Drugs work for 1 or 2 nights, this thing will help for months.

Drink Rye, will clear that right up

Look in your drug store or grocery store for "Shower Soothers," which is menthol you drop into the bottom of your bathtub while you're taking a shower. They're like ... $7 for 5 tablets or something, but nothing will make you feel better. It'll help loosen all that crap up.

 

[sharpshooterklj]

Just OD on Benadryl, or pop a few Vicoden pills. Either way, that will make you drowsy as ****.

 

[panzerknacker]

drink jagermeister til you feel nice and medicated, then watch some stupid movie they have on at 2am that is always amusing.

 

[Jules]

Weed does it. Quarter of a gram past ten o'clock and you'll sleep in five minutes if you lay down.

 

[Shepherd]

How about some *gasp* ... work?

 

[Bong]

Ah man all these ppl taking these crap chemicals, god knows what they do to you. Jagermaister, a hot shower is all you need. Call me old fashioned if you want. And umm no dont get drunk on the stuff, that wont help you.

Since you're sick, what does it matter? Just stay awake until you pass out. I don't know a formula for getting sleep. Alcohol works if there's enough of it. I personally try to stay away from chemicals - they can't do much good.

I've been struggling with sleeping problems myself too during the last few weeks. Many times I end up just laying on the bed, half-sleeping, half-awake, until my alarm clock kicks me up for another day of work. I'll get by by just being a total zombie for the entire day. I don't need much sleep - four, five hours of deep sleep is well enough, but not sleeping at all makes it really hard to make it through a day.
