Has anyone got any advise on how to turn ones sleeping around?

Editted because someone I know may be snooping about reading my posts.

I suppose I'm just going to lay down my head and count sheep.

Good night...

I heard that shaking babies usually gets them to quiet down

It's 4am on a Saturday and the regular crowd shuffles in...

If you're really serious about sleeping and not just joking or venting here, my wife gives me jujube extract in a pre-boiled and filtered pouch. It works surprisingly well, but not in the medicinal high of taking it and then konking, but in a mellow way.

I'm actually grading papers and working now actually, but she has given up on me being able to sleep regular hours long ago.

I can't seem to grade papers in short jaunts, so I have to regularly stay up to get caught up. The irony is that I apparently suck at teaching anything else but composition, so the late nighters stay.

On a side note, Quinella, you seemed to have mellowed with terse posts of late. I liked it when you, Gongroguru, and that one dude with the woodsie avatar (then later this old version of him) shooting your mouths off.

Wha happened?

Not sure about melatonin and breastfeeding, but it's pretty useful for resetting your sleep patterns.

IF that's out, I find reading, in a quiet and mostly dark room helps

Counting sheep doesn't work. It's so boring you start thinking about other things.

After you have an orgasm, they say your body releases some kind of depressant that makes you extremely sleepy......

Sorry to get all practical, but...

I really like the lavender "calming" baby bath. I mean for myself, not for babies. It totally conks me out. Maybe you could both bathe in it together.

Drink milk. Seriously, it helps you fall asleep.
