BOF Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 Good advice there MakemineVanilla. I'd also add that if you are struggling to sleep and your evening time is on the empty side, go for a walk or do something that might tire you in some way. You might simply be going to bed with too much energy left in you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Stay up until you're really tired, the just when you think "I'm going to bed" empty your testicles of semen. Best nights sleep ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2015 When people post "has he gone yet?" in threads about players/managers who might be on their way out. My personal 'favourite' is when people ask why a thread hasn't been locked when there's absolutely no reason for it to be locked other than the fact that they themselves are bored clicking in it. Yep. That's right up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 On a related note and on topic. Brushing your teeth immediately before bedtime. Just at the point where you're tired and manage to drag yourself up the stairs, you have to go and brush your teeth which is a vigorous enough exercise that it wakes you completely the f**k up again. Grrr. The trick, I think, is to brush them after your final meal but well before bedtime. That way you can fall into bed exhausted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I usually never brush my teeth before bedtime, but I did last night because I had garlic bread so potent, it could melt steel bars. Is it trampy that I don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 When you wake up your breath must smell like a buffalo's arm pit Yea but I brush them in the morning.. like everyone else? I would make more sense to brush just after dinner, rather than an arbitrary time like before bed, then just when you get up. I brush my teeth if I'm going out too, so pubs and stuff, it's all good.

Ikantcpell Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Not being able to sleep, anyone got some good advice on how to deal with it ? Do not nap in the evening. Do not imbibe caffeine drinks late at night. Go to bed at the same time every night. Do not try to match your sleep time with your partner's. Set up a going to bed ritual of doing certain little jobs, which you will learn to associate with going to bed. Don't do anything in bed except sleeping, no watching TV etc. Try not to get anxious about not sleeping. Count in your head if you have distracting thoughts. The biggest cause of sleep disturbance is shift work. I always take alittle nap after ive been to the gym and i love watching TV in bed, has done so for 15 years, noway i can stop that.

BOF Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 The point of brushing your teeth before bed is not to have nice breath in the morning. It's about bacteria and the fact the wet warm mouth complete with bits of food in it is the ideal breeding ground for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 i love watching TV in bedOoh I hate that. It's so wrong. JMHO. I'd never have a TV in the bedroom.

Had some Pringles Sunday in between multiple tugging myself off sessions, brushed my teeth before bed, woke up about 4am and could actually feel my tongue stuck onto the back of my throat with the stuff on the pringles acting as a kind of glue and I'd to like pull it off (tongue not the other thing).

Now I'm well up for lying on the couch and watching telly, but once I'm in bed that's it. agreed. My bedrooms is a sanctuary of peace and sleeping. Black-out curtains. No TV, no artificial light except for one small dim display of time on my alarm clock. So my body knows when it enters the bedroom that this is the place to unwind and go straight to sleep.

Stevo985 Posted July 21, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2015 These days I find it almost unsettling going to sleep without something on. TV, radio, music, podcast, laptop anything. I don't even watch or listen to whatever it is. It's just on. Helps me zone out and I'm asleep in seconds. Alone with my thoughts is much more restless than having something on. I've also never understood the blackout thing. I could sleep outside in bright daylight if I wanted to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
