    Unfortunately, getting drunk is not an option (religious restrictions). But taking notes from everyone's, I went on climbing more or less 500 stairs to a public spot, watched sun rise, took coffee that my mom made me and slept (yeah my brain in wrongly wired :laugh: ). Point is, I managed to sleep for sometime and that's all I care right now ;P

    Alcohol may put us to sleep, but the sleep is often not restful, so it's not the best option (even if it was an option for you). You might try a weighted blanket. My son suffered from insomnia and he says the blanket makes a huge difference. 5 Best Weighted Blankets - Aug. 2019 - BestReviews[^]

      Good for you. I don't drink for health reasons. Is it possible you were really sleeping and dreaming you were awake? ;P

          So it's been days since I got a proper sleep and now been 48 hours with no sleep at all. :confused: Since I'm running out of options now so here's the question for y'all....What do you do when you're stressed and tired but just can't sleep for no apparent reason? :|

          Go see a doctor. Might be more serious than you think.

            Last time I had that problem, it was because my boss was pushing me to finish a project well ahead of time. After working Friday morning through Sunday night with no sleep, I finished the project. He still complained. So after a good nights sleep, I waited until payday, got my check, cashed it at the local branch of the back it was drawn on, then turned in my resignation. The company had a habit of keeping your last check if you quit, so I turned that around on them. I also handed over evidence to the customer (a state Corrections agency) where billing for my team had been padded by my boss with a lot of extra hours that no one worked. After all, sooner or later, it would have been discovered, and I did not want to be blamed for it. I moved on and they paid a hefty fine to avoid prosecution.

                    I use audiobooks (or podcasts, youtube streams etc.) I started out trying a self-hypnosis cd from Paul McKenna which sort of worked and then discovered just having an audiobook on at a lowish volume worked - I still wake up during the night but quickly fall back asleep. The only issue is losing your place in the book and so you end up listening to the same chapters over and over LOL

                      Absinth? Talk about an old school sleep remedy. lol.. Why not just take a few drags of some good quality reefer? I find it helps a few ailments, including sleep. :)

                        I get on my elliptical and do a 30 minutes run at high resistance. Getting tired physically relieves stress a lot.

                          Eat a healthy meal, drink water and go for a 30 minute walk. Listen to music while you do and don't really think about anything important. It's important to let go of your stress and not hold onto it for days on end. Developers often use stress as a motivator to get stuff done, but that's also super unhealthy. My own appendix exploded because I did that too and I nearly died. If you're still in your early 20's you should be fine though.

                          If we were having an in-person conversation I would have said something like "It's not death but life that scares me" (in a very dramatic way) :-D Well, yes I'm in my early 20's but can stress double my age. LOL ;P

                            I'm in my early 30's now and I really can't do that anymore. :laugh: Just make sure there's some long-term benefit to what you're doing right now. If you're doing this for a manager, you should probably start looking for a healthier work environment. Managers who don't consider your health are objectively bad at their job. :rolleyes:

                                Valerian Root from the local health food store puts me out. In addition, meditation helps relieve stress.

                                  Well, you obviously need to lose the stress somehow. Take a couple of days off. Leave the phone at home. Bring a backpack and a tent for a long weekend in the mountains. Or visit your grandparents farm, or whatever works for you.

                                  This is a really good answer to this. Get away and shut off things that cause stress.

                                    A bit of indica helps. After a hard day, I take some before bed. Takes the edge off, and keeps you from thinking about stuff while lying in bed. Also, you don't wake up groggy the next morning.
