I've never been a fan of medicine(other then medicinal weed) so I'm not too keen on taking pills and shyt... I've tried the tylenols and nyquils but those don't even make me drowsy. Idkk what to do... It's been like this since I was 12... I get 4 hrs of sleep and feel fine but I do get sleepy midday. The problem is when I lay it down for the night my mind starts racing and I always end up wide awake. The only thing that can put me to sleep is the ganga but smoking and boxing doesn't mix well....

Any ideas?

In the same way you warm up for exercise, you've gotta cool and slow down for sleep.


The number one culprit is caffeine. It stays in your system for ages, so don't have any coffee from 1pm onwards.

No electronics in your room, or put it all on stand by. Don't watch tv before bed...have an hour or so winding down. Get all your stuff ready for the following day so youre not thinking about what's gott be done in the morning.

Keep lighting low in the house leading up to sleep. You literally should move slower, breath slower and do everything slower and more relaxed.

Physical activity helps too....as long as its not right before bed. Give your body a few hours to relax. Try a warm bath too...that helps me.

The right music can help too...but nothing stimulating. Whatever genre can relax you.


Also,carbs before bed get a bad rep, they can stimulate melatonin, which induces sleep, so a controlled portion isn't a bad thing.


All the things you do to get pumped up for exercise or whatever, you need to do the opposite for sleep.


Hope any of that helps.
