I mean, I know not a damn one of you has a conscience. That isn't what I'm talking about.

I mean what do you do to actually fall asleep?

I had been drinking valerian root tea but my body just seems to have decided it won't be affected by that anymore.

I need sleep. Now.

If need be, I'll take yours. 🙁

I have bipolar disorder. One of the symptoms of bipolar disorder is having trouble sleeping. My medications for bipolar disorder greatly help with getting me to sleep.

Hell, for all you know, you may already have it. See a psychiatrist and see if they diagnose you with something.

If either of your parents are bipolar, it is highly likely you may be as well, as bipolar disorder is highly hereditary (my mom is also bipolar).

great.

my grandmother was bipolar.

I'd rather not have it though, so I guess I'll have to find another way to sleep.

Protip on falling asleep- try to stay awake.

About an hour before bed i begrudgingly stop inebriating myself.

Then i jump in the car and take a few spins around the block. Usually i'll nod off before i even get back to the driveway.

This is stupid and makes no sense.

Probably a good idea but what about those who don't drink in the first place? I don't drink and I'm pretty sure OP has quit drinking  due to being a recovering alcoholic.

This is stupid and by the way you describe it (usually nodding off before getting back to the driveway), sounds dangerous.

It absolutely makes sense, trying to stay awake always makes you tired. Thats how life works.

And it's not like i'm going out on the highway (except once or twice when i did fall asleep at the wheel and muscle-memory had me driving to work).

Just a couple times around the block, late at night.

Its a school zone so its not like anybody's speeding or anything.

So update- didn't actually make it around the block that last time, woke up this morning sitting in my car on the side of the road.

Great night of sleep that.

Why did sponges apologize? What kind of pussy whipped bullshit is that auto response?

You can thank his upbringing for that one, not a pussy whipped reaction. If anything I get mad at him for apologizing for everything.

My family has actually pushed him to be more outspoken. My mom within first 6 months of us dating: "just tell her to fuck off!". Hell when him and my dad are together it is insufferable, two smartass peas in a pod.

I don't really do opiates anymore.

Naw, that's the name of the pills - 'Sleep Better' . Hippies are in charge of naming things there apparently.

Contains skullcap, valerian, ashwagandha, passionflower, and hops. Takes a couple of days to really kick in to where I will fall asleep within 20 minutes of taking them. Then I'll take them for a few days more on that schedule before stopping for a bit. I basically use them to help re-establish a disrupted sleep schedule when I've been having trouble staying asleep. 

It does cause some really funky dreams that tend to kick in shortly before my alarm goes off though.

1. If I lie down face first on my pillow for a few minutes, I will conk out.

2. Running out of spoons. Spoon Theory summary: People with chronic illnesses start the day off with a large handful of spoons, we lose a few spoons for different activities, and when we run out, our bodies go to shit. I will literally pass out where I stand if I'm moving about when spoons are in the negative range(did too much shit and threw away some of the next day's spoons). 

3. An ounce or two of gin(usually in a cocktail). 

4. Reading a boring book.

5. Being too cold.

6. Being too hot.
