Just rub one out

Take a shot. Masturbate. Profit.

Don’t drink alcohol before bed? How do you drink it after you go to bed, sounds messy? Surely you don’t mean drink it after we wake up, that would be irresponsible. Some of us have kids virtually learning, or have to drive to work, jeez. 😜

maybe unlikely, but I just read that apples. because they are so good at making you focus, they really wake you up. so apples too late in the day can keep you up as well.

Why they attacked the innocent pregnant woman? They are terrorists not polices .

So start drinking in the morning is what I’m getting here ....

10. Drink bottom shelf tequila until you pass out

Well, beating your meat is clearly 1 in the sleep power rankings so this list is obviously trash.

Just say yourself, it doesn’t matter if I sleep or not. I will get through day regardless. Then think about sex. It works every time.

Has anyone tried this? Does it work?

My psych professor always told me: to cure insomnia try to think of random words, the less connected the better. Pineapples, dog tags, flintstones, basketball, handbag, windshield, kangaroo...and so forth; I can crash within 5 minutes. You force your mind to relax, brain hack.

Army started burning town and arresting anyone they see in the street just 1 hr ago. In Myaik, southern Myanmar.

I can’t sleep thinking about Joe bombing innocent people and men will now be able to piss in the girls bathroom. Open invitation for pedophiles.

You always know you're going against a strong argument when the person blocks you after a perfectly cordial exchange.

it doesn´t work ... to be honest!

I’ve been having trouble sleeping since platformed the Proud Boys. You know, the white supremacists who have tried and are actively trying to overthrow the government.

9. Watch an NHL game from the beginning on until you start to fall asleep again

Qanon is a RUSSIA/IRAN thing! they are using the same KGB techniques as in eastern europe since the 1950s!

Muy complicado, coge un libro y oblígate a leer hasta que te quedes dormido-a.

Repeat all again...

Avoid clock watching? Also, get up after 20 mins of clock watching?

Try to NOT THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT NAZIS AND KLANSMEN ARE OKAY... N GO TO SLEEP BC YOU WONT... SO ALL THAT WAS A WAIST. AND STOP GIVING AIRTIME TO PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO LIE AND YOU KNOW ARE GOING TO LIE ABOUT THE INSURRECTIONISTS. THIS IS WHY WE DONT WATCH YOU ANYMORE.

Masturbation

Um, how do u know 20 minutes has gone by if ur not looking at a clock?

To fall asleep does not require such complicate tasks. You simply try/force to 'void everything' in your mind/thinking or head after closing your eyes in bed. Listen to a story from your audiobook or youtube story can help clear your mind too.

BUY ÐOGECOIN

I usually just slam my head on my pillow and hope it knocks me out again

Or stop making people conform to Boomer hours. Some of us have different circadian rhythms.

8 ways to make sure you focus on the fact that you're not sleeping. And therefore useless.

don’t drink alcohol lmao

That sounds dumb AF. It's different from person to person. Can't wait to see how many alcohol is bad vs alcohol is good B.S. y'all talk about this year. My bet is 3 good and 2 bad.

From have a smoke spliff leave on the ash tray that's the remedy to wake up at nights problems.

Get up after 20 minutes is ridiculous for anyone with a job or other responsibilities! If I get up, I’m for sure not sleeping then ruined with fatigue sickness till I do sleep. It routinely takes an hour for sleep to come! And missing sleep regularly leads to an early death.

Try one of the phoe apps with relaxing sounds....rain, wind, crackling fire.

This is what investigative journalism is all about ✊🏻

I can’t sleep
