What do I buy for sleeping at tournaments (pills, allergy things?)

[ADHD]

I ONLY lose to people when I don't get the full 8 hours of sleep before tournaments, and I can't prove it because I've been having alot of trouble sleeping lately because I'm excited/biological weirdness. Help?

Try reading a dictionary front to back before you go to bed.

I have insomnia.

before i went to the doctor, i ususally was self-medicating with benadryl, nyquil, any allergy or NIGHTITME cough syrup. Turkey helps. It might be different in the states though i dunno brand names and stuff. worst case smoke a fat j to you're face and burnt out

nyquil does the trick for me or advil. i usually take an advil before bed if i have any sort of anxieties and it puts me right out. also lactose helps as well so some warm milk and cheese could put u out as well.

This is a huge problem for me, more so because my sleep schedule is "Stay up until 4-6AM". It sucks, wish I could find a way to acquire prescription sleeping pills. Good luck on figuring it out, ADHD.

How much does nyquil cost?

 

[Mike2]

I use this whenever I can't sleep. Works amazing.

My advice is to at least attempt the natural route first, because you really can't rely on medication to always help you.

First of all, avoid staring intensively at a screen that emits bright light for at least an hour before bed. (eg. playing computer or video games) Bright light, especially florescent light, really diminishes the production of natural melatonin, which you need to fall asleep. If you can, its best to do something relaxing in dim light or even complete darkness if possible at for at least 30 minutes before you go to bed. To not get bored, I enjoying doing problems from math contests, but what is considered "relaxing" is different for everyone.

During the day, exercise and get lots of natural sunlight outside. They both help with sleep at night, not only by making you tired but also by increasing serotonin and decreasing stress hormones in general.

Also, avoid the obvious stuff like no caffiene, no alcohol, etc.

I guarantee that this will help you fall asleep, but if you feel its not enough, take an over the counter melatonin supplement once per day before bed.

Good luck.

3-6 bucks based on size also gotta be 18 to purchase i believe

LOL wyatt, i'm sure thats not the only reason you lose to people

 

[VonDarkmoon]

Also if any of the issue is noise, earplugs are a really nice choice.

but usually something that helps me sleep is finding a nice relaxing song to listen to while laying down.

/50% agree. It's a big reason, believe me.

Garlic.

Don't bash it till you've tried it, it legit helps.

*EDIT* Nothing special. Just eat it raw.

Oh I get it! Then when you smell your breath you pass out?

 

[Ingulit]

I find the fact that the player named "ADHD" is asking this ironic

 

[SaveMeJebus]

try counting sheep

this might help:

if you can't get it the natural way, go see a doctor. you might be able to get some prescription stuff.

or try your local pharmacy, a pharmacist can help you choose over the counter medication.

 

[Psychoace]

.................weed

 

[Supreme Dirt]

... No.

You see, Garlic is a natural blood thinner.
Blood thinners help you sleep, but prescription ones can be VERY VERY DANGEROUS.
Seriously, Garlic is the only way I sleep anymore.

Why are we still discussing this? This had nothing to do wi th diddy himself. This should have been locked already. ADHD should be banned from smashboards because he spams character boards with useless topic like these which derail us from having a good discussion over diddy and his metagame

 

[Vega4]

Just read something you find reaaallyyy boring...

i know theres actually sleeping pills you can buy in walmart off the shelf.. Not sure if theres a age limit but yeah. Just check there. they knock you out ~30 minutes. Forget the name however. and it was like 12 dollars for a bottle.

I stay up all night once, then went to sleep at like 9 am, woke at 7 pm, took one at 9 pm, and had a full nights sleep. so only stayed awake 2 hours. Not a productive day though =P
