The official FML late night study/work thread.

This thread is for all those who are having a late night(studying/work/against their will) or just cannot sleep...
Just leave your famous last words here on such a night so that the brothers know why you are missing in action the next day and to just vent about the shit keeping you from your much loved sleep...

I'll go first...

why on earth do I fuck myself over so much with procrastination...FML
Im not gonna sleep before this test tommorow!

00pump, you are good with personal issues, plaese tell me one day how to change my ways...
good night!

P.S deadgoat I'll be waiting for your smartass comment on this... but I'll be waiting for your FML post in the early hours of thursday morning!!! MUAHAHAHAHA! :evil:

When the sub conscious mind takes control (especially when we trying to get to sleep) it is a difficult beast to tame, but there are ways… Most of they require time and effort, I have suffered sleeping disorders for most part of my adult life. Using drugs to aid in this is only counterproductive, as we just build up a tolerance or further damage our sleep pattern by taking medication.

If you a religious man, I find chanting a manta over and over really helps, as that is all your brain starts to focus on and eventually you drift off. If you not try chamomile tea and if you need something with a slight extra calming effect add 2 or so rescue.

Another great trick for sleep is cardio in the afternoon; I find that really knocks me out... Or even a bath with bubbles and candles and hour before bed, you don’t want to do this too close to bed or you won’t sleep.

All computer equipment should be shut down (not just on suspend) and maybe use some white noise, like a fan on a low speed so you drift off... I also find using calming ocean sounds works wonders, either you can put on some headphones or just listen to it on a cd player or tape deck if you that old

Your bed should be used for nothing else other than having sex and sleeping, not to lie and watch TV or movies. If you don’t sleep within 30 min, don’t panic just get up, put on the light, and either read for 5 minutes (not study material) something boring but at the same time, maybe something fictional, then try go back to bed… If that doesn’t work “relieve yourself” or better yet if you have a party get them to take control, that also helps most guys nod off

Anyway, got many more other ideas, but try some of those and I’m sure you will take control of your thoughts and eventually pass out Oh ya, one last thing, no afternoon naps _ever_, before 1pm is still ok, I find anything over that and I’m too awake to sleep.

Good luck

Thanks for the above, bud, do you have advice on self discipline?
I used to make top honours at school... but at varsity I cant even look at the books... I hate my course...

@00pump great post, will remember the part about not using my bed to watch series and movies

@Tb thought you were done studying by now? Not the smartest move spending the whole day on the forum when you should be studying :lol: I'm one of those guys who'd rather sacrifice 10-15% of my mark than a night's sleep, no point in knowing everything when you can barely keep your eyes open in the exam

Still haven't found a way to get around procrastination, but I'm sure I'll figure it out tomorrow

What exactly don't you like about it and then we can take it from there, tell me what the entire course is about then tell me what you future plans are.
