    Anyone else like to have music playing when they sleep, if so what?

    I myself like to put on some Björk. :zzz

    Working tends to help me :-D

    Actually a tv helps me sleep very well, unfortunately I don't have one in my bedroom so I fall asleep in front of it and then wake around 3 or 4am and go to bed, which results in crappy sleep.

    A fan blowing around in the room is like white noise and tends to sooth your feelings.

    A combination of Tim's and Fred's ought to do it.;)
    I don't usually have a problem sleeping, even with a late cup of coffee.

    This could be just because I like to have it my whole life. But fan blowing on my face and tv to listen too/watch. I recently had my mother ask me if I tried to drink few beers before sleeping. Since I really am the toughest person to go to sleep on time.

    Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey, or possibly of late Kopparberg Pear Cider (dangerous stuff as it doesn't taste of alcohol but is 4.5%) Hic!

    Does Booze really help you guys sleep? It puts me to sleep for a few hours and then I am up again...
    Going for a sleep study tonight, I cannot handle not sleeping anymore... and the herbs and tapes only do so much.

    Well, I live alone, so Wenchie's idea don't work for me :-D. Yeah, maybe a few single malt Scotches, and my usual sleeping and 'happy' pills. If I get at least three hours solid sleep, I can handle the next day. Less than that, it's just URRRGH!! :(

    There was a time when a good bottle of wine did it but that was a long time ago as i am now teetotal.
    I have not had a full nights sleep for years but i have some medication from the doc that helps a lot.

    No I was joking and for me while you could fall asleep via booze, its not great sleep as you will awake more tired or I feel I do.

    Best way to sleep is to become tired, and that could be due to workload, to exercising before sleep, but I feel our body clocks make us sleep when its needed, unless you have other issues that keep you awake, like having personal issues that keep the brain active and worrying over things, to locality and noise.

    Keep yer beer, yer wine and yer spirits. Pack away the orgasmatron. Tim, put yer pants back on. Best thing ever to help me sleep....listening to the wife prattling on and on and on about the most inane pile of pap ever to issue forth from the mouth of a human. I mean, who needs to hear of her problems? I've got plenty of my own......

    Tim's like father Christmas he can traverse multiple continents in a single night!

    You don't even have to be a good girl! Why pound your body with sleeping pills? Just post in this thread and Tim will come round read you a bedtime story.

    :-D

    I think I'll stick with a comfy pair of socks,I don't want Tim to visit me in the middle of the night.

    Last time he did I woke up wearing body armour next to some freedom fighters on C-130 heading for Libya.

    Another thing that also helps above and beyond everything when I need sleep (maybe even more than orgasms) is to curl up really close to a certain someone, tuck his arms around me, and then be joined by a loudly purring pair of cats on the bed...

    Nothing helps you sleep like that contented feeling of finally being able to relax and be perfectly safe. :)

    No Tim, I'm not talking about you :p
