yconic is the place where you can give and get the help you need for your life as a student. To help keep our community an enjoyable, helpful and safe place for all members, please adhere to the following guidelines.
1. Be nice to people. It's okay to provide constructive criticism, but there is no need to insult other members. For example, "X major is over-saturated right now. You might have trouble finding a job" is fine. "Your major is dumb. Have fun working in fast food," is not helpful nor appropriate.
2. Ask actual questions. If you're looking for help with something, titling a thread "HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" isn't going to appeal to the members that may be best suited to help you. Be specific and title your post with relevant information.
3. Don't abuse the anonymous feature by pretending to be multiple people. Surprise, surprise, we know who posts what :)
4. Please only tag relevant interests when you create a new thread. Adding unrelated interests is unlikely to get you the help you're looking for and can frustrate other members.
5. Avoid spamming. This includes replying to your own thread for the sole purpose of moving it up the discussion feed.
6. Don't expose other people's personal information. If someone is posting anonymously, please respect their privacy.
7. If you see something you don't like, click the 'Report' button in the post menu and a moderator will review it. Please avoid commenting on inappropriate posts as this only encourages them.
8. Did a post help you? Click the "Was this post helpful?" button to help us recognize our most helpful members and so that other people will know the response was...you guessed it, helpful!

So, we're all stressed, right? During the school year, this stress causes me an immense amount of trouble sleeping. Any tips or tricks that could help me get more sleep more efficiently?? Anyone else have this problem?
If stress prevents you from falling asleep on time, I recommend you set yourself a bedtime earlier than you normally plan to fall asleep. If you can't normally fall asleep by midnight, try going to bed by 11:00 p.m. That way, you can just concentrate on trying to fall asleep. Think peaceful thoughts and don't think about anything too hard. You can try eating some seeds or walnuts before going to bed as they can make you more relaxed.
If it's just regular school stress, I watch tv right before bed. If it's midterm/exam stress, I get into bed at like 10pm and usually fall asleep around 11:30-12am.
The best stress relief strategy for me is to go whack the crap outta a ball. I play squash or tennis (depending on the season). The relief of hitting the ball relieves stress, and exerting so much energy makes it easier to fall asleep at night. In addition, it's just a good idea to get a sport into your life for personal health and well-being.
Do this regardless of the time of year. I take the evening before tests and exams to relax (AKA do NOTHING to prepare) because I find it gives my brain adequate time to integrate the information without going on overload.
I like doing any sort of physical activity. It lets me release a lot of stressful energy (I play rugby) and when I get home I'm super tired so I sleep great.
1) Watch TV/youtube/whatever. Make sure it isn't too action packed or something that will keep you awake, but something that is entertaining to watch that you could nod off to.
2) Turn off everything. Lie down comfortably and try to not move. Try to lie perfectly still and not move a muscle, even if you itch, ignore it. Try to be frozen. This technique usually is my last resort. The challenge of not itching your body, or moving keeps my mind distracted enough not to think of my stress and i'll fall asleep in under an hour.
Stress does effects are sleep but its up-to you to find a solution . I go to 15 minute running which really help me destress .I used to stick to a same regime for sleeping and getting up . Try following this .
I've had similar problems in the past, and here's what I've found: make a list of the things you need to do. Know that it is a complete list. Then, when you go to bed you don't feel as if you need to hold everything in your head at once; it's on paper and will be waiting for you in the morning. That way, you can let go. Tell yourself that worrying now (while in bed) isn't accomplishing anything. It can all wait for tomorrow.
Most of the time on school days, I end up waking up early to get to school and then after school I do school work. Sometimes it goes through into the night time. By then I'm worn out and ready to get to sleep.
But since it was summer I usually read a book or went on the computer until I was tired enough to sleep.
My parents used to say that when you take a shower (washing you hair as well) it makes you tired. I don't know if it's true though.
A warm glass of milk. Sometimes I'll read a really heavy book, like an encyclopedia or the Guinness world records book. When my arms get tired, usually my body does too. :p

I've heard that a warm glass of milk is not the best in your attempts to sleep. It all depends on the person, but here's what I've read; protein in milk keeps you alert and the fat in milk (if the milk isn't skim) slows digestion and makes sleeping more uncomfortable.
