Trouble Sleeping.... - Toyota Yaris Forums

kac · 08-21-2009, 01:43 AM

I just know I'm gonna have trouble sleeping tonight. Anytime I have slept in the past week I've been dreaming about my Yaris. Dreamt about changing the oil the night before I did that, and so on and so on....

Tomorrow is the car show, I have to get up SUPER early to get started on all the work I want to get done before the show, and I'll be at work tonight till at least 1am...

What should I do?
Swallow some tylenol PM and HOPE my alarm wakes me up to get my work done?
Start washing my car in the middle of the night?
Try sleeping in the car?

I dunno........

Booze, and lots of it

kac · 08-21-2009, 02:18 AM

Damn... I don't drink either...

Kioshi · 08-21-2009, 02:20 AM

If your cell phone can set multiple alarms, have 3 set to times varying 10 mins apart from each....

I do that all the time if i come home late from a house party/club...and have to wake up in less than 4 hours... >_<

SilverBack · 08-21-2009, 02:28 AM

You could just watch some Leno or Letterman. The boredom usually knocks me out

kac · 08-21-2009, 02:34 AM

Making a list of all the stuff I have to do tomorrow, maybe lookin' at it will be enough to make me pass out.

Kioshi · 08-21-2009, 02:39 AM

a glass of chocolate milk perhaps? I'm tryin to think of all the stuff that has put me to sleep, aside from 8 straight shots of tequila....

take a long hot shower, yeah!

You Either
A) Force yourself in bed... which sucks and usually doesnt work too good
B) Watch a movie that you have seen a bunch of times. It usually does the trick when it doesnt have too much action
C) Drink some 5 hour energy drinks or NOS power shots and stay up for the next 24+ hours
D) Find a friend to come to your house and wake u up at the time needed

thanks for all the help... we'll see what happens now....

PETERPOOP · 08-21-2009, 02:48 AM

give us your cell # and we will all call you when you want to wake up.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-21-2009, 02:48 AM

Got some Ativan? LOL. If not, don't drink anything that has sugar in it, so that includes warm milk. I've read on Yahoo that counting backwards from 300 by three's (300, 297, etc) should clear your mind of what's bothering you, so it'll put you to sleep. hahahaha.

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-21-2009, 02:50 AM

If you're planning on doing that 5-Hour, eat some carbs with some fat before hand. If not, then the energy blend (fat and carb enzymes I believe) won't have anything to break down for energy. I ate before I drank a bottle once, and it kept me up for 13-hours straight.

Damn, i wish you would've mentioned that earlier on here, couldn't sleep the whole past week....

TheRealEnth - i thought i was the only one that set that many alarms

Kaotic Lazagna · 08-21-2009, 04:38 AM
