Question:
Help! I stayed up for 24 hours and now im tired...cant sleep?
Last night I stayed up the whole night, because there was alot of my mind and I just couldn't sleep, so I got up and talked to a friend of mine on the computer, and never got tired. Now it's been 31 hours since I've been away and I'm tired. It's only 5:30 pm and I can't go to sleep untill atleast 11 tonight because I have to be up early tomorrow morning and If I go to bed now I'll be up in the middle of the night and be really tired tomorrow.
Anytips on staying awake?
Answers:
since your body could use "rest" either way... you should take a short 30 minute nap. by staying up another 6 hours may make you feel sick. take a nap, eat a healthy meal, do something relaxing (not enough to put you to sleep) that will not increase your chance of irritability due to lack of sleep, avoid caffeine... yes, it keeps you amped, but at 11pm when you come off of the high you won't be able to sleep soundly.
what ever is on your mind - write it in a journal and come back to it tomorrow or the day after...
right before you sleep tonight, take a warm shower/bath, use some lavender (essential oil or sachet) as an aromatherapy aide to relax your mind and go to sleep. avoid any noise - t.v., phones, radio, etc.
