these are the things i have gathered from reading this thread while half asleep in my first class.

1 i need to exercise more. i know i should do a bit more but i dont have the time to Exercise , Do shit for my youtube, and do school work all in the hours of 3pm - 10.


to answer thgat thing about the 24 hour gym i wish i could do this but the closest gym is like a 1 hr ride from where i live. it takes 30 mins to get to town and it would by estimation be another 30 mins to get to that side of town. some mornings i use to walk around the block (4 am - 430 am) but as in the winter months getting out of bed is very regretable.so this inst a viable option.

2nd thing i got from this is a healthy diet and trust me i have a awesome diet with my mum as a awesome chef and step dad who can make some awesome Asian Style foods, plus having lots of home grown veges and fruit is epic.


also about the doctor
we went last week and still waiting for the results. (this was for falling unconcius 3 times of 6 months . they are looking into all the things that may have caused it. i believe it is because of major sleep deprivation. but ive had some ex rays , blood tests, and some heart shit .

so conclusively i think it is as some say for they a anxiety thing. i generaly hate school because im not doing well. but every day i make the full day i go home sleep from 3 - 4 then am up all night.
and end up not going to school the next day.
i know this might be weird to some me just opening up like this but seriously i want to find out what the problem is and this thread has helped me thanks

oh and some of the stress comes from me failing at tasks given to me eg i did a terrable cast for a Esport team. this made me angry at my self . yet i could do the HSL ones with ease. also same thing happened with school i failed at making a english (australian story like program ) some shit about adolescence . sorry this is going on but when i get sick i think i go down mentaly as well .....

You say you have no time to exercise. Exercise can take as little as 15 minutes a day. When I was really inactive and had a terrible sleep schedule staying up until 9am some nights I eventually got sick of it and started doing short exercise routines most nights.

2x20 pushups, if you can't do this many do as many as possible properly then the rest on your knees.
2x50 situps.
2x20 bicep curls - If you don't have dumbells just do something like squats or lunges (youtube them if not sure how to)

That can be done in 15 minutes easily and would burn enough energy and use enough muscles to untense my eyes and brain and relax me so I could sleep much easier.

As for diet absolutely agree with Neko's post it has great advice about no snacking in the evenings. However it sounds like you have a great diet and am envious I wish I ate more fresh fruit and vegies!

As you said it sounds like it's anxiety related and doing a bit of exercise will help somewhat but I doubt it will remove the root of the problem. I'm no expert in this stuff except but once again from my experiences I always found 23Nemesis' "write it all down on a piece of paper" each night to be great once i finally managed to motivate myself to do it. I would write out my whole dilemma and categorise and organise it into what I could do about it, and plan what I had to simply forget about, and what I had to get done on what days. Once it's on the paper and I know when I have to do it all I would then push it from my mind and find sleep somewhat easier.

Another thing is what Zain and some others have said about overstimulating yourself. I've personally known people who say "I can't sleep" and yet only try for 5 minutes and then hop back onto the internet, play games or eat junk food/soda. Now obviously your situation is more intense then this but be aware that the internet, games and such are all the opposite of what you should be doing. In late adolescence I had serious problems sleeping and I taught myself 'meditation' techniques where I would force myself to lie flat on my back in the same position and then basically speak to myself in my head. I would run through a scene where my voice was telling me that I was on a warm beach, lieing in the sand and would describe the warmth of the sand and how comfortable it was and describe little pleasurable things about my surroundings. I think beaches have always been one of my favourite place and to me it's like my happy place being alone on a deserted warm beach. I would then tell myself to focus on one part of my body at a time and to feel it melt like liquid into a state of relaxation. I've always looked up to myself and taken what I've said very seriously. So I would listen to my own voice talk myself to sleep... all in my head.

Hmm... that actually sounds a lot more crazy then it actually was! But the idea is you control your mind and your body. And if you learn the right methods you can manipulate and steer it through certain methods.

P.S. Get a massage, they rock. If too pricey get one from a massage school for free or 1/10 the price
