How do you sleep?

[Beardo]

I've always had this problem where I simply cannot sleep. That's when I go on my iPod Touch and surf the net. Obviously, it only keeps me up longer. What to do??

I can't sleep either!!

What I do is text boring people and hope that I fall asleep waiting for a reply..

That sounds like a good plan. Actually, that's what happens. I chat, but then they go off topic, so I tell them gnite ttyl and go to sleep.

Hey, that's a good idea. Jazax. :X

Ah I have a hot bath and then I start to feel tired and sleepy. : )

It might work. Don't eat anything after 8PM, you will find it difficult to go to sleep.

[Faye]

If I'm tired I close my eyes and go to sleep, any time of the day or night for two or three hours. But I usually sleep days and stay awake nights (if I can).

Brother dont waste your time, who knows whats going to happen.

Recite Ayat-al-Kursi
-----
Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 61 :: Hadith 530

Narrated Abu Mas'ud:

The Prophet said, "If somebody recited the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqara at night, that will be sufficient for him."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah 's Apostle ordered me to guard the Zakat revenue of Ramadan. Then somebody came to me and started stealing of the foodstuff. I caught him and said, "I will take you to Allah's Apostle!" Then Abu Huraira described the whole narration and said That person said (to me), "(Please don't take me to Allah's Apostle and I will tell you a few words by which Allah will benefit you.) When you go to your bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi, (2.255) for then there will be a guard from Allah who will protect you all night long, and Satan will not be able to come near you till dawn." (When the Prophet heard the story) he said (to me), "He (who came to you at night) told you the truth although he is a liar; and it was Satan."

if you stay up late to the wee hours say around threeish.. make your fajr prayers and so on, set your alarm for 2-3 hours earlier than you'd normally get up.. say you sleep threeish and wake up tenish.. now sleep threeish and wake up sevenish.. now you've had only 4 hours of sleep.. make sure you do this on a day that you can afford to waste feeling foggy.. now, you'll be very tired the next day.. and drag yourself through the daily motions of the day.. but after isha'a exactly you go to bed.. and you'll be very tired and want to anyway at that stage.. the next day you'll find yourself wanting to catch up on some zz's and wake up at that old time you are accustomed to, but resist it and wake up at seven again.. you'll feel tired again thus it is best to do this on the weekened.. so now your body it beginning to shift gears.. again the same thing in the evening.. sleep at the same time you slept after isha'a and wake up sevenish.. in time your body at this stage will be accustomed to the new schedule . .. you can supplement your sleeping habit with du3a and then fall asleep right away insha'Allah...

I run on no more than 3-5 hours sleep on any given day so I am foggy all the time lol.. but your body will do what you train it to do.. rest and you rust.. so keep it a well oiled machine!

and Allah swt knows best

[alcurad]

also stay away from the computer screen, the light will wake you up more and more.

lol My mom tells me this she says the best way to fall a sleep is by having a very heavy dinner.

[Muhaba]

If I don't sleep right after Isha, I end up staying up all night. So now i try to sleep right after Isha. you should try it too, it might work.

[safiya0631]

pray durood shareef and you will fall asleep..it works for me

[GuestFellow]

I do 20 minutes of push ups before I go to sleep. It should make you tired and go to sleep...well doesn't work all the time but it does help.

[UmmHasan]

I recite Surah Tabarak and before I finish reciting it I am already asleep.

[- IqRa -]

Read 4 kul, aayat al kursi and Surah Mulk, u'll fall asleep in an instant inshaAllaah.
