Please someone help me figure out what's going on.
First a little background. I lived in a small town in Louisiana for the first 23 years of my life. I received a job offer in a different city that I couldn't pass up. My girlfriend was allready living in the same city so I moved in with her. I figured it was a good idea, sharing the bills and all. That was back in August.
Ever since I've moved in with her I haven't been able to get a full night's rest. I will sleep for an hour or two, then wake for no reason, stay up for another 45 minutes to an hour, and then back asleep to start the cycle again. Because this new, impressive job that I have is a corperate job, I don't do much. I sit at a computer all day and perform a whole lot of nothing. What I'm trying to get at is that it's not very physically challenging, but it's mentally hell.
When I get home in the evening, my brain wants to shut down but my body says different. So, what do I do? I work out, a lot. I do all of this so I can try to wear myself down. So far, nothing has worked.
If anyone has any ideas/suggestions/rape stories, please let me know.

goatcabin, disturbed sleep is one of the first symptom of overtrain. do you work out too much? when i do, i wake up every 2 hours for no reason as well.
if not, well, see a doctor or fuck your girlfriend some more. sleep hormones are released after ejaculation.

i'm sorry, let me rephrase that. work out in the morning, not at night. strenuous exercise before going to bed will make it harder to sleep.

Thanks for trying.....but contradicting yourself isn't gonna get me to sleep any faster, Dr. Phil.

rephrasing entails you say the same thing but in another way.
you didn't rephrase, you change your answer when you realize you were off topic.

Exercise, you worthless fuck.

he's right.
mental exhaustion causes sleepless nights, physical exhaustion causes restful ones more often.

I thought it was "If I can't cry I can't sleep". Oh well.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You're right, that is the line. But my problem isn't the inability to cry, now is it?

ask your girlfriend if you snore because if so then you mite be waking yourself up with lack of air, and then you could die from lack of air.

-This is what I really do to help me sleep...
-I smoke weed until I can't see straight. I've tried everything else and nothing helps me sleep better.
-Sometimes, it's very rare that I do, but sometimes I have to tug one off to help me relax.
If I didn't smoke weed I'd be torturously doing the midnight tossing and the turning till about 4 or 5. This doesn't work well for me as I have to be up at 6.
So I suggest you go downtown, look for some hippies/rastafarians, get a bag of some good weed and smoke the shit till your cross eyed. It really works. Atleast it works for me.

Snort cocaine right before you want to pass out then wait fifteen minutes. If you still feel wide awake after that snort some more.
repeat repeat repeat until desired effect is attained.

Drink warm milk, then listen to talk radio- something boring, such as sports you don't watch.
Start pulling pranks on people at work or something.

try fucking her before passing out.
--------------------------------------
Tried that. It just gets my heartrate going and I'm up even worse.
-----------------------
have her give you head and make a sandwhich, that puts me to sleep.
Plus stop reading or watching TV in bed, no naps, no caffiene after 5, and get up every day at the same time.

Maybe your not adjusting well to having someone sleeping next to you? I'd recommend getting a seperate bed.
--------------------------------
I understand what you're saying. But how exactly would I go about telling something like that to a 23 yr old woman??
-=-=-=
you say "im an insecure little dweeb who is so anxious having you in the bed next to me that i cant sleep. im going to get two twin beds so my infantile little insecurities can be killed along with our future. mmmkay?"
----------------------------------------
Good point Retro. Sorry Lizz, I'm not sleeping in another bed cause the slore snores like a man.

Do what I do. Go home, drink a bottle of Jimmy Beam. Then kick the wife and fuck the dog.
