I'm sleepless now. How could you bring yourself to sleep?

Sometimes I like to put on videos or podcasts that I've seen/heard before - I can't deal with silence and having a voice I can focus on helps me drift off...or drugs, it always comes back to drugs
Bourbon is nice for me...I need to try Scotch, I can't remember having it before
The only thing that's really effective for me is to masturbate, but I rarely do that because I rarely need to sleep when I'm not sleepy. I think that only works for guys, though, orgasming really takes a lot out of us. Otherwise, try telling your echo dot to play sleep music. Only works if you're subscribed to Amazon Music. Or you could listen to http://di.fm/chilloutdreams
This reminds me of the anesthesia gas (?) I inhaled before my surgery. The nurse told me to count to ten but I don't remember if I reached 10. It knocked me unconscious very quickly.

You usually also get an injection that simply lets you just count to two or three and afterwards they give you gas to let you sleep for longer.
My surgeon just said nothing and the gas guy (lol) injected Propofol said: Count to ten ( smirky smile as he knew you hardly reach 3) and off I was.
Propofol is the good stuff, no headaches, no vomiting, no fuzz. In the past they used other stuff that wasn't by far that good. When I was a nurse I often had young patients with nausea afterwards and elderly who had bad dreams all day long afterwards. Followed by headaches. After they gave me Propofol I was as good to go but my body didn't like the gas. I'm small and lightweight and they might have given me a bit of an overdose. When I awoke the doctor checking me appeared like a proncess to me.
Princess. lol. I instantly was impressed and attracted to her white teeth which was about the only thing visible since she did wear a mask and the other gear. I asked her: Did you since always have so beautiful teeth? And somebody out of sight asked if I was ok and she replied: Yes, she seems more awake than she should! lol.
I felt awkward and a bit embarrassed afterwards though she took it like the pro she was. Haha. It is not rare that people during the awaking phase have all sorts of sweet dreams and also less inhibitions. So I experienced women who admitted their eternal love to a doctor or male nurse, haha. Also sexual arousal is quite common. Nothing to feel ashamed about, nurses and ER staff experience everything imaginable. Usually these side effects go unnoticed by patients as they forget this after their next sleep.
As a nurse I have had several men proposing to me during that phase. I could have been ugly like a corpse and I would have appeared like a goddess to them I fear. haha. Just joking.
Proposing to you ?!! LOL! I think I was high when I first woke up. I remember laughing uncontrollably for some time but after that everything was good.
Sometimes I listen to sleep music I find on youtube
Thankfully I have medicine for that.
Watch the 10th kingdom. Super Long… if you don’t fall asleep at least you’ll be entertained.
I know people who watch massage asmr and it works well
Chamomile tea and some toast. Carbs make me sleepy.
Try a couple of push-ups or something.
I don't know if that gets the same amount of exertion... A massage may help.
Yeah, a brain massage. When you have a spinning wheel inside your mind that keeps you awake it shows that body and mind are one. Massage the mind first and the body will follow.

I found Scotch or red wine does the trick in mild cases for me. However there are cases that need staying up and writing.
