mouselle Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 There seem to be a significant number of posts about how Mika should get some more rest, so I decided to start this thread to give him the benefit of our collective wisdom. Any tips on how to get to sleep in a strange place, or on a plane etc would be great, so he can try a few for himself! My own tip is: Take your own pillow! With the amount of luggage that has to travel with you everywhere, one pillow won't make much of a difference, but there is great joy in sleeping on a consistent comfortable pillow. Anyone got any others? Please share with Mika! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 ...sleeping tablets? ...knocking yourself out with a frying pan? LOL. Sorry, this is the tiredness talking *haha how ironic* errrm. well. taking a bath before you go to bed is one way, but not very good if you're on a plane. errrrrm. i dont recommend counting sheep. it always somehow wanders off into a story. well it does with me anyway. ho-hum. I've no idea. Sleeping tablets it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasabi_tea Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I bought this CD about 6 years ago while I was in France on a school trip, and I've played it almost every night since then! It's so soothing and peaceful, and it just kinda lulls you to sleep. Very nice. Brian Eno's 'Music for Airports' also seems to have a similar effect.

violet_sky Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Well actually I don't really believe Mika has problems to get to sleep considering his busy schedule. I thing the problem is that he gets too little time to sleep at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ioana Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 sometimes if one`s too exhausted they really cant` fall asleep. Happens a lot to me,after some hard sessions at the pool I feel beat but can`t fall asleep. a friend once told me to close my eyes and picture a dark tunnel thru wich I am going at firtst at low speed than faster. It really puts you to sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 It's maybe childish and silly but what helps me to sleep when I lie awake and can't sleep because my thoughts are spinning in my head I listen to audiobooks. I love Mary Poppins, it always helps. Not kidding. That's my confession. (Can't be worse than the underwear...LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosinaKiwi Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 this might sound a bit weird but traditional chinese music turned down really low lie back close your eyes and you will wake up a few hours later, believe me it works better than any pill ive tried for sleeping! for a start the quality of sleep is better!

MIKAontheweb Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Read a calculus textbook! Always puts me right to sleep!!! But, in all seriousness, I do recommend reading something boring. Textbooks never fail to draw me into sleep...even when I should be studying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadygirl Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 i dont know if this will sound weird but i have a meditation tape and it plays really soothing music.. i got it for a grieving purpose but it was so soothing i almost fell asleep but i guess that was the purpose so i would get my mind off the person i was grieving.....
