i know it sounds stupid, but i havent been able to sleep properly for couple of weeks now,ive tried a few things. not a fan of sleepin pills tho. to no avail

No probs mate, you can also try a night light, this might sound stupid, but pitch black sends your mind into overdrive and wandering with thoughts and images. The eyelids being slightly lit can help stop that and if you open your eyes you see something in the room that stops your mind from whiring round while pitch black. It can help to decrease anxiety when your brains in overdrive in the pitch black.

 

ill try my lava lamp tonite then?

maybe drinking too much tea is the problem - try changing to a decaf tea or something like red bush. try and get a massage off the missus before you try to get to sleep (or maybe that's what's keeping you up :x: )
