Alright so lately i have been having some problems sleeping at night. Well for like the past 4 days. So since i don't sleep at night very well anymore I figure that I'd do something productive. But I would like some suggestions.

I practically live on this forum when I am on the computer trying to learn new stuff. Currently BSOD analysis. Which makes my brain hurt lol. So when I need a break from learning those, I would like something to do until I am able to get tired to sleep.

Here is what I am semi-good and really good at:

C# Programming - I'm decent
Web design(using forum systems, or CMS) - Pretty darn good.
Web design(starting from scratch(html, php, css, ect) - Decent
Module Development(for CMS's like nuke-evo) - Pretty darn good

So basically I can build websites and make programs. Photoshop, I have tried, It's just not me lol. So maybe a suggestion for a website, orrr a new program(possibly to help this forum out). Or something.

Any suggestions?

cpu is overclocked in bios
if you want to sleep then turn off your computer :eek:

read a book for an hour or so before ,that should shut you down gradually, and the tip about the warm milk is also true

Well after working from 445pm-12am last night i think that did it for me. I went home, and fell asleep right away. Didn't wake up till 3 today. So i got some good sleep. But the discovery thing wouldn't work, as i love the discovery channel. Which is probably weird for a guy my age. And if i did the milk thing, I could drink a lot of it because I'm slightly lactose.

But yes, turning off the computer would probably help more.

reading a book is an important step in my tip,
seriously it will work.
try it next time you have difficulty getting off to sleep.
also check your eating patterns, dont eat late at night as your digestive system will be working whilst you are trying to close down.

Well I'm not much of a book reader, but the book I am reading is in my mom's car and haven't had a chance to get it out yet. So when I do I will give that a go. And I eat all times of the night. So that might be why also.

Thanks!
