Where has the sleep gone?
For a little more then a week now I have been having a huge issue with being able to fall asleep. This is really not a good thing since I do have morning classes that require me to be awake in.
I know it is not that serious yet, but I want to nip it in the bud.
The lack of sleep is more then likely caused by stress, I just can't seem to locate the origin of what might be stressing me out.
All I can really think of to solve this problem is to eat really hearty foods like potatoes, lettuce, and garlic, (Things out of the garden) to try to fix it. And I don't want to use any form of pills.
Commissions? what?
"But you haven't finished what you owe me!?!"
Well right now
mine are still not open, I posted this because I thought it would be nice to inform of some people who are needing commissions.
First of all there is
whom I've already had the pleasure of commissioning these two pieces from her.
I suggest you go to her gallery and check her out, then note her for a commission.
She is quick and does good work! <3
Next there is
A good friend of mine from school whom I am surprised doesn't get commissioned as much.
And
who is also a school friend who lives with ~

Both are tones of fun to be around, and they both draw very well
(Sorse is complaining that he doesn't have anything to show off in his gallery, I beg to differ)Remember to note them with inquiries!~~~~~~~~~~
Now I did put a shoutboard on my main page for me to pimp some people, tho I doubt that many people have seen it.
Please let me know if you noticed it, or if it just blends in?

Tired 
So you can relax again...
For me, if I exercise late at night, it makes it easier to go to sleep. But this doesn't work for everyone, I'm one of the types of people that exercise makes me REALLY tired so then I can't really do any work after it. For others, it makes them more awake and alert, in which case it probably wouldn't help the sleep issue. One thing my mom always suggested when I was little is when you're lying in bed and can't get to sleep, tense up every muscle in your body and then relax and you'll start drifting away in no time.
And failing those two things, you could always start reading a math book... that puts me to sleep like nothing else
And those arts are gorgeous! Oh wow!
And I do indeedy look at your Shoutboard! So none of this was a surprise for me
I don't know if you've tried that, but it helps me. The other thing that helps is winding down before bed. Do something that isn't homework- go for a walk, read a good novel, watch a calming movie, etc.
And above all, don't drink caffeine after 5pm. That helped me a ton when I used to have insomnia.
If the reason is too much thoughts in your head, try writing them down. Think about those issues in the morning. Writing something down clears up my head. Just lists.
If it is stress and you have shoulders hard as a rock and your neck is killing you. I'd suggest exercise. Depending on your physical condition and how much you'll know your body different things help. Jogging (or walking at fast pace) three times a week is a start. Or your could use some shoulder relaxing moves. Roll your shoulders, arms, head 10 times in opposite directions and so on.
Final relaxing trick which is easy is to go through all your muscles in the body. Tighten one muscle group or body part and let it relax. Start from your feet, then lower legs until you reach your facial muscles. Relaxing music might help too. I'm sucker for Vivaldi in relaxing.
Taking few deep breaths is a good start.
I hope this helps.
Sleep meds wreck havoc on my body. I can't take anything with sleep aids in it because I end up being lethargic for 5 hours after I wake up and I don't feel all that well rested.
