True confession: I bookmarked that post so I can hear it once in a while. (In a non creepy way. Just to brighten up the day)

Hurray! 
It also starts to take up a lot of time (I practically stopped transcribing podcasts and translating Monkey Island) in a mixture of FOMO and enjoying just hanging out virtually in all the off-topic/on-topic topics.

1 a.m. and I still am awake 
I’ve tried reading a book, nothing.
Any suggestions?
Replay Zak McKracken? Count the doors in one of the pyramids…

Maybe we should collect some (more) useful tips. I’ll start with the most common suggestions:
- drink a warm milk (with honey)
- read a book (on real paper)
- use some boring music (the one used for meditation)
From my own experiences I can suggest the following:
Tell yourself that you don’t have to sleep. You only have to rest and to relax - even if you don’t fall asleep until the morning, your body will refresh. Try to think of good things or experiences.

I´d suggest the mars pyramid since the great pyramid in cairo doesn´t have many doors at all.

Good luck @ZakPhoenixMcKracken
I’m having the same problem tonight, third night in a row, grr. I thought some exercise would help over the weekend but now my arm muscles are spasming and keeping me awake. So much for that!
Anyone know how I can relax my muscles? Maybe I’m dehydrated.
Many ways. Correct temperature (not too warm, not too cold), a little pressure massage, have a good drink, lots of water and most of all get your arms their own pillows.

Sorry, I went to bed after my last post yesterday, so I haven’t seen your post in time. But maybe for the future:
This technique is also known as “Jacobson’s (progressive) relaxation”. There are several books with the exercises available. And they are very simple: You just have to tense the muscles of your body for a moment. (In the Wikipedia article the paragraph about the “Training” isn’t quite right: You don’t need a dark room for example - you can do the relaxation technique even in a train.)

You mean a lot, I see. It’s just curiosity or are you a professional?
The first one.
