How do I put myself to sleep quickly without fapping?

Best way I have found to fall asleep is Progressive Muscle Relaxtion.

You progressively tense then relax muscle groups. I start with my toes/feet, tense all the muscles for a count of five then relax the muscle group. I then move up to my calves, tense them for a five count and then relax. I progress up the body to thighs, buttocks, lower stomach/groin, lower back, upper abdomen, upper back, chest then arms.

I have found, after using the technique over a long period of time, that I often actually start yawning by the time I get to my thighs even if I wasn't feeling sleepy when I started.

What the fuck, you wake up at 3am for class?

I never heard of a morning routine that takes 4 hours.
You have to sleep at 7:45 pm if you wanna wake up at 3:45 am and still get your 8 hours of sleep. getting a girl to take care of your sexual needs ain't gonna happen... you have to master the art of the LSF (light speed fap).

melatonin, or exercise

This will seem out there, but it's very important.

Your bed should be for only two things. Sleeping or sex.

Anything else dilutes what your body and mind expect when you lay in bed. Don't play games in bed, don't watch TV in bed, bed is for sleeping and sex only. When you lay down in bed, your mind and body go "it's time to sleep. Is there a puss nearby? No? Sleep. That's what we're doing"

I'd do a full body workout for 1.5-2 hrs then run a 5k or do 30 minutes of a cardio machine. Ice bath 30 minutes to an hour before bed. Read fiction right before bed.

If you can't just bludgeon yourself into it (aka sleep from 1-4 until you're tired af), try melatonin for a nught or two to try to get in the right rhythm.

Avoid blue light from electronics after dark.

Melatonin is great. Also read a book.

ZMA supplements, cut out caffeine 12 hours before bedtime, cut food 4 hours before bedtime, drink water but not for a while before bedtime or you'll be pissing all night, exercise if you don't already and get into a solid, stable, consistent routine.

Hit the gym harder. I have no problem falling asleep in the evening if I lifted for an hour in the morning.

Your routine isn't working, adjust it. Getting up before 4 am really is overdoing the whole morning routine thing. Move something to evening.

Melatonin

BigMattyMcDaddy · 2017-09-27T21:24:49+00:00

Sleepy time tea, melatonin pills, wear yourself out at the gym.

Take 6 deep breaths and I guarantee you you will start yawning and dosing off. You inhale slowly for 6 seconds, hold it for 6 seconds, and exhale for 6 seconds. You do that 6 times. The steady flow if oxygen to your brain and muscles will relax you and you will knock out quick.

A glass of wine sends me to sleep, especially if you’re not a day drinker/ whatever.

Another jackass who thinks nocturnal emissions are better than jerking off every few days to lose the eye of the tiger
