How many do this

[fearthebeard]

I'm 25 years old and I swear the night before opening day is like Christmas when I was a kid I can't sleep lol I usally leave my house at 4 am any tips on good ways to fall asleep sounds stupid but I want to be sharp and on point and I need a good night sleep any advice is welcomed

[First-light]

Back then it was the same way for me. Now 25 years later it still is a great night but sleep is a priority.

I don't get much sleep either. I'm awake every half hour or so, because I'm afraid of not hearing the alarm and being late to the woods. That'd be like the dream you have where you get to work before you realize you forgot to put pants on - unacceptable.

Just make sure you get extra the day before....that's what I do opening day and thanksgiving they have been only few days I hunt with my dad still so no alarm is needed for me as I'm looking at clock every 5 min lol

Start drinking at 4pm...

I've always fell asleep RIGHT after good sex and a ciggarette.

We're all big boys here, so I can tell you plenty of other ways to tire yourself out if you're a single non smoker,lol

I second drinking at 4 pm and passing out early.

can't help much here i am also up every couple of hours after all these years don"t fight it......

After more than 40 hunting seasons, I still am lucky to get 4 or 5 hours sleep the night before the opening of firearms season. I'm still a kid at heart!

I still have a difficult time falling asleep the night before deer season opens . Any other time I can go to sleep in a couple minutes .

Im not sure the start drinking at 4 pm is something I'd do. But, A nice glass of single malt scotch about an hour before bed usually helps ease the nerves.

It doesn't matter what time i go to sleep , i have no problem getting up to go hunting . However ,even if i got 20 straight hours of sleep and the alarm goes off on a work day , i just don't wanna roll out of the rack for work.

Zzz-quil helps a little bit of you can't fall asleep. They say it's safe but I wouldn't use it too often. I have used it before when I'm having a lot of trouble sleep and have an important day the next day. Melatonin is good but it's more to help you if you keep having interrupted sleep.

I didn't read responses so don't know if it was said...read a book...If I can't sleep but want to , all I need to do is open a book I really want to read..,,I'm out like a light within a half hour....

I too have trouble falling asleep the night before opening day. I usually get a power nap on the couch so I don't wake up the wife.

Have you tried Benadryl? 

[SCbklyn]

Bunch of 7 n 7's always puts me right to sleep.

[Elmo]

Have you tried Benadryl?

That's what Zzz-Quil is. It's basically Benadryl but with only the stuff that knocs you out and not the other medical stuff.

Pharmaceuticals are always helpful
