Tell him to read an article in the newspaper that was out the other day
(I'll try to find it) saying that people who sleep 8-9 h dye (the one of the passing away, not the one of changing your hair colour) younger than those who sleep less. OK, the article said too that 4h was too little, but he doesn't need to know. When he feels good about not being able to sleep, he'll be less stressed about it and then he'll sleep better.

Just tell him to read a book or watch some shit TV. No point stressing about it

part good/part bad advice there
Stressing about it makes it worse. So does watching tv though. Too stimulating for the brain. Reading is much better for promoting sleep.

This is an interesting way of looking at it
Thank you my dear

You're welcome.
I go through periods of not being able to sleep very well, and the more I think about it, the worse. To the point of getting scared of going to bed because I don't know if I'll be able to sleep, so I try not to think about it.

I know what you mean
I go through phases of not wanting to go to bed despite being knackered because I know I'll be lying awake with my thoughts. Not fun.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 31 Mar 2011, 14:52, Reply)

Not at all
I prefer to stay up doing something else, even if it's just watching TV or reading a book, than in bed, turning around and thinking that next day I'm going to be shattered so please, please, go to sleep, please!

I don't know if you get this too
but Ms Foxtrot really doesn't like going to bed without me, so I'll usually go up with her even if I know this means hours of lying there, waiting for dawn so it's light enough to read

I do get this
But if I'm sleeping well and Mark can't, I prefer if he goes somewhere else than having him there, lying quietly in bed, because, for more than he try, it's not quietly.

I never know with those two. They sound the same, don't they?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 31 Mar 2011, 14:50, Reply)

Yes, they are pronounced the same

(Bazongaloid, Thu 31 Mar 2011, 14:50, Reply)

This language
doesn't make any sense.

Says you, your language is full of upside down question marks
and you all lisp.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 31 Mar 2011, 14:53, Reply)

I like the upside down question and exclamation marks
They are a good idea, if a little mental

I think it helps to know
when you're starting your question.

Yeah

Lisp? What do you mean lisp?
You all have "frenillo"

Frenillo is a funny word. It means that that little bit of string that keeps your tongue connected to the bottom of your mouth it's too short, so you can't roll your "Rs" properly. It's used as slang to say that you have phimosys (the little string on the top of your member it's too short)
