    insomnia

    It's hard, man. Working 12-hour days and getting home late is brutal.

    Working out helps me a lot, or laying in bed and reading

    UNREAL! And Zach? You? This is the most garbage thread ever!

    LISTEN CLOSE -- Close 2-3 accounts a day! And don't stop till you do! The fact you are crying and complaining makes me sick! I'd fire your ass!!!

    I'm sorry...but you don't have what it takes to make it in this business! Go get a 9-5 job, with 3 weeks vacation. Im serious. You are not equipped to be anyone serious in this business.

    Take it easy, hot shot. Talk to your manager, take a sick day. You seem like you need a break.

    What do you guys do to help get more sleep in this industry? I'm sure this is a phenomenon for most, especially in sales and phone brokerages.
    Sleep? What's that?

    Completely separate yourself from everything "office" or "deal" and don't plan any phone calls at least 2 hours before you wind down- even in-office meetings because you will find 15 minutes turns into 2 hours and your mind won't shut off.

    Sounds stupid, but find an alternate reality or hobby that your mind can switch and give its' all to. Read? Audible has helped me. Try to find a way to meditate. There are different types of meditation as long as you are able to clear your mind.

    I can see an infomercial coming from this... "Do you see yourself chasing stips in your sleep? Do you get excited every time the clock shows 1:49?"

    I'm a big believer of ketel one on the rocks with 3 olives. Not only does is calm you down but you get your daily dose of vegetables.

    As someone who legitimately suffers from insomnia I have found ways to ensure that I get at least 4 hours a night without Ambien (or similar Rx type pills)

    1. No Booze after 7pm
    2. No Caffeine after 2pm
    3. Eat as little dinner as you can without starving.
    4. Don't watch TV in your bedroom
    5. Keep water by your bed to consume over the night as dehydration and dry mouth constantly wake people up.
    6. Keep your phone as far away from yourself as possible, the impulse to work will keep you from sleeping.

    These things when done together have really assisted in getting me some decent 5-6 hour nights a couple times a week, that and my Tempurpedic mattress
