Hey, FakeArms here. The name is a quote from Father Ted, a hilarious program you should all watch, about 3 Irish priests living on an island. I'll try to answer anything you ask me, but please spell-check it, and you know, put full stops and stuff in it.

ok well im 14 n if i watch a scary movie i have a hard tyme going to sleep at night. i no da movies r juss movies but for some reason i cant sleep. how can i stop being afraid? (link)
This is quite a common problem. Well, the first and most obvious tip is to stop watching scary movies. That might not be practical, but if you don't enjoy them, perhaps you could persuade your friends to see a comedy or something. Well, if you don't want to stop watching them, here are some more ideas.
1. After the film, before you go to sleep, try reading a funny book or watching something funny on TV to take your mind off it.
2. Before you go to sleep, try to meditate. That doesn't involve becoming or Buddhist or buying a yoga mat, but just sit quietly by yourself and try to empty your mind of everything. This could apply to any problems or worries you have. If a thought crosses your mind, just let it pass and concentrate on not thinking of anything. This will relax you and help you sleep better.
3. If all else fails, and it's 3 o' clock in the morning and you can't sleep, put the light on (make sure the door is closed) and just do anything to take your mind off it. This could be reading a book (nothing too challenging), or doing a word puzzle, or playing a game on your cellphone.
4. If you are having consisent trouble sleeping, you could perhaps try herbal sleeping aids, like tablets or putting some lavender oil on your pillow.
Hope this helps!
