What do you do when you can't sleep??

Back in my own bed tonight and of course I can't sleep. What do you do when you can't sleep?

sit on here, LOL..clean...

take a valerian and wait for it to kick in..watch infomericals lol

depends

most of the time reading will make me sleepy.

taking a hot shower, drinking warm tea, relax and listen to music.

I'm doing it right now. Hang out on TCS, of course!

Me too. I've been having some sleep trouble lately. Comes with age I guess.

I go online and play on a dog sim site before heading over here

I come here, too!

im an insomniac so i don't sleep very much, lately I have been spending alot of time on this site but i also do my school work and play the sims if i can't sleep. i would clean but it wakes up the kids 2 and 4 legged ones.

I dont sleep well at night....i always tend to fall asleep about 1-2 hrs before my alarm goes off! lol I have this Herb Tea called "sweet dreams" by Bigelow that i drink often and it really relaxes me. I also watch tv and within an hour or so i'll start getting sleep again. My doctor told me that i need to get out of bed and not lay there when i cant sleep....and not to watch tv in my bed either. Bed was only for sleeping!

I do crosswords....eventually I start nodding off and usually am good to go!

I bang on the ceiling to get the people upstairs to shut up! Last night they kept me awake until 4am - they were having a party, but not just ANY party.... it was a KAREOKE PARTY!!! Oh and musical chairs... all drunken, of course. Fun.

I'll just go talk to my cats.. they usually give me the "get lost! I'm trying to sleep here" stare Otherwise, I'll go write my blog or watch some late night tv.. never fails to put me to sleep

I go onto TCS of course!! or I read

Lately I have had that problem myself. That is unusual for me. I sleep until about three thirty and then wake up every hour until time to get up. By that time I am exhausted from trying to sleep. Maybe I should just get up and join you folks on here.

sit on the toilet and smoke a cigerette

I am a terrible sleeper- always have been. I've been a night person forever and medical training really screwed up my already irregular schedule. Our Dean of Medicine was recently citing a study to me that showed ppl who work night shifts tend to have more illnesses but I told her if that was for my benefit, I was sure I'd never change. Now I have chronic pain that keeps me awake and to take my mind off it, I read - books and online (and yes, even TCS, lol).

I play a game with myself: I don't allow myself to open my eyes! Not even a little. Eventually (or surprisingly quickly), I BORE myself to sleep!

I was having one of those nights the other night when I found you all. 2 hours sleep and I was wide awake. I either read, look up those "things you always wanted to know and nobody would tell you" on the net or play computer solitaire.

I usually will watch TV for awhile, or read some....

chat, watch tv
or seriously run around the room, it will make you sleepy
