What do you do if you can't sleep?

Does that work? I'd probably need to start at about 10,000, lol! I usually put on some light music, at least if it doesn't help me sleep I've got something to listen to, lol!

As for me if i can't sleep it means i'm thinking of something, so what i do is to take a book and start reading and before i realise i'm gone. whenever i''m in bed and have a free mind, it doesn't take me two seconds to does off.

Hello julianarw, If I can't really sleep I usually watch television or a movie on DVD until I feel sleepy. Sometimes I would on the computer surfing websites on the internet. This things that I do often helps me to sleep whenever I can't fall asleep. There are even times that I already feel sleepy but would still go on with what I am doing. :-)

Hello there. Whenever I can't get to sleep, I'll apply lots of lavendar powder on myself. The smell of lavendar helps me to get to sleep faster. It relaxes me. And if i still can't get to sleep, I'll read a boring book. Usually that will help. =P

Well, honestly it's not happening often in my case. But if it happen to me, normally I will start to read book or magazines until I become tired. By doing that pf course I will fall asleep.

When i cant get to sleep, i will get up from my bed for a cold shower and after that i will sleep very soundly til the next day ;)

Normally I get sleep at regular time i.e. 10.30 p.m. If I do not get sleep, I then take a book for reading, preferably a big book and sometimes I get sleep without putting off the lights. If that is not possible, I then work in internet. In order to get sleep, one should tire the body with exercises and work. I go for 4 km brisk walk every day.

If I cannot sleep,I have several choices:listening to the music with earphones,drinking a glass of milk or a cup of water,and keeping on working. In recent months,I cannot sleep well and I always choose the last choice.Working,working and working,until I feel exhausted.

Since I sleep with my husband, so I don't want to bother him even if I can't fall asleep. Usually I will lie on the bed and keep thinking. Or I pretend to fall asleep and try hard to sleep soon.

I usually get a book and start to read it. After a while my eyes just close by themselves;) That's natural for me if I lay on the bed, that's one of the reasons I always read sitting:P

hi, julianarw.. if me can't sleep at night then i will go watch movie or play game..if din't have movie to watch then will online play game or chatting with friends..

If I can't sleep I usually just lay there till I fall asleep. If I get up to read of anything then I have a harder time falling asleep.

I just do all my online programs. I'd rather earn a little than waste my time doing nothing. lol When my mind and eyes gets tired, i lay on my bed and there i am induce to sleep. My mind is always wandering if i lay and I'm not yet sleepy.I find it a waste of time. So I'd rather not lay but makes my self fruitful.

I'd read a book, that would make my eyes tired and sleepy. If I don't want to sleep, internet is the answer :)

Apart from getting up and making a cup of tea I usually try self hypnosis. I was taught this once when I went to see a hypnotist many years ago and it usually works. You first have to conciously relax every part of your body including your eyes, and before you know it you are in the land of nodd.

I usually read, novels or whatever useful books available. I also put my eyes near the fan, that helps my eye grow heavy and then all I need to do is close them!LoL Sometimes, I also watch tv or stay in the computer and mylot until my eyes gets tired.

sometimes whenever you feel really tired and all you wanna do is sleep- you can't. just can't fall asleep. usually when that happens i'll try to think of something to keep my mind occupied, or pray to god and count my blessings until i fall asleep! .

I usually think of something. Places where I would like to go, stuff like that.It doesn't work all the time, but I try it anyway. One of my friends has problems sleeping. None of the methods used by you guys doesn't work on her. Sad!
