What do you do when you can't sleep?

Hey there sweetie, when I can't sleep I usually read a book, wash my bike, take a shower and listen to some classical or jazz music. And if I still can't sleep, I would take that last resort, and go to the nearest coffeehouse with my bike mates (whoever is available to accompany me) and chill out until the wee hours. This always happen during my off days, because I'm so used to be working all nights out. It would be awesome if I could have a girlfriend then I could spend my time with her.

i usually come on here or update my squidoo or my website, watch tv, read. I've been known to sit on the step with the pets and look at the stars, wash up, fold clothes anything really. I like you don't sleep too well so my boo is very used to me pottering about he prefers me in bed cos sometimes if the pains bad i might keel but the dogs pretty good at alerting him and usually he hears the thud. Admittedly my fav place it the computer chair cos i can go on the net, listen to music (via earphones of course) watch a film, read a book all without leaving the chair and it's very comfy for me this particular chair so i'm usually happy here! :)

Munchkin I would resort to internet, television and lastly books. I am a voracious reader. I think reading books helps instead of mylotting or TV. These have no time out. But reading gives me a feeling to retiring my senses to the point of sleeping.

When I cannot get to sleep, I will normally get up come downstairs and have a coffee and a smoke. Believe it or not this actually seems to do the trick and I normally get back to sleep not long after.

i always daydream... it always put me into sleep...

I recommend going to your bookshelf, taking out a dusty book that no one reads anymore, opening it in the middle (then you'll not understand anything and will get tired faster) and start reading it while sitted on the bed. The warmness of the bed plus the (in the moment) boring book are quite a perfect medicine for me to sleep. ;D

when i can't sleep, i watch tv or read books, or just lay in the bed and ponder on certain things... sometimes, if just surf the web..(this makes me more awake though)

Hi,dear friend, For me I would like to drink a bottle of milk which is really effective for me ..if not then I will count the sheep ..one sheep two sheep three sheep ,four sheep......then sleep until the next day.... Actually,I don't like stay up very late at night since you know it is really bad especailly for girl's skin..So for my outlook I would rather get to sleep at an very early time .... Wish you good luck;-)

I do Read books , Watch Movie Listen To Music Chat To Friend Remember My Lord Mylot sometimes Go For a walk Eat Something gud.....provided I m hungry Thats it...... Thanks Ganesh

Usually if i can't get sleep, i'm pray "Holly Mother" continuously in lay position, and it ends up when i open my eyes, it's already morning strange but it works for me You can try it

I have a lot of problems sleeping too. Mostly I read. If its really bad I get up and start cleaning hoping I will make myself tired. Most over the counter sleep meds don't work for me.

Hi Munchkin, I guess if I'm having difficulty getting to sleep then the obvious choice for me is to grab a brew, listen to some relaxing music until I almost doze off, and then I try and get to sleep once more. At the height of summer though this is a real problem for me, the heat is just so unbearable! I do the occasional midnight surf on the Internet but that's it!! Now that I have been introduced to My Lot though, things may be very different! This place is just so addictive!! Andrew

I usually watch TV or read both activities send me to sleep LOL

i dunno... i just do some random things (actually i used to) im like the youngest one in my family, so i really don't have the right to do whatever i want whenever i just CANT sleep... but there were times when i just took a little walk outside, or just play video games or computer games or watch animes, movies, whatever... but yea counting some random things just trying to sleep... i tried that many times and it NEVER worked, like... not even ONCE

Hi Munchkin. Reading a boring book is usually very effective for me.

It happens with me very rarely when I can't sleep and when it happens I take our pillow from under my head. When blood rushes to head more, you fall asleep. If still I can't sleep then I start counting from 1 to 100 backwards lol.

Well as you are a well brought up young lady I an unable to answer that question entirely truthfully. However, I find that a book, a cup of tea and sometimes the TV help. I tend not to come on the computer, as I spend far too long on here anyway.

Hey munch! Well, I guess we have the same idea. I was here until 5:00am yesterday morning and now it's 1:00 this morning. Oh, I'm so confused! I'm sleep deprived! All I know is that all those hours of mylotting and I made 25 cents! That's really pathetic! I need to get a life! I just can't get to sleep and I run out of ways to try. Nothing seems to work for me. This seems to be the best way to spend my time. At least I'm with friends!

I play video games untill my eyes pop out. Hehehehehehehe. Or listen to my mom lecture about me not getting enough sleep. That usually elicits a yawn from me and her voice ulls me to sleep. Heehee! 8)

counting sheeps,.,sometimes it makes me sleep.,.totally i have an insomia,.,and i cant sleep every night...
