Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night. Then I close my eyes and I couldn't go back to sleep. Then I start thinking of so many things, but it just got worse. So just pray and talk to GOD and without knowing I fall asleep. How about you? Do you drink hot milk like what others says? What do you do when you cannot sleep? Have a nice day! Happy mylotting!

I get up and play video games. Well not really video but word games and such on the computer. It makes me tired and I never seem to last very long before I am ready for bed. The only bad thing is sometimes I go to bed and I can not get the game out of my head. That is what I do.

I usually go on the computer LOL but there are nights where I just lay in bed in the dark, maybe put some relaxing music on. Other times I watch TV or play games...those usually help. Though I've never tried the warm milk remedy I don't think it would work for me because I'm not a milk drinker hahaha have a good day

I take a book and start reading.My bedside is always stacked with magazines and books.So I need f=not worry and I know that you can always compensate the lost sleep the next day.Worrying over the the lost sleep will only make things worse. But thank god rarely I have sleepless nights.I always sleep well.

it happens most of the time to me. like you, i pray because i'm kinda imaginative and a lot of things come into my mind like ghosts, monsters and those kinds of stuff. that's what i get for watching horror movies. lol. i just pray and close my eyes and then i fall a sleep.

Me too ! I'm a very imaginative person. Specially when I'm alone on the bed! I think of all kind of ghosts and scenes that I've watched from a horror movie. Sometimes I think maybe someday I'll try to be a horror film director. :D

I drink hot milk or open my cellphone and sends messages to my friends. Sometimes, I played computer games or even reading until my eyes are tired and ready to close for good sleep.Thanks

This just happened to me last night. My daughter woke me up around 1:30am for milk and a change of nappies. Then I couldn't go back to sleep. I opened the TV and started watching cable until my eyes got tired and felt sleepy. When I was younger, I used to get a glass of warm chocolate to help me calm down again.

Most of the time if I can't sleep in the middle of the night I just play the games in my cellphone and when my eyes get tired I then fell asleep. Sometimes I also eat midnight snack and watch cable movies or sometimes I just read books.. Have a nice day..
