I'm sitting here at the computer trying to make a few bucks, since I'm awake anyway. if time is money on sites like MyLot and Gather, I might as well make the most of the time that I am alert and ready to work. I just hope I can stay awake tomorrow.
what does everyone else do in the middle of the night?
I'm sure it's morning or afternoon somewhere. I like to think I'm just on a different time zone. LOL

I use to hop on the computer but found that when I did I'd stay up all night long and not even attempt to go back to bed LOL...now I just put on a movie and hope for the best...which is actually what happened to me last night...

Me too steph. I stay up later and later then I end up being awake all night.
The trouble is...I'm not able to catch up properly in the day. I'm going to
have to work hard at getting things back in sync. I'm letting my chores slide
too. I find I need a routine and the slightest thing can throw it out.

hi danish..if i cant sleep..i just lay in bed and at least focus myself not to think of anything...or watching tv shows that are so boring and in due time i fall asleep...doing net browsing makes my mind so active that i cant no longer sleep..actually if i have done all my rituals before sleeping ..surely my body will succumb to it and sleep..

I would just take a book to read and would enjoy the pleasure of reading. I think, after reading a book for nearly half an hour, I'll again start sleepy and will go to sleep again. I've never tried mylotting during mid-night, am not sure what will the experience like writing in the middle of night........LOL! Hope you were able to utilize your time, when you were awake.

Usually I read but I am semt-professional writer so sometimes I work out a story in my head. The problem with that is the next day I have to write it down otherwise I forget it.

Sometimes I put the tv on and try to find a boring programme to send me off again, never happens end up watching some thing good lol. Or i have tried to come and use the PC same thing i end up spending far to long on there and could then be time to get up. So if i have a few sleepless nights in a row, i will then have a really late night and hope that does the trick...

It is 4:49a.m in California, I have been awake since three something. I have insomnia and Mylot is one of the main things that I do when I can not sleep. Reading, especially my Bible is another thing that I enjoy when I am in my own time zone, LOL.

Hello danishcanadian!
At night when I am bored and can't sleep, I would most likely end up turning on the TV and watch the night away. That is if I don't have work the next day. If I do, I just get up and drink a hot cup of milk. After that, back to bed, whisper a prayer and close my eyes.

During those nights when I find it hard to sleep and I really would like to sleep no mater how I tried to close my eyes sleep won't come and what I usually does is get a good book and re-read it only those pages or chapters that I like and I would usually fell sleepy after 20 to 30 minutes of reading the book. I find this really helpful during those nights when I really find it hard to sleep. Hope this helps you during during sleepless nights. ![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

It hardly ever happens to me because I am up at 4 each morning so when I go to bed, which is usually too late, I am so tired that I don't wake up. On the odd occasion that I cannot sleep I get up and start on my morning chores until I feel tired enough to go back to bed. At least if I sleep in the next morning in my jobs will be done.

And the good thing too is that you get to kick start your day with a sense of achievement - the morning chores are done way early! XD

If I wake up in the middle of the night, the first thing I have to do is do prayer! God has created all things for human beings, why can't we have time to remember HIM? It takes only a couple of minutes to perform prayer. After that I do something else. If I have a computer and an internet connection of course I'll seacrh sites that pays like MyLot. You mention Gather. Is that also like mylot? Well let me know, friend.
