Have you ever been through tossing and turning in the night?

I often find the times I'm the sleepest of course I can't sleep, always have something to do and the minute I'm free to do whatever I'd like with my time, such as sleeping, it never seems to come. Only find myself wanting to sleep, when I have everything else to do but that, and when I have absolutely nothing to do, but know I'm tired, it never seems to happen. Irony, don't you love it. But when I do find myself in those times, trying to sleep, or just tossing and turning, I turn on cartoons, don't know what it is about them, just takes me back to those days of being a kid, worry free, makes me feel at ease, at home, and I tend to relax and feel safe, and they have such simple story lines, they don't get you over engaged and keep you awake. Instead when you finally do drift off to sleep, they tend to boost my dreams, spark some crazy ones, make my imagination work while I'm sleeping, finish that episode of Tom and Jerry in my head. I've never slept better than when I was lying next to my ex. Every time it never failed. Guess I just always liked the way I felt around him, the comfort he brought to me, my sleep would almost always come instantly, and it'd be that deep kind of good sleep. But if he left the bed for anything, it's like I knew, I'd wake up, I do miss that about him I must say, I slept better when he was around :/

Hello tuanshun. There are times I had this problem whenever I cant sleep. What I do is, I keep myself busy like fixing my things. I also like reading a book and listening to soft music. If Im still awake by then, I'll do some arts or watch tv.

I have these bad sleep so many times at night and I wake up to read a book or to continue reaing a book I was having, I sometimes Let play the music on my laptop an try to imagine many things to get a good sleep.

This has happened alot to me in the past and it would drive me crazy. I would then put the TV on or read. The usual problem was that I couldn't shut my brain down. It would keep going - thinking and thinking. I've heard you shouldn't be on the computer before going to sleep or even watching TV in bed.

Hi there, i have that problem to and it´s very hard to go to work 10 to 12 hours the morning after,my trick is to watch tv, it always works, the bad side of it is that i fall a sleep and short after it´s time to get up again.
