it always happened to me ., everytime i'll sleep at night there are times that i can't get to sleep upfront ., especially if i was thinking of a lot of things ., like work related, lovelife, money matters etc., well, if this happened i always read magazines or books ., or listening to music in my mp3 ., or a minute of talk to my boyfriend will make me fell asleep ., LOL!
How bout you? what do you do if you can't sleep at night?
share your thoughts .,
have a nice day ahead!

either i watch tv or play on my psp. the worst thing that could happen is that i lose the willingness to sleep that i end up staying up the rest of the night.lol

yeah. but there is a risk when you make yourself too active as you lose the desire to get to sleep.

This is an interesting question. It is a very difficult situation if we don't get sleep during night. This is happening with me for the last one week because it is very hot and there are a lot of mosquitoes. I just lay down and think about a lot of issues in life. I will try my level best to get sleep.

I have insomnia because during holiday I've no sleep schedule and I think about many things, money, love, my future, friends, etc.. If this happen, I will listening music in my cellphone (I've made a list of slow & instrumental song that makes me sleepy if I hear it)or I will send text message to my bf until I fall asleep^^,, or, I'll eat! After eat usually i feel sleepy, so I often do it

I am stubborn, and just keep tossing and turning. I know I shouldn't but I eventually do go to sleep. Some times I listen to music as I am getting into bed, so that helps some times. I do think a lot before I go to sleep though, so I try to picture a blank white space or something simple so my brain winds down.

I usually watch TV,I find sometimes when I am watching TV I will fall asleep, so when it is time for bed and I cant sleep I will turn it on. Another thing that works really well it to make sure there is no light at all on and everything is quiet when you are trying to fall asleep.

If I can't sleep at night, I turn on my computer, and try to get a bit of work done. I don't usually have problems sleeping, but when I do, the computer is always there. It is really nice to know that I will always have something to do, and that I will never be bored, no matter what time it is.

If I can't slep at night, I usually read pocketbooks or news paper even if it's already a history. It really works for me

Hi there!
I do not bother much, if I am unable to sleep. If possible, I would read some books to make myself busy or watch TV for some 15 mintues. Even if doing all this I cannot sleep, I'll just lie down, I know when my body will require rest, I'll automatically go to sleep.

Hey there,
I normally just turn the volume low on my ipod and then keep listening to slow songs.
In a while, I get real sleepy, then its la la land for me..
Else I count in my mind or pray or do something like that, so that my mind is distracted from my thoughts that are not letting me fall asleep. That helps too. 
Reading books while I am in bed also helps me sleep.

I have full on insomnia. My doctor put me on Ambien a coupld of years ago. If I don't take it, I won't sleep a lick. I'll be up the next morning as though it were no big dea. It's creepy having that kind of insomnia, but I thank the Ambien gods for saving me!

I would usually listen to instrumental musics as it soothes me to sleep slowly. I have insomnia and I have problem with sleeping early at night and that is really bad as I have class from 9 to 5 everyday and usually I would doze off to sleep in class. However on certain night if I really cant sleep I would have some hot Milo and cookies or alternately watching some movies to make me feel sleepy.

Well I do generally sleep well. I can't remember the last time I faced sleeplessness at night :). But yes, I am generally very late to bed. Yesterday night I went to sleep at around three in the morning. I understand that its not a good habit, but I always find out something or the other on the internet which keeps me occupied :)

That's a good question. Although I seldom couldn't sleep at night, sometimes it did happen to me. when it bothers me I wouldn't feel upset but try to calm down and figure out some better solutions to conquer it. Sometime I would take into deep consideration of things that I never thought before and not very long I could fall asleep.
