What do you do when you can't get to sleep at night?

And I started browsing the Internet on my phone, really it's the reading that keeps me occupied and gradually when I get tired again I can go back to sleep.

Exercise. Take a hot bubble bath. Listen to music while typing, or writing. Meditate laying down. Clean house. Read in bed.

It is maybe that because I am a student that this actually works for me. When I can't sleep, I usually take up a book and go study. Atleast it is much better than me just sitting there wasting time. What usually happen afterwards though is that, I usually easily get tired of studying and then is when I actually drop asleep. So that is my mehtod to actually go sleep when I am not yet tired or I just find it difficult sleeping.

If I can’t sleep, I usually play Sudoku on my cellphone or read a pocket book. I sometimes just lay in bed, close my eyes and dream about my dream house. In this process, I find myself eventually sleeping.

If I have to get up early the next morning, I will read something that I am really not like or very boring such as old magazines. Sometime I will recite words of foreign language. If I don't have to get up early the next morning, I will play PC games, watch movie, or play with my smart phone. I can always kill time easily.

Well, try to read books so you can sleep. For me, whenever I can't sleep at night i dragged myself to make some push-ups to make me tired. Often, I use to spent my time surfing the net until I feel sleepy.

I have difficulties falling asleep all the time, and I think it's mainly because I think too much. People keep saying "just stop thinking", but I believe that is impossible for me. I guess what I try to do is think about stuff that are quite superficial, and not at all important. I think about fun stuff, and I think it makes my mind more at ease. It helps a little, though I still can't fall asleep quite fast.

For me drink pure soya so that you find sleep well.

When I have a hard time sleeping I would just turn on the tv. Watching tv helps me out a lot when sleeping, or trying to sleep. Recently I have to say, I haven't had any problems sleeping. But in my situation watching tv until I fall asleep work for me.

just study books which are least interesting and you will sleep with in 5 min.

When I don't feel sleepy during night then I listen to music, most of the time old songs of Lata Mangeshkar, or else soft music. If not music then I read newspaper, because usually in the morning I don't get time to read newspaper as I am busy with the household.

If it's okay at your work place, maybe you should bring a book to read. It's a good way of passing time. You can also try straightening out the place. I usually clean when all else fails, and when the place is all clean and you're a little tired from the work, the fresh air lulls me to sleep.

well, if i have any trouble in my life i will be start watching television and start film, if i start to watching television i feel sleepy.

I usually have a late night. When I am usually at the state of "somewhat insomnia," I don't force myself to sleep because I only get headache. I only get something to read, reading can sometimes be boring and it can make you sleepy actually. Sometimes, I surf the net but it takes away my somnolence, especially if I enjoy surfing. The most effective way to make me sleep is to drink milk. I am not sure if it will work for everyone but it really works for me

Some time due to heavy pressure in my mind I did not able to sleep properly at night, thinking that what will happen tomorrow morning, also same things happen when I expect something good news on next day morning I feel the same and cant sleep that time I just drink water and go to the roof watch skies, starts to pass the time and when I feel tiered then i go to sleep.

Hi... last night it happened to me. I was lying on beg but was not able to sleep, hence i turn on the light and began to read. Almost at 4 morning i napped for some time till 8am. have a nice day.

For an insomniac like me, the greatest cure is to listen to pleasant classical music. I have downloaded some classical pieces to my phone and play them when I'm in bed. I have a ton of the said category of songs and I usually listen for a couple of pieces before succumbing to sleep. If the music didn't work, books usually do. I have them at my hand's reach and try to tire my eyes or finish the book in order to keep myself from suspense. I also try the method of surfing the net for the same purpose. I don't know but milk really doesn't help me. But usually, a good snack does.

It always be a big problem that you are not able to fall asleep, sometimes makes you frustrated. In my case, if I have tried hard enough to push myself into dream but failed, I would get up to watch some TV programs or a movie on computer. To keep focus on watching is helpful to make me get tired enough to feel sleepy. And that would bring me to dream soon.

I am with you. I work nights at a hospital. 7 on 7 off. If I really need to sleep but can't I do benadryl. Or I'll have me a mixed drink to relax enough to fall asleep. I also have an ipod and I keep it handy. If I just absolutely can't sleep I chat with friends on it... or I check e-mails on it, or I do surveys and posts. Unfortunately it comes with the job when you work graves. You just do what you can to rest when you're ready.

when I can't get to sleep I will do something can make me tired,then I can get to sleep quickly.like running.I also read book and watch TV.Like waht you did i also paly my ipod touch,you know play some games.
