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

hi forhaving a good sleep u should always think of the lord. You should always think that he is the Supreme and i should serve him. I challenge u will get a goooooooood sleep

now what do I do to help me sleep...well...I like to go on a picnic...lol...this is gonna sound crazy too anybody who reads it...lmao

I use to need the "white noise" a fan provides too raw. The hum of a fan puts me right to sleep. When I can't sleep I try to clear my mind, stop thinking. Rarely does it work. I have never taken a med for sleeplessness other than one time I tried NyQuil, it worked, but woke up in a fog. Do you remember the episode of Seinfeld, "Master of your Domain", "King of the Castle"...do you remember, or know what I'm talking about? That works too! LOL!

Sleeping is also a matter of daily routine. Daily routine should be observed with discipline. First chalk out the daily routines and spread your timings (leaving exceptional work). May be like this getting up,brushing,daily calls,exercises, bathing,etc.,-2hours, morning prayers,tiffin etc.,-1hour, travelling and duty time-10 hours, T.V.,readings,writings,spending time with family & friends-3 hours. Then you have only 8 hours to sleep. That is sufficient including some extra work in a day. Maintain strictly fixing the schedule of timings. Donot take rest in between. Forget where you are sleeping may be on the bed or floor,no medications,no fan sound and nothing. Think of good things and pray god.

just play with my cell phone

when I can't fall asleep,I open the radio to listen to talk program or soft music.

I will have either a cup of warm mlk or a cup of hot herbal tea to relax.

I lie in bed with my eyes closed fantasizing about things that will make me happy. cuts out the nightmares too.

Think about things that I would like to do in the future.

I count sheep....no just kidding....doesnt work....well I read a novel....but you know the best way I fall asleep...I try to study my subjects and I am asleep in 15 min...:D

chat on line, read books or play games.

i will think of the future

i get very nervous, i get up, try to read, i realise that i'm too tired, then i lay back again, try to count, not working, so i get up and eat some, then go back to bed, if still not good enough, then i don't know...maybe i count minutes till dawn

Watch tv until my eyes get sleepy or computer

I have not problems to sleep during the night.

Read a book, write a letter, drink warm milk, watch a movie

imagine a garden with a waterfall and imagine going for a walk. I never seem to get very far. I have a park bench in my imaginary garden and as soon as I sit down on it I fall to sleep

when i cant sleep, i only drink milk..then after a few minutes a feel sleepy...

I never really have much problem sleeping anymore because my husband was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and he now wears a CPAP machine and he no longer snores at night to keep me up. But now if I can't sleep, I just put my tv on and set the sleep timer for like 30 minutes. I normally am sleeping before it goes off.

I sometimes take benadryl or nighttime nightquill. Usually works. I have problems sleeping at night a lot. But usually if I turn on the ESPN channel I can fall asleep. But if I start watching somthing interesting it usually keeps me up.
