Every time that I can't sleep because of over thinking, I always play this "Night Rain on a Car" in YT. It really helps me to fall asleep and to relax my mind. I always had a good sleep, because of it. I usually do it with an ear piece on. I love the sound of rains hehe. How about you? what do you usually do when you can't sleep?

I will get up and read. I won't stay in bed as my tossing and turning, or turning on a light disturbs my wife. (She gets awfully grumpy when she doesn't get enough sleep.)

Is it a book that you're reading? or an article in a website or what?

@raveeen I write book reviews for pay. The books I get come digitally. They are free so I do not quibble that I would prefer something solid that I can hold in my hands. I am currently reading a murder mystery, so far, it's so-so.

@raveeen it's very rare I have to take zzzquil, usually because I'm amped up from earlier in the day

I will often get up and have tea, or take a "Moon Drop" which is a homeopathic sleep aid.

I sometimes suffered with lack of sleep... Because of the same reason i.e to have thoughts ........ But I just close the mobile phone now and keep it away.... Which is way too helpful to have a good sleep

I just stay calm and thinking some good things until my eyes become heavy, then I fall asleep.

When I can't sleep, I'll try reading a book, or drinking a glass of milk. Just some things that help me.

I will try meditating and if that doesn't work, I will head upstairs and turn on the computer!!

That's a good idea. I love the sound of rain on a roof and I guess rain on a car would be similar.

I would think of the things pending. However, there are times I would read or watch movies. Sometimes, I would get sleepy by the end of an hour of doing these things.
