when you can't sleep

[jd58]

when you find yourself not being able to sleep do you get up and jump on tne computer like i'm going now?

or what do you do?

 

[milagros317]

I think calming, positive thoughts and try to go back to sleep. 😀
If that doesn't work, I begin to play out an entire baseball game, batter by batter, in my head. I've never stayed awake past the second inning.

When I can't sleep I either surf the net or put an old movie in the dvd player.

Wow, I can’t sleep and saw this thread, sooooo I guess that I come to TMF, when I can’t sleep.
I can’t believe I can’t sleep, it is 4am here and I just got home at 1am. I should be exhausted, I am usually a ler but for the second part of last night I was a lee, she tickled the hell out of me and I should be out of it, why can’t I sleep. Grrrrrrrrr.
I have to get up at 9am. Grrrrrrrrrr

Aloha, John

hehe hey Jimmy miss that odd humour of yours...

one of the worst things you can do if you can't sleep is lie there and think...ack..

When I cant sleep and I am alone in the house, I start doing the washing up, or dusting the furniture. I become sleepy VERY SOON.... I do not know, why....

When I can't sleep, which is ridiculously rare, I usually either try to "blank" my mind, or I get up and watch TV for a bit. Late night infomercials are a great cure for insomnia.

I try to avoid the computer, I think that makes it worse. I have several things I try, however none of them worked last night 🙁

Climb out on my roof and stargaze with the telescope.

Or read a book downstairs, maybe take a hot bath.

 

[Ghris]

Read, think about very specific things, change position, watch TV. Occasionally turn computer on, but not often.

 

[McNoodle]

I listen to mp3's on my laptop while remaining in bed. Eventually I will drift off.
Not sure why but most of those nights I tend to dream about Saturday Night Fever or Footloose 😀

 

[deadlywiffeathr]

I get my post count up on the TMF, chat with overseas TMF'ers, listen to the radio, watch anything thats on the telly, play the xbox, watch a DVD. And sometimes, I even crack open a beer and prank call my mates in the wee hours of the morn! 😛

I always try to read first. Like tonight, I read 200 pages of Stephen King's Duma Key. To no avail however and now here I am several hours later writing about it.

I watch old episodes of "Battle Dome" courtesy of Youtube's new Show Showcase section

 

[paracarl44]

I start to read something like a magazine, works within a half an hour.

 

[grandizer]

play on computer.

 

[paracarl44]

Watch TV.

 

[Kennethparker]

I listen to music and it works for me.

 

[paracarl44]

Drink a beer.

 

[DontAskJusTckle]

Watch PMSNBC. Puts me out like a light.

 

[Kennethparker]

Hmm...I either play my guitar or listen some cool musics.

 

[paracarl44]

Find something to read.
