I watch the peacefully sleeping cats and dog who will be waking me at the crack of dawn once I finally get to sleep. And since we're being honest---that sleep probably came after I did. Tim

Never ever go shopping, because if I do, I buy all sorts of things that I wonder later how I could possibly have thought they were necessary. Or even desirable. Try to do something besides think about trying to sleep. One night I made my daughter a new skirt & blouse for school the next day. Boy was she surprised! Conduct the Boston Pops along with Arthur Fiedler. The best one for this is The Grand Canyon Suite. Eat. That's a very bad plan. I count my breaths. I have a deal with myself that if I make it to 100 twice, I get to get up & do something else. I've never made it past about 150. If I can't sleep because I'm worried that I won't be any good at work tomorrow if I don't get some sleep, I promise myself that I can call in sick when the alarm goes off. That always puts me right to sleep. Read. And read. And read. Never ever under any circumstances do I try to go to sleep. That never works. My brain likes to phuk with me & will keep churning out thoughts for days. Having been a life-long insomniac, I got a million of these!! [8D]

Read. [8\|] Try to find something good on tv, which there rarely is. [8\|] [&o] Try to get past my writer's block and actually write something. [:(] If i have access to a computer with internet, then i'll most likely be found websurfing. [:D][:D][:D] Make a cup of tea/coffee and/or a light midnight snack. [:)] If i'm really out of it, i'll clean/organize stuffs (which, if it can be alphebetized, i'll aphabetize it, too). [:'(] / [:)] Ooh, and listen to the radio, too. And play a game or two of Yahtzee (those little handheld thingies). Or play chess on my cell phone. Ooh, there's always my deck of tarot cards, too.

Drink Hot Chocalate

KrysFyre -> RE: When I have insomnia, I.... (10/18/2008 2:55:38 AM)
Well first thing i do is read (something mildly entertaining, but no thought required), followed by a few sit-ups, back stretches (after exercise your body feels a little sleepy) and then when i'm icy cold get into bed (warmth lulls you) Works like a charm...most of the time.

sirsholly -> RE: When I have insomnia, I.... (10/18/2008 2:56:47 AM)
read or shop on Ebay.

soul2share -> RE: When I have insomnia, I.... (10/18/2008 5:17:49 AM)
Lay there looking at the ceiling getting more and more frustrated! Finally will get up to watch some TV or surf. Poke KB, just cuz it's not fair that he just fell asleep in the warm spot on the bed I just vacated! (Besides, he wakes me up enuf that payback sometimes feels good!) Ny-Quil......wonderful, wonderful Ny-Quil.....works better than the prescription stuff, altho I have some of the strangest dreams! Benedryl does it too......sometimes they are pretty terrifying! The ONLY thing I do in bed is read and sleep.......I've been trying to condition my body and mind in that when I go to bed, pick up a book, that it's bedtime......for about 25 years now!!!! Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't.

Greetings Master Tim, I often have insomnia. My head won't shut up so all things being equal, I do logic puzzles. I do sudoku or those ones that are like... Sue stands behind the man in the dark hat and if Barry stands behind a woman, then Joe is in the front of the line. Sometimes reading helps. At least with reading it's interesting. Suenos con los angelitos, maestro. Well wishes, sunshine (dimming so as not to disturb your rest *winks)

*I live in a state of sleep deprivation. Insomnia sounds like heaven.*

When I can't sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep, and then I fall asleep counting my blessings... Hypnosis works for me. Dave Dobson's Beach Trip specifically. well wishes ~ fairer
