Can't sleep...open

What do you do when you can't sleep

I normally don't go on the internet but CC was down all  night so I decided to do it now

When I cant sleep I hit the treadmill then the hot tub followed by a hot shower. 

This is pretty much a nightly occurrence for me. :( 

Hot bubble bath. Watch way too many movies. Work on school. Go on the treadmill if I haven't gotten in enough exercise during the day. Cooking for the week. = / Second to not go crazy on the junk food (didn't succeed tonight for the first time since starting). The relatively common diet rule of "Close-the-kitchen-at-7/8/whatever" totally doesn't apply for me. xD I follow "Close-the-kitchen at midnight", since I can expect to be going to bed about 4 hours later.

I've definitely had my share of insomnia over the last year and a half.  I finally went to the doctor to get some meds to help me sleep - so the last week has been great!

But I used to take warm bath with calming bath salts, light a candle instead of turning the light on.  Or I'd get up and go lay on the couch, make myself comfortable with a blanket and pillow, and turn the TV on.  Reading is also great!

The worst thing for me was trying to stay in bed, because I'd only get more and more frustrated that I couldn't sleep!  After about 20 minutes, get up and do something else... then try again!

Good luck!

Reading or TV help me!

I use the tv to help me fall asleep at night. Especially since they've started showing these infomercials I could care less about.

I absolutely need sound to go to sleep + need to be reading a good story or watching a good show (I basically make my own character and my own happenings in the story).  Otherwise I think about... bad things that make me depressed, heh.

But if I can't sleep, I just sit and watch the tv till I feel tired and drift to sleep.
