What do you do when you can't sleep?

[gator4798]

Its 5:30am PST right now. I can't sleep. Why not you ask? Well I'm stressing about a few things. But when it comes down to it this is what I do when I can't sleep.

To try to sleep I:
Watch T.V. (Something relaxing, How's it Made usually works)
Listen to music(Mostly Classical with some Opera. EG: Ave Maria or Piano Concerto No1 In E Minor by Chopin. Stuff like that)
If that fails I move on to working at the comp for 1/2 hour then trying to sleep again. If I can't I go through the tv/music rotation once more.
IF all that fails!

What I do when I give up on sleep:
Currently I'm working on my budget(Which is what i'm stressing over)
But I have been know to:
Watch Anime the rest of the night
Go on a long Motorcycle ride
Play games
Watch a movie
Write a computer program that counts sheep for me( Made it once)
Go work out (Thanks 24 hour fitness!)
Surf for a new desktop wall paper for hours on end.

So what do you do when you just can't sleep/ trying to get to sleep?

take drugs......only sort of kidding here i do this as a last resort

mainly i read or hang around a-p ..... i have no life and no schedule so i don't often force the issue...i sleep when i'm tired and do stuff when i'm not sleepy.....being retired has that one advantage ....the rest ....not so good.

I normally don't force it to much either. I like sleep but am a night person anyways. And I can operate 48 hours without sleep. It's not fun but I've had to do it a few times.

read or play till i m dead tired. also watch anime...basically some sort of entertainment and let time do all the work

alcohol tends to work well too, just make sure you are properly hydrated before going to sleep.

I just watch a few subbed anime, its a nice eye workout to make you tired if you play it in full screen.

i also don't force being awake ....many have commented that i'm sort of cat like in my sleeping habits..

Usually I either watch anime, play a new game or read a book until I feel tired. If I don't get tired I just get a coffee and go about my day.

Smoke some Mary J... jk i dont think i can say that here. Uh take a Tylenol PM, and instead of watching a relaxing TV show, try watching a boring one that doesn;t get your mind focused on the TV.

Well i watch anime whole night :D
But then if i cant sleep then i think lots of differend thinks.
