What will you do if you can't sleep?

[Antares]

OMG that's what I do. I wish someone could invent a permanently cool side pillow.

I do that too! If someone does invent it, I'll be one of the first to buy it xD.
Anyway, when I can't sleep, it's because three things:

1. It's to damn hot.
2. I have exams.
3. I haven't spent my whole amount of energy.

If I have exams, I can't do anything,maybe stay up and just watch my books and stuff. Weird enough, when it's time to take the exam, I don't feel tired lol. If I haven't spent all my energy, I'll just stay up, daydreaming, reading or sewing... yes, I sew. But when it's hot, I'll go and take a cold bath (as cold as I can get living in the Caribbean...), or go to the roof of my house, watch the stars for a while and enjoy the night breeze until I'm cool enough to go back to bed (and, if I'm very tired, just stay out there and sleep xD). If matters are desperate, I go to the store, buy some ice and spread it under my sheets. Yes, I am mad! Oh, a massage always work for me... but for that I need to wake my dad and I'm not that evil...

But if you're having so much trouble, go to the doctor. And, instead of taking pills right away, some herbal teas are very good.

Trust me, in a couple of years you will be able to deal with it. Some of my friends did not sleep for 2 days due to sleep disorder and stress.

Stress is one of my problems too. I have lots of issues!!

[Call Meh Furreh!]

I know something... But I don't think I'll suggest just that... So, grab a glass of milk and a good book. It always works for me.

When I can't sleep, i Just lay there, or go play tetris. That game relaxs me for some reason. Otherwise when I can't sleep, I just go outside and watch the stars. (:

[Khanxay]

Play video games until my parents tell me to go to bed or I get utterly tired.

I used to do that. Until my parents stopped bothering me. Then soon I began staying up really really late. I can't sleep while playing a game.

If I can't sleep I go out to McDonalds and buy a Big Mac meal. Once full, I feel heavy and bloated, then that makes it easier to sleep.

[kaasuten]

i either sing or dance and sometimes i do them both or i just lay in my bed and think.

[Remie-chan]

I either draw, think, or read(reading makes me tired at night). But if it's a steamy summer night then I really have no way of going to sleep. *hates the heat*

[unspun]

when I can't sleep I play a video game, or put on a movie I have seen a dozen times. that usually works.

[Itachi22]

looks at a dark wall and then i fall asleep

[unspun]

what if it's in the middle of the day?

[Baka]

Take something to make me fall asleep.

[DarkRubberDuckyofDoom]

I read books. For hours and hours.... Then I stare at the ceiling for a while. Or I watch late night TV (which is mostly info-mertials) while drinking chocolate milk or orange juice. Then I go back to bed and start thinking about silly things in life I find funny.

[Tsuneki]

I usually read, listen to music, get on the computer, or even watch t.v.

[BlueyedFox]

This may sound strange but I start to clean my room. Walking around putting things up and putting things up and reaching down is a lot of work and it gives me a sense of order while wearing me out.-Plus- when you wake up the next morning your room is clean n_n

[ThE_LoST_ShaDoW]

I usually grab my ipod and listen to some relaxing music. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't, I also find a book and maybe read a couple chapters.

[_CTA_]

what if it's in the middle of the day?

im talking about night

@blueyedfox: maybe after cleaning up you became tired. and its kinda convenient to have your room clean. ^^ ill try that.

any more?

[Alicaryn Silentread]

If I can't sleep, its probably because of one thing: I'm preoccupied, or something is bothering me. So I end up getting back online, even if that's where the problem originated from. I then find someone that I feel secure talking to, that won't be biased, and I talk to them about my problems. Then I take a deep breath, sign off, and lay down defeatedly and drift off to a restless sleep.

Otherwise, I'm always tired, so hehe. I don't have a problem sleeping. Or I'm missing my lovie. )= Missing my lovie makes it hard to sleep. Cause I loves him. =D

[Sword]

smile and enjoy the comfortable warmth of my bed. Unless its hot, in which case i lie there thinking about anything while toss and turn

[zyronet]

well, i'll go and pick something to eat (I'd choose sweets, like chocolate, cookies...) then fly my mind out of this world its like day dreaming.. Or draw or write anything that comes out of my mind, till i feel sleepy and tired..

[Velvet_Nightmare]

I usually put my iPod on on talk to myself for a while. It works pretty well.

[BSSM619]

What will you do if you can't sleep?

I just try to go to sleep,
if I can't go to sleep,
then I have to just lay
in bed until morning.

[nosfarartu]

sleep more sleep or count sheep hahah

[Koshiro]

Usually, I just take a little bit of medicine to help me sleep.

[Grim Scythe]

sports or exercise
and trust me on the relaxation once you calm yourself enough your body will follow
and i thought i had said that daydreaming doesn't help me go to sleep unless im really tired

[Raven 777]

Listen to my iPod. There's a way to tell when I'm ready to doze off; when the song speed starts to get weird (either I think it starts going faster/slower than usual) or I can't pay attention to the music anymore, the lyrics start blurring together, then it's time to shut it off and sleep.

Yeah, that's what I do. Except I don't use an ipod I use something else.
