The Internet is the last thing I should be near when I'm trying to get to sleep. I have found that my ability to sleep or not sleep depends greatly on how chaotic my thoughts are once it comes time to go to bed. Frequently, midnight will roll around, and I will feel tired, but I will still be thinking so intensely about things, whatever they might be, that I will find myself in bed unable to sleep because my mind is still churning away. Browsing the Internet only intensifies my late night scatterbrains, so it is usually best for me to avoid it. Typically I have to do something that will help me focus my mind and clear it of extra noise. Usually drawing works well for this, but I have found that doing a short yoga routine really helps, too. Once I get the clutter out of my head I can just crawl in to bed and relax, and usually fall asleep without too much difficulty.

I admit that I abuse my sleep patterns and push them to their limit. Usually my brain starts to empty out at 2:00am if left to its natural devices, and recently 4:00am has become my bed time because I have been working on lots of interesting projects.
