What do you do when you can't sleep
 

I hang out and be a pest in the chatroom. cruise the Hot or Not site, Duel online. and generally be a pain in my wife's - - - side.

Your looking at it. Though, it's not much different then my day time activity...

Watch stupid crap on tv or re-read some book for the tenth or twelfth time.

i'm doing it right now!

First I feed the cat, because her demanding food is usually the reason I can't sleep. Then I drink some water or go to the bathroom (I usually need to piss all of a sudden). Then I go back to bed, and back to sleep.

If I *really* can't sleep (unlikely to happen), I wake up and surf the internet or something; do what I do by day.

Usually I call in sick to work first. No way i can stay up for another 8 hours and stare at a wall not able to play games.
Sometimes I put in Lord of the Rings or some other long ass dvd and that will make me drift off eventually.

HAHA! Thats great! I fall asleep like a little baby after that. Love the smilie dude.

I drink litres of coffee. Cold/Hot depending on season. Eat lots of food an stuff. Browse. Masturbate. etc.

Anything but try to go to sleep. I find that I can never get to sleep if I sit there trying to. Watching TV late at night in the dark will almost always put me to sleep within 20 minutes or so, no matter whats on.

I know I do! Nuthin' puts me to sleep faster than a good nut.

Works wonders for me. A hell of alot better than some damn sleeping pill. more fun too. :D

Heh, how topical for me. Couldn't sleep last night did think about comin' here and having a few posts, but decided might wake flatmate (Laptop in lounge for shared access).

Watched live Baseball instead (dunno if anyone saw the game yesterday), by fourth or fifth inning out like a light.

Usually if I lie down in bed and put the TV on I will fall asleep regardless of what is on.

Even when I don't want to fall asleep I do when lying in bed watching TV usually. This has caused me to miss a lot of exciting sport game endings, so it isn't entirely a good thing.

I usually practice playing the guitar. Last night I couldn't sleep so I started working on a tab for a cover song that Ozzy did.

i usually try to read a book when i can't sleep.

i just lay there and think. but then again, that's usually why i can't sleep in the first place!

I write songs or listen to music

I read because it takes my mind off of the things that make me anxious. I have anxiety problems up the wazoo. :(

Sometimes get online, usually here or the chatroom. But if I don't feel like getting out of bed, I'll just throw on some headpones and let some great music put me to sleep. It works most of the time.

I concentrate on keeping my eyes open and trying to stay awake, then minutes later I am invariably asleep.

Usually I lay in bed lookng at the ceiling. Sometimes I read a book. Sometimes I try to mount my wife.

Count BOOBIES! heheh j/k. I just watch TV until my eyes cant take it anymore.

i lie in bed and watch mindless tv (sitcoms or whatnot)

Add a benadryl (before), and it's a foolproof plan.

i normally just down some Nyquil, that knocks me right out...otherwise I am pretty much an Insomniac...

Sleep? I'm a long time insomniac, so I get 3-4 hours anight. If I can't sleep immediatly, I give up and work on some art or surf. I try to avoid waking the wife up in the process.. however, if she is ALSO awake, then it is gaaaaaaaame on. :)

while ($not_asleep=True) {
$sheep++;
}

;)

i was going to say that

Um... depends on why I can't sleep. If its cause i've got too much stuff running through my head, I'll get up, go out into the hall (so I don't wake my roommate) and blast music through my headphones until my mind is blasted into oblivion. Then I go sleep.

Otherwise, its usually not a case of me not being able to sleep, just me not going to sleep. Games, TFP, bad TV shows... the things I spend my nights doing...

Toss and turn until I can't stand it anymore then get up and check out my email.

I put around the TFP! what else would i do!

meditate

Have sex
Watch Cartoons
Drink beer
Go to Huddle House!

Dam GHB regulations.

Jack off... it always puts me right to sleep.

Really it does.

go on TFP, watch a movie, listen to music, eat

I never really have a problem getting to sleep - it's getting me to WANT to go to sleep - you miss out on so much by sleeping! Most of the time in the middle of the night you can find me on the computer or watching a movie or possibly TV. Sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly productive, I'll clean in the middle of the night - it's the only time I truly get any cleaning done.

come here in the titty board!

Play Civ 3 until my eyelids start to get heavy
