What do you do when you can't sleep? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MidnightRose21498 · 11-30-2002, 10:04 PM

I've had this problem for about five or more months now. I wake up at least four times a night. Just can't get comfortable, itching, hot, ... whatever... just can't sleep.

What do you do when you can't sleep? Is there anything to do to make you go back to sleep? I've heard that warm milk helps but just the thought sounds totally gross.

Warm milk is actually pretty good

But I either read, listen to music, come online, paint my nails.... I do anything really.

- Go on the net
- Watch TV
- do some homework... now that would REALLY put me to sleep, but, oh well.

I normally turn on the TV and put on a sleep timer and try to fall asleep to any sort of show, as long as it's not the news.

Well, I haven't had homework in two years but I know what you guys mean about that.

I just lose sleep and feel like a walking zombie at work. Not too fun.

I have pretty bad insomnia....i try writing and watching movies. sometimes hot cider will help if im stressing out. my aromatherepy helps too. Try lavender scented candles or petals around your room.

Watch TV. Actually, once to help me fall asleep faster, I did this stretching routine sitting in bed. It calmed me down and helped me fall asleep faster. I usually just watch TV though.

Mr. Shy Guy · 11-30-2002, 10:33 PM

I watch TV and/or get something to eat.
