What do you do when when you can't sleep?

[Snow 5,305]

when i cant sleep i blast power metal to give me an adrenaline rush than, after a few minutes it crashes and i become tired as hell and fall to sleep

[~Sassy Dashie~ 712]

If I can't sleep I lay in bed on my phone and either watch something like anime or youtube, or read/write fanfiction till I fall sleep. Usually takes a couple hours...

[IsraelYabuki 439]

I listen to some soft music until I feel drowsey and turn it off, drink my water, and go to sleep

I flip my blankets and pillow and sleep on the other end of the bed (upside down or whatever), strange but it seems to work for some reason.

 

I also have a cup or two of wine these days to slow down the thought processes a bit.

[Mysteli 25]

Not falling asleep right away was doesn't exist anymore for me so this is something I don't have worry about anymore. Now days due to having a constant schedule of late day works shifts I don't have to worry about getting up in the mornings so I only go to bed when I'm tired and can fall asleep easily.

 

Before this though I use to listen to clam music or ambient sounds depending on what I had a feel for.

Do you at least use the Twilight app (not Twilight Sparkle lol) to tint and dim your screen? The brightness and natural colors of the screen aren't good for getting to sleep to, but rather they keep you awake.

Lie my head on a pillow, close my eyes, and pretend a horrifying monster is going to bite my head off if I move a muscle. It usually puts me to sleep...

Listening to music, watching stuff or messaging friends that are online at the time always helps. 

[Starbright Sparkle 55]

watch hulu watch tv or mostly play games XD

[The Diver 760]

Get out of bed, grab a beer out of the fridge, pop in a VHS movie, sit on couch, fall asleep. Works every time!

[Rawzy 1,302]

I usually just listen to asmr to get me to fall asleep, after calculating how many hours of sleep I'm actually going to get

[twiia 1,842]

Do something boring, and you might just sleep. Or simply try to stay up.

[ARagY 1,152]

Depends how late it is. If it's early on, probably stay up a little longer. If it's late, try to wreck myself until I can't stay awake anymore. Car manual, biochemistry, warm milk, lullabies, running until I can't feel my lungs shrivel up and fall off..

Take Seroquil, Klonopin, and Celexa

 

Listen to music till the meds kick in

[gamecubeguy214 2,511]

I visit the forums because of how relaxing it is to use.

[Middleness Collar 94]

I   never go to the sleep, if I want to sleep  small. I  go to the bed, when I want this very strong

[Rainbow Dash 1,471]

Drive for as long as I can or play video games. Mostly drive around though cause it's at night and no traffic out.

[Luigi 7,868]

What I usually do is just hang in there and remind myself "Each second you lie awake is a second wasted."

 

Sometimes if it's really bad though, I have other thoughts and visualizations that help.

[Lisa 5,552]

Stare at the wall wishing I'd fall asleep.

[Badow 10]

Chillstep~ And if that doesn't work I start a sketch or browse the forums for a controversial topic and argue until I'm tired from thinking.

frig yea i listen to blackmill on a reg but personally to get to sleep i use theta waves scientifically proven to gewt one drowsy (-peeps with adhd[theta like adderal to them]) binural beats heres aan example warning: it will sound forign and creepy at first but the trick is to allow your mind to belive its going to work its the same concept as if you were going to see a hypnotist i.e: it will only work if you belive it will) 

[StormBlaze 992]

i fall asleep really easily when my partner is either in bed or in the room (playing games or music), but i hate sleeping alone. been alone since we moved house, but its only because he's still finishing work, then he'll be here this weekend, but yeah Ive had awful sleep these last few weeks and only two things seem to put me down. Watching youtube videos, mostly long lets plays. like a playlist of Game Grumps would do it. and the second thing is playing on my 3DS. both of these with the lights out just sends me off. just make sure to turn them off when you start dropping off. I think its programmed in my brain to get sleepy when looking at a screen in the dark because i did it so much when I was a kid, you know the playing games/reading with a torch under the covers after lights out. think thats why it sends me to sleep. 

[Opalescent Plasma 44]

When I can't sleep, I Draw haha

[Luminance 2,182]

I open my eyes in the darkness wondering about life in the distant future.

[KiraTakahashi 748]

I listen to music and daydream. If that doesn't help I read or find something on my phone to do.

[Midnight Solace 5,131]

Talk to Twilight, go on the forums, or draw.

[Phosphor 11,523]

I'll usually drink a glass of water and go outside for a bit. Just a few minutes of stargazing helps.
