When you just can't sleep?

[Mr. Rager]

What I usually do is take about 3-5 benadrlys. That works as a sleeping aid, and will make you very drowsy. As long as you do not take too much you will be fine.

push ups always works (for me)

When I can't sleep I usually pull out my pen and start writing some poems, do some push-ups, turn the TV on low or I just listen to some music.

Works for me most of the time.

People usually can't sleep when they are thinking of something important, or if your subconscious mind is trying to tell you to get up and do something, that's why some people turn to Valium for help; unfortunately, your body can build resistance to it, making you increase your dose every time, and eventually get addicted to it. The good news is, if you would want a long and relaxing sleep, a combination of alcohol and a sedative drug can give you just that. Alcohol is an agonist of sedative drugs, which means it can help them do their job: make you sleepy. This means that you do not have to take a large dose of that drug just to get to sleep. You can just take a pill (or half a pill), then have a beer. *This is common knowledge, but just in case some people don't know: Do NOT take beer and aspirin at the same time, it can will kill you.

If you prefer not to turn to sedative drugs, you can always take a nice, hot shower. It always helps me.

P.S. This drug-alcohol combination can make you sleep very deeply though. You might not wake up on time. Hope this helps.

When I can't sleep, I usually stay in bed for another one or two hours just incase I fall asleep - but if I don't after those hours have passed then I go on my computer and then go to sleep later when I'm reckless.

When I can't sleep, I just smash some pushups out or just watch some T.V then I will fall asleep.

I usually grab the laptop in bed when I can't sleep.
If I'm able, I do the usual routine work, dealing with hf matters, working on my sites, etc. etc. but if it's one of those times when I'm too tired to work, and yet unable to sleep, I just post in random threads, and chat with people.

Well I stay on my laptop instead of studying.
