What do you do when you can't sleep...other than...

[jacyjones]

I use lavender oil on my pillow. I was advised to use some on a handkerchief in my baby's cot where she could not reach it and I tried it myself and found it worked. That was 16 years ago and I still use it most nights when I wake in the erly hours and can't get back to sleep again.

OMG..... you poor people

My head hits the pillow and i am out light a light. A train could roll through my bedroom and i would sleep through it

I wish i could share this ability because i hate being able to sleep like this. It makes it very unpleasant to wake up when you sleep that soundly

LOL I'm awake quite a bit, but I'm the same way when I do sack out... unless ya touch me. When I was a kid, me and my buddy Taylor was campin out, and he thought it would be funny to scare me outta sleep. He said he started yellin and I didnt move. So he yelled again and nothin. So he panicked (he said he thought maybe I was dead) and punched me in my shoulder, that did it and I woke up swingin. All I remember is he was bawlin his head off with a bloody nose yellin at me for not wakin up...

something to think about: I wake up in the early a.m. and can't go back to sleep only when my Thyroid meds are out of whack.

a good nights sleep....what is that??? You name it--I've tried it. Some nights one will work, the next NOTHING. Once in a very blue moon I'll actually sleep the night away. It's passed down from my dad and his mother for me. They put me on sleep meds at a year old just to regulate me. I'm SO jealous of those who sleep sound.

What did the OP mean by "other than...?"

I turn on KYW1060 "all news all the time" It bores me to sleep! I leave it on all night on low. Tell your self you really do not need all that much sleep...no sence in worrying about it. That is just the way it is. You'll sleep when you are dead. Good Night

I work a little, post a few items for sale on ebay...get bored and very sleepy.

I work crossword puzzles and when the clipboard hits me in the head I know I can turn off the light!

I watch something extremely boring... Like the history channel or home shopping network.

If it's already past 3-4am and I can't sleep, I get up and start my chores. I can usually have everything finished by the time I usually wake up and then I can lounge around with the toddlers all day and do 'movie day'.
