I cant sleep and im relieving the tedium by playing wow and laughing at ramsay's kitchen nightmares.

How do you guys, cope when you cant get your head down.
 
Much to the chagrin of the wife, I turn on the fan in the room and try to angle it only on myself (so she doesn't get too cold). The droning of it puts me right away like a baby. In fact, recently, it's becoming a usual thing for me - I've been finding myself extremely restless/uncomfortable without it. My mind simply can't move away from the feelings of the muscles in each of my limbs. SOMETHING is uncomfortable, and without the noise of the fan I end up just passing out from exhaustion rather than going to sleep.
 
Try to sleep.
Give up after 2 hours.
Turn on pc and straight to OcUK.
Wait till I'm so knackered I can barely walk.
 
For a start I keep away from a computer or the tv as it stimulates you rather than relaxes you.

I just read a book, maybe make a herbal (i.e. non caffeine) tea and let it be. If I still can't sleep I just try and relax and at least rest as best I can.
 
Usually I'll stick my ipod on and choose something calming, like Jack Johnson, and just close my eyes until I feel relaxed/sleepy enough to drop off. I was really ill over xmas and spent one night on here because I couldn't sleep. Unfortunately it did more to keep me awake! :D
