For some reason, I can't fall asleep after watching tv, it makes me want to see what's coming on next and then I start watching tv.

If I have trouble sleeping on bed, I seldom get up to do something else. I would still lie on bed trying to make myself fall asleep by listening to some radio till I am really sleepy and tired. I don't like the feeling of being awake when it is time to fall asleep for the preparation of tomorrow's work. Sometimes I just count from one to one hundred or more to see if I would fall asleep, but not always can I succeed. There are some times that I got up to surf online again when I could not fall asleep till I was really exhausted.

Yeah, it wasn't that I wasn't sleepy last night, just no matter what I did, I couldn't fall asleep.

I think that you must be very active in the mind. That could be the reason that you could not fall asleep. It is the same to me when I am active in the mind. So I always avoid thinking about anything while lying on bed for a better sleeping quality.

Yeah the one time I slept over my boyfriends and I couldn't sleep I woke him up and made him stay up with me until I could sleep :).

Whenever I couldn't sleep immediately what I do is, I play games with my cellphone, I draw, read books, meditate and listen to relaxing music.

Sometimes I get some food from the fridge, most of the time I get a book and read. Reading a book while lying down really makes me sleepy, especially if the book is boring. So I recommend you to put your dictionary on your bed or anywhere near it. ^_^

I have some meditation CDs that help me fall asleep. Or sometimes I write.
