Did u just wonder about life while you were awaking? I would rather get up to study. Why not just waste time lying there? When everyone else is sleep, I am doing something right. It feels so good at some point. What will you do if you can't sleep at night?

I usually wake up 4 times a night or so. I'll usually get a snack or go to the bathroom and then go back to bed. It's a habit-waking up- that I've had since 2001.

I guess it is good to get a snack. I will try it if I can't sleep the next time. Oh, I am sleepy now.

Hi hiddenwing! I am unfortunately awake many nights because I have Insomnia. I am usually online, sometimes here or reading some articles or researching something! If I can't sleep I will also sometimes read too. I love to read and have been making sure I have plenty of books on hand. I can't stand to just lie in bed and think. I have to get up and do something! I have also been known to clean, but now that it's to hot hear that's not an option!lol

Hello! When I can sleep I always do several things. Usually I watch movies on DVD sometimes I think that my house is DVD rent. If I do not have good movies to watch I chatting with my friends in Skype. I often can not sleep, It is good that you are study I do not like study, because school is ended. I study only when I have a study time.

Hi Hiddenwing, I get up toand usually come onto the computer for a bit until my eyes get tired again else I would just be tossing and turning and getting annoyed. I really ought toreplace broken bedside lamp so instead of getting up I could perhaps reaqd until tired again. Huggles. Ellie :D

Well, it depends. There are a few different things that I can do to help fall back asleep. I might just to think of stories, or just imagine things. Sometimes, I might get up and get a glass of milk. Or I might simply read a book and relax a little. These are just some of my options that I can chose from.

If i wake up during the night or more to the point if the children wake me up during the night, i tend to sit in my kitchen and have a smoke and a cup of coffee and then if i am not tired i will sit on the internet and go on a few sites then i will try to get back off to sleep.I tend to wake up if i am in pain or something or someone disturbs my sleep.

Mainly if I cant sleep I tend to do the worst thing ever and lay there thinking about things which keep me awake even more! Sometimes if I am really awake Ill go downstairs and read for a bit to try to make my eyes tired though thats about it

I usually read. Reading is always good, since it is both entertaining and educational. So that is what I do most of the time. Sometimes I get hungry after a while though, and then I might eat something too. But that rarely happens!

Lately I'm spending lots of time on the internet looking for ways to earn here, when I can't sleep (like what I'm doing right now). But before, I just watch t.v. or play video games (psp, nds, ps2).

I just let my mind go wherever it wants, most of the times. Other times, I get up and start writing, on a piece of paper, or on my laptop. Night is the best moment to write, because of the pretty silence around you and everything. But I agree with you, studying while everyone else is sleeping feels so good. When I have my winter exams, I'd rather study during the nights when nobody can disturb me and sleep on mornings.

I keep thinking about everything.. Once my head is full, I try to stop thinking.. But it never seem to stop. Mostly I just lie, with eyes closed, thinking.. M.S.A
