Sometimes, I just don't know what is gotten into me, I might have one or two sleepless night, which I might toss and turn all night on my bed without falling into sleep. I usually go to bed around 10:00 P.M. during weekdays, and get up around 4:30 A.M. early in the morning. So, if I can't really sleep, I can simply lay on bed with my eyes wide open. I might sit up and turn on the light, and start reading or browsing the net on my laptop, until I felt my eyes tiresome, then I would try to sleep again. Actually, I bought a bottle of those sleeping pill, but I won't dare to use them if I knew I have to work early in the morning, because I might miss the time and when the dose strong, I will oversleep. So, I rather be tired during the morning, and take a longer nap at the afternoon. What is your method when you have such sleepless night?

When insomnia struck me, I usually take it as an opportunity to finish my literary works: writing articles or posting web blogs. After a few paragraphs, I eventually feel myself becoming sleepy.

Sleepless night mostly happen to older people like me, and it took me until 1:00 am in the morning to have a nice sleep. It was really a difficult situation for years, and many things came to my mind as I was on the bed. There was once upon a moment I looked at my fingers and moved one finger as my mind told me to do so. So, I tried this method telling myself to sleep for many times while trying to disregard whatever thoughts came to my mind. After many days of doing this, I can have a quicker sleep than before. From then on, sleepless night no longer occupies my life, and this I believe is matter of controlling oneself with determination or concentration whatever is called. Anyone may try this method, but don't give up easily for it is also difficult at the beginning.

I have lots of nights where I cannot sleep. I just get up and work and get suff done around the house. I do eventually get tired enough to finally close my eyes and sleep.
