In the Middle of the Night

I usually read. It helps me wind down. Sometimes I’m here at Mylot. Depends on my mood, I think.

The first thing I do when I can’t sleep is see if you’re up. Lol

Hope you got back to sleep. Your body could be starting to adjust to whatever was going on

Hope you were able to fall back asleep. Usually I put on some calm music and if that doesn't work then I get up and watch a little tv

I'm up all night every night. I come on MyLot for 2 or 3 hours; and then I watch TV or sometimes I put my blanket on and shut my eyes, hoping to sleep. That rarely happens.

I closed my eyes and think of a rabbit jumping over the fence. I count backwards from 100 99... That works sometimes if I'm not diverted to I better watch movies then end up still awake til morning

I am sorry that you are not sleeping well, I am not a great sleeper either. On the weekends I just give into it and get up and usually read, although I am usually not up until around 4:30. That still makes for a very long day (off) but I can usually find time to nap. Part of me thinks that I wake so early on the weekends because I look forward to being the first one up and enjoy the quietness. If I cannot sleep during the week, I will come out and play mahjong on my computer, and only allow myself 20 minutes.

Anytime I find it difficult to sleep at night I drink milk. It always help me fall asleep.

It's a tough situation for me because I wake up at 2 am every day wide awake ready to do things, but hubby is sleeping and I can't do anything that would create noise or turn the lights on. So I usually just myLot.
