I'm a bit of an insomniac and I was wondering what others do in the middle of the night when the world sleeps.
I play on the computer and eat things that are bad for me:bigrin: sometimes I read.

I write, I watch Net Flix. It all depends on the topic, and if I'm hurting or not.I sometimes get into a jag of making my jewelry. Sometimes I'll get so absorbed in writing that I 'lose' time, and will look up to discover that its 2 or 3 in the morning..lol.

Well I have never had the best sleeping habits. When I am stressed it is worse. I will have a cocktail but that often makes it work. I will watch food tv and chat on here. Or I will watch movies...the same one over and over and it lulls me to sleep. There are times when it really works...some of you know as I have been known to fall asleep at the key board.....fingers stuck on the keys.

Years ago I learned a technique from Yoga called deep relaxation. Works for me.
I am not a practitioner of Yoga. I just learned that one trick. It was easy to learn.

We play LOTRO, Neverwinter nights, Sacred, Mabinogi, or any of the other games we have. When we aren't doing that, the wife reads and replies to Doggyspace while I surf through these forums, Pagan sites or Aviation forums or I fly my flight sims. I also do a little writing when the muse is there. I save my chainmaille work for the daytime, when there are good shows on to listen to while I work (I loathe infomercials).

I am glad that I am not the only one who often has trouble sleeping---I get on the computer--either online or working with photos I have taken---sometimes I do watch the TV---usually finding some films on On Demand that I had missed when they first came out--

i am an insomniac so what i do to help (well maybe) is i either play on the computer.... play a video game, write music, read, or clean. depending if i am in pain or not. if i am in pain i usualyy do something that takes the least amount of movement possible.. thankfully my pain is down to the point(or i am just used to it) where it doesnt bug me as much as it used to :D

I come here and check the forums
Not saying that that's a bad thing mind, I often come here repeated throughout the day. I also surf the net elsewhere, checking e-mails and private messages on various personals sites such as facebook n thingbox n dudesnude n stuff and check any subscription updates or other random stuff on youtube and stuff.

That's not something you do when you have insomnia, that's something you have insomnia when you do it.:bigrin:

I hope my stories didnt put Magick to sleep..lol ;) ;)
Many many years ago, I learned a technique called Bio-feedback, a form of self-hypnosis to aide in sleep, and to control pain.
It was called Dream Walking by Native Americans Way before white man's wording of it. (Same principal as Bio feedback) Its it amazing that they practised it well in advance of technology...:}
Sweet Dreams when you get some my friends.

On those nights I can't sleep...I tend to surf on my computer....possibly doing a bit of online shopping (which is a bad habit to get into LOL!) or watch bad tv...and very often find myself going to sleep during some bad shows right when they are getting ready to end....therefore never seeing the end....BUT...leaving me those same bad shows to watch yet again when that problem comes up once more LOL!!

When I can't sleep, I have several ways to knock me out. If I'm at home, some cheese or a bowl of something with Alfredo sauce and a couple of beers will relax me enough. I have a mix of songs I call "Sleepytime," that is mostly instrumentals, ambient pieces, etc., that never fails me. Or, I can surf up some porn and have a couple off--who doesn't pass out after a good orgasm?

I like to read and sometimes I will get onto the net and see what weird articles i can find. I also sometimes like to watch Netflix. That is pretty much all that I do. Most of the time thou when I will watch something that i have seen a million times that puts me to sleep. Hope that you get some rest. lil bit

It is 12:25 PM, I am really sleepy, and so I am going to bed. I will be asleep in less than one minute. If I wake up before I am suppose to get up, I will get up and pee. Then, I will go back to bed and be asleep less than a minute later.
I like my sleep routine.

I just read I dream a dream and I don't think sleepy is the right term. Turned On, Really Turned On and wide awake.:drool:
