I either play games on the computer or look at the quilting board if I am behind. I am concerned that I would mess up a quilt or get too interested in it and not sleep all night. Of course, I have done that. Usually after about an hour I can go back to bed and sleep. I turn on my MP3 player. Have books on it that lulls me to sleep lots of times. I went to a specialist several years ago. One of her suggestions was go to the coolest place and read the telephone book. That would drive me crazy instead of putting me to sleep. Hope this doesn't become a chronic condition for you.

I usually put on soothing music - some from a reiki site and others are just soft music, I read, meditate, usually go to sleep within minutes. usually sleep well. I have recently learned about gemstones so put some under my pillow at night too.

I am up at 3:00 tonight because I was not happy with DH and went to bed early to avoid saying rude things. Now it is 3:00 am and I am awake but at least I didn't ignite WWIII with this stubborn man. LOL
