    That's what I do also. I am the only one awake. And that's the way I like it.

    I flip on the TV to something with a dark background and eventually fall back to sleep. Then I wake up again and turn the TV off and go back to sleep!

    I have a terrible problemm of not sleeping. My mind gets too busy or my body hurts too much. I watch a lot of TV for that. I think about my family and pray for them. I wish I could sew while I could not sleep I would get a lot done but I cannot concentrate on it/
