    Default Sleep Depravation

    What do you do when you can't sleep?

    Usually just get up and active until I feel like I can. Lying down thinking about it just makes things worse.

    Right! Thinking about not being able to sleep usually just makes it even harder to fall asleep. I usually just listen to some music, or play my G-Boy.

    Something mindless... Watching movies, playing a non-competitive game, go on various forums, fap. Funny you posted this, I'm on zero hours of sleep and about to go into class to present a project. I blame peer-pressure and alcohol-tasting-amazing-pressure. And everyone being off on the weekend.

    Saturday morning classes are never a good idea.

    I listen to piano instrumentals, most of which are FF songs funnily enough.

    Play on my DS usually, this will generally end in my falling asleep and forgetting to put the DS on sleep mode meaning my efforts in the game were useless and need to be re-done it's really effective having to repeat the same missions on FFTA2 6 times a week to get you to sleep.

    Eoff, cause my timezone is different from the majority of the members here. Which most them are active when I am suppose to be in bed.

    Usually I will look for some victims here to harass or chat with until I get really tired. Or if it is almost time for sunrise, I will go to the park nearby and admire the scenery in the morning.

    Roll over. Nah I usually just breathe deeply. Sometimes I can't sleep because I've had a REVELATION so I have to jot that down so it goes away

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Read a book, of course. And try to focus on nothing, which is harder than it sounds but makes you fall asleep really quickly.

    In this particular instance, I've chosen to reply to this thread.

    Usually, I'll watch a movie or catch up on my shows. Sometimes I'll play DS or PSP in bed until I start to feel drowsy. And very rarely, I'll read a book.

    Normally anything on the computer, which probably makes it worse by making me feel more awake. Or, go on my psp and find my way to ebuddy OR..play on pokemon. Though I do that whether am sleepy or awake. . .

    Getting up and doing stretches and exercises, although quietly because I live in a house full of people who go to bed early. It works quite well for me, it also helps a lot with morning grogginess, too. If that doesn't work I just read, listen to music or play video games until I'm fed up with still being awake.
