What do you do when you can't sleep and you're bored?

Question

How do you get to sleep? How do you keep yourself busy?

weasley8 · Accepted Answer

I have too many things to do. Maybe that's why I never get to sleep. I make myself something to eat, go on here, watch Netflix, read a book, write a book, write a play, write a screenplay, listen to music, write music, write poetry, set poetry to music, do logic puzzles, write a journal entry, solve math problems, make a graph because for some reason that's fun for me, make a list, get a head start on homework, talk to my friends in different time zones, talk to my friends in the same time zone who also don't sleep at normal hours, sing something, play guitar, play piano, play flute, play any other instrument that I own for some reason, online shop, try on the clothes that I already have in new combinations, do laundry, research some random topic online, make elaborate plans for the future, etc etc. I could think of more. But I feel like this is enough to keep me occupied for a while.

I make sure it's completely dark. I would then play an interesting podcast, with a presenter who gase a soothing voice. I would play it with the volume being relatively low. Low enought to be able to hear clearly.

Just a few minutes, and I'm out cold.

soleil2666 · Answer

Understand it is - that word, - normal.
Go there emotionally (scratch your head so you don't lose hair over it)
Don't act on it.
It happens at 5am if you gave a promise you can't keep
Don't give those promises and you'll sleep like a baby.

Melatonin
It's something your body naturally produces, comes in gummy form, and it's extremely hard to overdose on.

I get perfect sleep when I take it. When I don't take it, I can stay up for several days straight
