Insomnia

My advice is personal to me and may not work for others.

When you wake up in the middle of the night and cannot sleep, don't try to force yourself to sleep while in bed, get up watch TV, read, go on the net, even make yourself a cup of coffee.

When you feel tired and sleepy, get straight back into bed.

This is what I do too. I find that if I lie there tossing and turning, and feeling frustrated about the fact that I can't sleep, it just makes matters worse. In that situation, I may as well get up and do something to help pass the time, until I feel tired enough to drift back off to sleep.

I don't think others answering in this topic are still active, except untoward

it seeems to be popular issue among us

i used to do it, and sometimes 5h later still unable to sleep i had to get up and go make something to eat because i was hungry again, and angry i wasted 5h

so i don't go to bed these days until I am falling on my face when standing, most of the times when I am sitting  and my head is falling is still not enough to fall asleep in bed because 5min after going to bed  i am wide awake again

so no more calling it insomnia and getting angry

I just have longer days, I joke I was made to live on a different planet that needs more time to revolve
