What to do when you can't sleep??

I tend to watch TV or read until I feel drowsy enough to sleep. Some times, I'll turn off all the lights and stare at the ceiling and try to get my restless brain to let me go to sleep.

If the lights in my room are not off, I wouldn't be able to sleep one bit. I need the room to be pitch black before my brain can start proceeding sleep.

I just lay in bed and hope that I will eventually fall asleep. I don't like getting out of bed if I can't sleep, I prefer to just stay in bed.

It has happened to me many times. I would keep rolling on my bed but I found lying in bed and calming my mind as a very good way to help. You can also try deep breathing and also listening to soothing music.

That's another measure to sleep. Different strokes for different folks. I don't like sleeping when there's a little noise. Noise can make me to stay awake but noise helping you to sleep is another thing.

There are variations that people have concerning sleep. It’s interesting to note that what makes some people to sleep, may not work for others. Some prefer silence, others prefer loud music. So, everyone seeks what will suit him or her best to achieve their goal of sleeping well at night.
 
I can't really do a lot if I can't sleep because I have a partner and I don't want to wake them up with my phone light 😛 I just toss and turn until eventually I get tired from that.

I used to have insomnia quite a lot but it's not too much of an issue anymore.
 
When there were times I couldn't sleep, I used to get up, go downstairs, jump on my laptop and have a drink but I soon found that was not helping me and instead, causing me to still not be able to sleep.

Now I tend to just lay in bed with my eyes closed and eventually I shut off.
