2 am. Bored.

Well, I am bored to death. Just finished reading for the past 4 hours. Now I have nothing to do. I would sleep like a normal person, but I have insomnia. Some times its great, and other times it makes me want to punch kittens in the head (I would never punch a kitten in the head btw. I love animals. ASPCA member right here

) Anywayz... just wanted to get some ideas of what you all do late at night when you can't/don't want to sleep? Think I'm going to go play Fallout.

Reading didn't put you to sleep? That always works for me, that or training vids...

As soon as I'm done checking in on TE, I plan on finishing up one of my assignments. Then I'm going to "nap," and then finish up some more assignments before I go to WGU's mixer.

I find it difficult to sleep in a hotel room.......especially if I'm at a place I've never been before.

Usually for me when my wife is talking to me in the bed. I sleep like a baby

I have never found video games to make me relaxed. Maybe I just get too into them?

Usually I'll do a quick set of pushups and crunchers where I count the reps. Gets my mind off whatever I'm thinking about and usually fall asleep within 30 min.

Have you gone to a sleep specialist and been diagnosed with Insomnia? Insomnia is a very specific disorder, and most people who have trouble sleeping are not insomniacs.

Do yourself a favor and spend some time (and money) at a sleep specialist, who will help determine if you have Insomnia, a Circardian Rhythm Disorder, Sleep Apnea, or something else.

I find reading or watching TV or a movie can help as long as I keep the room dark. Computer monitors are too bright (at least mine are, even with the brightness turned down), so an actual TV or a tablet is preferable, as are a night light or weaker lamp for reading.

Video games make me want to keep playing, and exercise gets my blood moving and makes it very hard to sleep.

I don't think he was asking how to fall asleep at night, but what to do late at night... So still I say Skyrim!
