Can't Sleep?

What do you do when you cannot sleep?

As I sit here on my patio enjoying the windy weather...wondering what other twitter friends do when they cannot sleep....twitter is kind of quiet in the middle of the night...

Hoping you find sleep soon. I don't have kids at home anymore nor a "real" job so I can sleep in. It's much more fun having insomnia when you don't have to worry about the consequences.

Goodnight!; ▶ Reply to This

I get insomnia quite often then the kiddos have me up at the crack of dawn Totally not fun, I often wonder how I can survive But hey I am just fine :D; ▶ Reply to This

If I just KNOW I'm going to have a rough night my last resort is to take a Tylenol PM. But it IS my last resort and I only take it for one or two nights in a row.; ▶ Reply to This

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't but I figure at least I'm resting my body and my eyes so it's a start.; ▶ Reply to This

It's like a sparkly bedtime story. I have actually trained my brain to associate JTV with sleep. My husband often tells me not to fall asleep if I walk past the jewelry store windows in the mall. :); ▶ Reply to This

I love those ladies with their big blond hair and those long fingernails and all that jewelry. I've bought jewelry from those channels before, I must confess!

Brad works nights so, we never know when one of us will be up or sleeping. LOL!
Guess I do not have any real schedule.
