How do you spend your time at night when you're not able to sleep? Typically I let myself sink...

I have a friend's group filled with night owls. I talked to 3 of them until 2am this morning because I couldn't sleep. And for the 1st time ever I felt sleepy and said I'm going to bed and I will talk to guys later. I'm usually the last one standing so I was surprised. That has never happened before.

Read a book or do play some sort of game, maybe a word search on my phone. Sometimes nothing helps, just irritates.

I don't have many sleepless nice since I started taking a melatonin gummy and my Dr prescribed a benzo due to the increased anxiety involved.

Hopefully you find something that works. 🤗

Usually stay in bed trying to sleep .. sometimes I'll get up and pet the dogs for a bit or pop on SW for a bit, then go back.

Melatonin has been helping some in getting to sleep better and waking up less, as long as nothing sets the dogs off in the middle of the night.

Magnesium helps me. Sometimes sleep sounds too. I try not to use anything stimulating a hour or so before bed. Other times no matter what you do it doesnt work though.

I light a candle and read. Maybe take a bong hit and diddle. Sometimes I write or draw. I don't hate it because I love night time, it's so peaceful.

I usually just get up and play games on the computer until my brain gets tired enough to stop running in circles. 🤔 Been playing Hades II recently and it's so good. 😌
