Insomnia

[[Ju...]]

What do you do to pass the time during the night when you have insomnia?

[[Ho...]]

Lots of things! If I think there is a chance I can fall asleep I might listen to relaxing music in bed. Otherwise I typically get up. At my worst in w/d I was regularly up until 3am or later so I'd read, go on Pinterest, do puzzles, or listen to an interesting podcast/radio program. I would even write poetry sometimes or do art projects- creative juices can flow at interesting hours!

 

Try not to fight with the insomnia and stress about it- try to see that time when you're awake at night as a space for you to find and do some things you enjoy and trust your body will work its sleep cycle out in time. Easier said than done but it really does help!

You can read some success stories or listen to some nature video's..I especially like one on you tube of birds singing and rain..I think it's called rain in the woods ...you can buy adult crayoning too they make lovely pics ...do something that doesn't seem like time was wasted when you could have slept ...when you can't sleep nothing will make you sleep but at least it's good to know you filled in the time .x
