Moderator ventana Posted March 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2018 Another sleepless night Can't figure out rather it is the administrative stress at work, andropause, stress of having a 2 and 4 year old or something else...... Ended up getting up and doing some computer work, catching up on emails, and developing some lecture material When kids got up at 7 I had a 4.5 hour jumpstart on the day..... feels nice and got some personal time What does everyone else do when they can't sleep??

thinkertdm Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I play Minecraft. I build crazy worlds that I then refine with my 8yo when I get home from work. you tend to forget why you go through this baloney day after day for people who don't appreciate it. So when work takes my sleep, I take that time back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas5814 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have been reading to go to sleep for years. Takes my brain off of whatever is keeping me awake and gets me mentally involved in whatever I am reading (always fiction in bed). A little distraction combined with general fatigue.

thinkertdm Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 if I need the warm milk of reading for sleep, there's two fiction series I fall back on: Roger Zelazny's Amber Series and Allan Cole and Chris Bunch The Sten Chronicles. Comfort reading. Takes me away from the mental perambulations keeping me awake. Generally don't like reading new stuff before bed or if I wake, it overstimulates me.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted March 20, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2018 Really...I'm going to have to be the one who says it? No one is going to bring up the one thing all men do, especially when alone, bored, need to sleep? Fine. I'll say it. I have a snack, preferably with lots of tryptophan. and choke the chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear some orange tinted sunglasses when I do, so the blue spectrum lights doesn't shut down my pineal gland from producing melatonin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
