Re: What do you do when you can't sleep?
I usually just stay up till I'm finally so tired that I will fall asleep.
Lousy feeling though you described, just lying in bed, the body is tired, but the mind is active.
Sometimes, I find lying on my back, and taking slow deep breaths and exhalations can quiet the mind and bring that much needed sleep.

I've tried doing guided sleep meditations in bed and those don't work anymore. My mind's stubborn.
 Quoting: NoMoreMsNiceGirl


One thing I have tried that works, and it's all natural, is taking potato starch with water before bed.
You can read about this on the net, it really works, and your sleep will be very deep, as well your dreams will be quite vivid.

But you really need it?

And you know if you get into your bed, you're just going to lay there unable to sleep.

And no, I don't have Nyquil. lol

I normally work it off doing something strenuous until I'm fatigued, takes an hour or two depending how wound up you are, but it always does the trick.

Hmm I don't much that's strenuous. I work out, but I don't kill myself doing it. I work out around 4ish, I can't work out later than that because I like to have everything done by a certain time every day. But, ty for the suggestion. :)

:( I'm trying, but numb is really hard for me. I have done that in the past (but only for an ex lol); I don't know that I can with this. My sister sure can though...and to be honest, it pisses me off, but I know it's her survival mechanism.

I know I do. :)
