| Hey everyone! It's currently 3:52 am here and I've just been drawing, and now I'm planning on trying to sleep, and I just randomly started to wonder what you all do when you can't sleep. I usually either draw, play some games, or lay down and listen to music until I eventually manage to fall asleep. What about you? Also on a side note, do you ever watch shows or movies while you're tired? I never do that because if I'm sleepy I start to doze off and might accidentally miss key points of the episode or movie. Sometimes I just put on a movie or an episode of something I've seen before though. What about you all? What helps you fall asleep? |
| What I do when I can't sleep: Listen to music, talk to people, watch videos, read. Sometimes I'll have an energy drink or soda to be more alert and feel better if I'm going to stay awake anyway. What I do when I try to sleep: Eat, go to the bathroom, turn off all lights and electronics (not applicable if sleeping during daytime), lie on my sides (tossing and turning) until I fall asleep. It usually takes me hours to go to sleep, so falling asleep while not lying down isn't an issue for me. |
 |
| I go to MAL to seek a calm atmospherebefore the storm. |
| I usually listen to music or read something. I never watch a movie when I'm tired for the same reasons. |

| One thing that often helps me fall asleep is reading a book with long, complicated and boring descriptions of scenery (of which there are too many in the old classics). Also, if you have a good enough self-discipline, the best way would be to work efficiently enough during the day in order to have less regrets and worries, and be more tired. As for falling asleep while watching something, I'd have to be very very tired. If it's interesting (if it's not I wouldn't watch it) it will usually keep me awake enough to understand it. |
| I curse my fate and think about sleeping. |
| can dis sig fit |
| i just watch random YouTube videos or read askreddit and realise how uneventful my life is... (and then eventually i fall asleep) |
   |
| I don't sleep that night and then spend the next day living off of sugar until I crash for a few hour nap. |
 |
| I Watch Random Stuff on Channel 4OD And BBC Iplayer Until I'm Tired |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| I count numbers in my head when I can't sleep (seems like counting sheep ;p) Reading textbook is another way that is efficient for me. |
 |
| Well, watching anime seems to put me to sleep these days. |

| I hate sleeping actually, so I don't, but I don't have much trouble when I want or have to sleep. |
     |
| I listen music, watch videos on Youtube, read a book, watch a show or a movie. |
| Only listen music soundtracks/osts smth from nostlagia games like warcraft 3 or PoP |

| If I can't sleep I usually get on my phone or put something on to watch to fall asleep to |
  |
| I read off my phone and listen to soft music |
| Doing some sorts of imaginations. Well, I usually do it when I'm going to sleep. |
 |
| I try to think a lot, that worns me out. |
| Usually, I'll play on my phone until I feel tired enough to sleep. Or I'll listen to some music. If neither work, I'll join a call with any discord friends and that usually gets me to sleep fairly quick. |
･ﾟ☆✧you were like a glass and I always melted in you  |
| I usually just sleep when I'm actually sleepy or tired. If I don't feel sleepiness at all I just don't sleep and stay awake for the whole night/day, and wait for the next night then fall asleep, when exhaustion starts to kick in. |
| I usually either browse through my social media or watch YouTube videos. |
| Focus on the sound of my breaths. This ceases thoughts, which distract from sleeping. |
  WORK IN PROGRESS ~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~ I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit, Adenomata affronted. It was the verecund, dismissed creatures That I jubilated in most. This rabbit I would nurture, At the aiguille of esse, The anneal of noblesse. ❤️ Birdie ❤️ |

| You can use a Blue Light Filter for your device so that your body will start to produce necessary hormones to make you sleepy :)! Blue light from your screen stimulates cortisol production which keeps you awake. I find watching some slice-of-life before bed calms me down. |
| I stay awake till my body shuts down. |
| i cry. because at night i realize how lonely i am while i ruined everything my life could offer some months ago. press f |
"Stand up and walk. Keep moving forward. You've got two good legs. So get up and use them. You're strong enough to make your own path." |
| I can't sleep cause my head's on fire, don't touch me I'm a real live wire. Anyway, I read books. A screen will only keep you awake |
| Driving on the highway, usually takes it right out of me. OR in the event that I don't have anywhere to go (preferable) yeah just draw, meditate, hang out until I'm tired enough. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| Watching YouTube or reading. These usually put me to bed quite fast, but if the book is really gripping, I may want to sacrifice sleep to finish it. |
| fiddle with my phone, listening to instrumental music. watching youtube videos or make up storys in my head |
