What would you do if you can't sleep at 3:00? Right now, it's 3:00 in the morning, and I can't sleep. I'm supposed to do something at 6:00! Only 3 hours of sleep left, and I might not even be able to sleep! Give me advice, please.

It depends... If you're not tired at all, you could just use the computer or something. But, you will be tired later today...
Or, you CAN try to sleep...

That's the worst, when you can't sleep and all you can do is sort of countdown to when you are supposed to be waking up.

They say that if you can't sleep, you should get out of bed and do something else for a while, just to train yourself not to worry while you are in bed.

I read an article years ago about how the best way to fall asleep is to let yourself start to dream. I know that sounds crazy, and it's sort of hard to do if you have a lot on your mind. But what you do is you close your eyes and think of what you'd like to have a dream about. Let your mind go with it and don't let any other thoughts creep in there. I like to imagine something that's not too exciting, like a house- I walk from room to room and just look at everything. 90% of the time I'll get to sleep before I get to the kitchen.

haha! I had the same problem a week ago. School here just started and my body clock must have gotten used to my sleep-late-wake-up late policy of the last vacation.

Anyways, if I can't sleep I usually drink water/milk and/or try to do a before-going-to-sleep peeing in the bathroom. If those still don't work then I watch TV or open my computer to do some things.

It's been a LONG time since I was up at 3 in the morning. Usually I would do one of several things - 1) Stay on the computer surfing the net. 2) Play on the PS2, 3) read until I sleep - or more likely a power nap. I do admit it's hard to do when you have a lot on your mind.

Ya. I finally slept at 4:00, and had to wake up at 6:00! But I got through it. Next time, I would try doing all the things you guys do.

i'd say go out and run a mile or two lol. do something to get tired and taht should work. i have that problem to, i can't sleep very early

Doing something boring easily gets me to sleep. Just watch the clock continually and you soon get bored and tired. Sometimes getting up and running around can help, but it wakes everyone else up Readings good as it helps you relax. I also read somewhere that thinking of something yellow also helps you sleep, as yellow is supposedly a calming colour. It also works after running a race to get your breath back or if you are nervous about something.

My List Of Things To Do When You Can't Sleep:
1. Post on the Trap17 forums
2. Edit my Trap17 site
3. Play Runescape
4. Play video games
5. Watch t.v. until I fall asleep
6. Try to sleep
I hope my list helps you!
