Insomnia amusement

[misskittyrawr]

As someone who rarely sleeps, I often find myself extremely bored at night.

What do you do when you can't sleep? What would you recommend to either entertain me or alternately, put me to sleep?

Wikipedia or youtube surfing are always fun. Also just listening to music on my ipod/itunes.

I'll also sometimes get a desire to clean and reorganize things. That happened a lot in college when I couldn't sleep and I decided to clean my desk off (which was in an ever-present state of messy).

I want to clean but I'm trying really hard not to wake up my SO who can sleep :p I'm going to go back to youtube, for sure

I usually read (generally bad) fan fic, or I write. Right now, I'm chatting with people and about to start proofreading a story that I finished earlier. Sometimes I play games. It just depends on how awake I am or what I'm up for.

hmm bad fan fic sounds pretty awesome right now! ha!

[ayumidah]

Haha, yep, it helps pass the time pretty well since there's so much of it ;)

Podcasts! I'll put them on not very loud and try to sleep. That way it's not boring and there's no light in the room.

I'm going to try this tonight

I'm doing 6 chapters worth of Excel homework. If anything would put somebody to sleep, this would be it.

Oh why did I wait until a day before it was due to *start*?

Oh I'm smarttttt.

[misskittyrawr]

oh no! waiting til the day before is so terrible! I do it EVERY TIME. Why?!!??!

From one insomniac to another, you really learn to not get bored. It has helped me immensely.

However, until you accomplish that, how about Reddit!

On reddit! maybe it's just time to find new subreddits....sadly, I get bored SUPER easy. I;ve been struggling with the inability to sleep for as long as I can remember, and I just...I lose interest so quickly. It's terrible!
