    If I'm not half out of it by 10 on a work night then I take Melatonin. If I'm still awake by 11 I take Benadyl.

    I think about how bad my room or the bathroom needs cleaning, and that I should get up and go do that right now, since I can't sleep anyway. Knocks me right out.

    I take 2 benadryl.

    Love Benadryl. (Well, generic diphenhydramine, because I'm cheap.)

    If that doesn't work, I read with a very dim light (a dollar store book light clipped to my Nook). If that doesn't work, I watch tv, especially TV Land. I need something to distract me from my own brain.

    I've heard Valerian Root works really well, but I've never actually tried it yet. The Weather Channel seems to work well for me.

    Unfortunately - I do this a lot. I'll sit up in bed and read with the lamp low. Sometimes I'll go curl up on the couch. For some reason I fall asleep out there easily. I'll putz around the house and do some quiet things that need done.

    Either have my husband talk to me or read a friend's research papers.

    Mostly, I rub the nub.


    LOL

    I'll toss and turn for a bit, trying to get back to sleep, but that usually doesn't help, so I end up wandering the Interwebz. Sometimes ambient music or other background noise helps.

    Sit on my window sill and count the stars. Then get all depressed because they probably don't even exist now.




    Or *kitten*.
