Because it makes me feel fresh, and one of the reasons i can't sleep is because my throat is dried.
and my ear is plugged... but i can't fix that can i?

what do you guys do when you can't sleep?

play guitar.....draw....anything that fills up the time till i feel tired....

haha. playing the guitar.
do you have any siblings? i'd imagine they would kill you for that.

I make myself horribly uncomfortable so I WANT to go to bed. I rest my feet on a cold AC unit, turn the lights off and just stare at a concentrated source of low light (computer screen/TV/etc) so my eyes get tired.

Speaking of which, my toe feels like it's going to fall off, and my eyes are about to bleed, so g'night.

I should totally go to bed right about two hours ago. Or more. *sigh*

When I can't sleep I draw or write--jot down notes for comics and stories.

If I really cannot sleep I go online--but I don't look up anything I usually go to--none of my regular sites. I might go to Wikipedia and look up something I don't really know or have interest in. Say I read a page on child labor in turn-of-the-century Russia, or something. Soon I'm so tired of reading that I just doze off! I always fall asleep when doing homework, guaranteed, so this induces the same effect.

Sleep? Is this some sort of government conspiracy?

Insomnia always makes me want to play video games - so that's what I do.

Nothing. Oh I try to do other stuff, usually getting extra work done so I can justify being lazy later, but all I do is sit and stare at whatever I'm attempting to do before going back to bed and trying to sleep again. Which I manage about an hour before I have to wake up.

Watch t.v until it puts me to sleep!

Make up stories, or take some pills.

I get in my car and drive around. It's fun =D

Is it really a good idea to drive around while tired? I used to go for long walks until I nearly got hit by a car, multiple times. I don't learn easily.

I usually drink half a bottle of whiskey and watch porn. <shrug>

no siblings....when my wife lived with me, i never had a problem falling asleep if she was already in the bed.....(and no i dont mean after sex, i just mean that it was so comfortable, it was just easy to fall asleep)...

I do the thing after that and ill be asleep in no time.

I usually just have some Non-Alchoholic Swedish Grog. Bought from Ikea.


Then I'm out like a light.

drink some water

That's what I do. After about 20 minutes I usually can't keep my eyes open and go to bed.

i read the drunkduck forums, that usually gets me sleepy

that place could get really boring at times XD.

I agree; there's something about having a warm body in the bed next to me that really helps my sleeping habit. It took some getting used to at first, but now I love cuddling up with my husband. He's like a giant teddy bear.

I can't imagine not being able to sleep, unless I'm worried about something. Then forget it. Nothing's going to knock me out.

Sounds good. I think i'll try this one to see if it works.

ditto. or I do something competely random, like create 5 pies and bake them until 1 am in the morning. At least when I wake up, my home smells delicious =D

I watch TV.

But only if I'm having a horrible nightmare.

...I typed them out, but I deleted them because they're a little too much.

Watch tv or anime on the internet. Either will eventually put me to sleep...

Yeah, I find that watching TV in the dark can make my eyes very droopy.

Drink more coffee.

I play video games. Or stare at my bedroom lighting. Or both.

...somehow

meh I don't like salad...
