bcpianogal View Profile History	insomnia quiz Posted : 31 Mar, 2011 05:49 AM Here are my choices! When I can't sleep, I: b) Pray. (There's always something to pray about!) c) Take something (sleeping aids, Benadryl, etc.). (Benadryl...unless it's really late and I have an early morning -- I don't want to be "hung over" from the Benadryl!) e) Stare at the wall/ceiling. (Oh so boring...) j) Check Facebook. (And then wonder why no one else is online in the middle of the night!) k) Read. (The. Most. Boring. Book. I. Can. Find.) l) Cry because I'm so insanely cranky. (This one is actually pretty rare, but it has happened!) Post Reply
View Profile History	insomnia quiz Posted : 31 Mar, 2011 10:12 AM The crying one for me is rare, too, but I was almost there last night!!! This is cracking me up this morning, though it's never a matter in the middle of the night. I try reading a textbook sometimes when I can't sleep, but even that doesn't always do it for me. My mind just wanders! Post Reply
stegoodie View Profile History	insomnia quiz Posted : 31 Mar, 2011 05:03 PM b) pray k) read (generally the Bible or whatever else I may be trying to read at the time) I generally don't have this problem. My ex-girlfriend hated that about me and I would always tell her that I have a nothing box in my mind. I just go there and all is peaceful so I can fall asleep in seconds/minutes. Post Reply
View Profile History	insomnia quiz Posted : 31 Mar, 2011 05:20 PM I would have to say my answers were: j) Check facebook. z) None of the above. Please elaborate. My answer to z is to flop around in bed until I fall asleep. I'm kinda surprised that this wasn't an option, to be honest. Post Reply

View Profile History	insomnia quiz Posted : 4 Apr, 2011 10:46 PM Flop around wasn't an option because it didn't occur to me =) I'm not really the floppy type. I tend to either hop out of bed or just lay there and stare at the wall. I can't deal with the tossing and turning. Post Reply
View Profile History	insomnia quiz Posted : 8 Apr, 2011 12:22 AM When I have insomnia, I toss and turn on my pillow. And can't think of anything creative to do. I sometimes log on here and see who's awake on the live chat rooms. Holy smokes! Last time I told a man he had a nothing box he said I was man bashing. Stegoodie, I totally agree with you! I want a nothing box too! How do I get one? Post Reply
