I have been getting up lately and doing tasks, I find that eventually I do get really sleepy, where as if I am laying in bed I just have too much empty space to think and worry about not falling asleep.crazyjojameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470220441634365087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486325429771539945.post-26054998225085996012011-08-30T12:58:21.869-07:002011-08-30T12:58:21.869-07:00Pray!

Often, the effort of keeping your eyes open and writing will weary you back to sleep.<br />2. Get up and do the tasks you are considering. One of the major rules for dealing with insomnia is to never lie there trying to fall asleep for more than 30 minutes.
