Watch TV for half an hour, then try to sleep again. Usually its because something is on my mind, so I need to put my mind somewhere else (hence, the TV).
However, I find that I sleep much better if I get off the computer early, say 9PM. That gives me plenty of time to wind down and get sleepy before a reasonable time to go to bed.
Otherwise I'll find myself still on the computer until 3AM, then I have no means of winding down, so I struggle to get to sleep all night, get up late the next day, and so the cycle continues!
- jwilliams 18y agoI find TV and Computer the worst thing - I think the directed glow/light of the screen isn't good for your body clock... Try reading. Works much better for me.
- chris11 18y agoThere is some evidence that tv watching and computer usage both lower melatonin production, which would keep you up longer. So doing either right before bed probably isn't a good idea.
