What do the rest of you do if you have insomnia?
I usually don't get up if I can't sleep. I have a couple of CD's with nature sounds. No chirping birds or screeching moneys allowed. One is rain. The other is the rhythmic, hypnotic sound of surf hitting the beach. The surf one is longer so that's the one I usually use.

The reason I can't sleep sometimes is because my brain wants to stay awake. I am sure that is the reason for most people. But for some reason the sound of the surf gets my brain's attention and shuts it up.

If I need to wake my brain up, I use Mozart or just crank up that lovely melody we all know and love, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly.
