Amen!

 

[Neogaia777]

Poke around on here, most often...

Listen to music/christian radio, television programming, watch video's or listen to music on my computer or phone... Read my Bible or other books at night, and try to get out and do something or go somewhere during the day... Play with my animals...

God Bless!

When my wife can't sleep she gets me to read to her! My voice always puts her to sleep!

That's cool... She doesn't find you boring or exhausting does she...?

She says my voice gives her a sense of security. Lol

I think about my day, the things I did that could have been done better. Analyze the interactions I had with people through-out the day and try to determine how they may have perceived me. I think about the following day and what I may plan to do.

However; I am unsure if this is what I do when I can't sleep, or if this is what I do that makes me unable to sleep.

If you are more curious on what I do to force myself to sleep, as of late, I pray. Usually, though, I don't pray for myself or others. I pray to God for forgiveness of various things I did during the day that were bad for my character or my neighbor. For, I think, if I come to a blank mind when asking myself what I need forgiveness for, I realize I am losing bearing on becoming a better person. Whether it's bitterness I had when someone cut me off while driving, or inconsiderate actions such as me being that person who cut someone off, or even if it's a sinful action I committed.

Usually when I talk to God, my mind grows quiet and I can fall asleep.

Psalm 127:2

I find this interesting, though I don't fully interpret it.

What do you do?

I usually just try to think of story ideas until I go to sleep.

 

[timewerx]

Read my book on vintage British WWII warplanes.

 

[sunshineforJesus]

I go online for a while or pray.

Awesome, I was trying to funny when I said that... When I would discuss big profound things and concepts with my spouse she would sometimes start to yawn or get sleepy and tired, and need to take a nap...

Reminded me of a Mcdonald's commercial, where the guy was really excited and talking on and on to his girlfriend and she yawned and said, that's great honey, in the middle of a yawn and said she wanted to sleep...

God Bless!

 

[Wolfe]

I don't sleep.

 

[tturt]

Like to listen to Psa 145, Paul Wilbur's music especially Jerusalem Arise, etc.

 

[musicalpilgrim]

Psalm 127 2... for God gives rest to his loved ones.

 

[sunshineforJesus]

I don't sleep.

Why not?

 

[Wolfe]

Why not?

Cause sleep is for the weak.

Also, severe brain damage.

 

[sunshineforJesus]

oh Im sorry to hear that,Dont you eventually wear out from exhaustion though?

 

[Wolfe]

oh Im sorry to hear that,Dont you eventually wear out from exhaustion though?

Eventually, yea.

Until my doc okays me for sleep pills, this'll be how it is for a while.
