Thirteen Things to Do when You Can't Go to Sleep

1. Lay there awake and stare at the darkness. (Been there, done that.)

2. Get up and take some Tylenol and hope you can sleep when it kicks in.

3. Pray.

4. Clean the house. ( I can't do that because it would wake up my husband.)

5. Take a shower or a nice warm bath. (I took a shower before I got in bed the first time.)

6. Color a picture. It's a nice quiet activity.

7. Read.

8. Balance your checkbook.

9. Have a snack. (No, I didn't do that.)

10. Surf the internet.

11. Check the blog...

(Anyone have any more ideas?)
