I rarely sleep through the night. I'm always tired. I have no idea why but I always wake up a few hours after I attempt to sleep. Some nights I just don't sleep and I'll be up for days at a time. My grandpa is the same way and so is one of my aunts on my mom's side of the family, which I find interesting.

Normally, if I need to sleep and can't, I eat something and make sure nothing can distract me. I turn my lights off, computer off, and my phone off. If that doesn't work then I just end up staring into the darkness until I need to get up. I can't take pills because I'm allergic and refuse to try to take anything for sleep since last time I did it almost killed me.

If I can't sleep and my hubby is up, I'll text or call him for a while until one of us gets tired. That normally helps calm my mind down and get me to sleep.
