I suffer from insomnia so I know what you mean. I watch a lot of t.v. or watch shows that I taped months ago. I also clean out my email box. And if all else fails, I write in my journal. And sometimes look out the window and enjoy the quiet.

I lay there and try to sleep.....if nothing comes eventually I will get up but mostly it comes to 4-6am that I fall asleep....

Oh, I feel you! For me, audiobooks have been a Godsend. I enjoy listening to them, and before I know it, I'm sound asleep!

Night time is difficult for me too. During the day I fill my time with going to the library and reading the daily papers or magazines there. Increasingly I am seeing stories about the perils of becoming too attached social media. I only use a flip phone use this site and Facebook on my PC. This decision and coming here do a lot toward feeling better. Still looking for more ways.

I too use a flip phone. I love it! I find it harder and harder to connect with people without relying on the computer. I too hope to find ways to when I am feeling lonely. Grateful for this group.

I must admit that I go through the dark night of the soul so to speak . The middle of the night is the vey loneliest .

I begin lifting. I don't do much weight just a little work out at night that keeps me flowing with positive energy. I put on the music and get into the movements. My mind is clear.

I also have been into documentaries lately. random stuff like children serving 15 to life, the Mariana Trench, and other interesting things like that.

I too can't be on social media much or I fall into a dark place. Animals are always a great way to not feel lonely :)
