I like #7, I do that when I'm feeling down/bored; think of something I've been putting off because I don't like doing it. I figure if I am feeling horrible, doing something horrible can't make me feel worse :-) Usually I end up frantically finding something I would much rather do and after a bit, I'm absorbed in what I'm doing and feeling much better/fine.

I'm retired now so sleep (because I'm older it's much weirder now that it was when I was young) is not so complicated; I don't have to get up at any particular time, can take naps or go to bed early/late, etc. I was up at 4:30 this morning, might go back to sleep in an hour or two but got to bed/sleep before 9:00 last night so am not worried about lack of sleep. I just don't like being up in the middle of the night; I'm usually uncomfortable then and sleepy but not able to sleep and it's dark and cooler (I have trouble sleeping if it is not cool enough) and I don't like being up so feeling very frustrated. Staying asleep can be hard for me, not because I am not sleepy but just because things ache or are otherwise not "right". I'm only 60 but getting older isn't going to make it better I don't think.
