At very least make sure you get some rest. They say laying down practicing mindfulness or relaxing and tensing musle groups is nearly as good as actual sleep, so if you can give that a try along with any other coping strategies you know.

I agree that resting without sleep is not a long term solution but rather a short term coping strategy for those odd occasions where nothing seems to work.
I admit, three or four nights of little sleep and I will take some meds to get some sleep.....and i will keep taking them for about a week to reestablish a sleep pattern. In instances where there is prolonged lack of sleep over a period of time, there is absolutely no substitute for sleep.
I should have posted more clearly. Sorry.
