It depends on how bad it is and what’s keeping me up. I make it a point to not notice the time because then I think I’ve been up for x hours. My upstairs neighbor is inconsiderate and often wakes me up.

I do a puzzle for about 15 minutes, as a distraction. Sometimes I think of the thread on how did you sleep, then realize someone else is probably up too.

If I don’t have to be anywhere the next day I tell myself that. If so I can cancel or take the bus instead of driving. Another thing I do is focus on how QUIET my building is and enjoy it, as it’s the only time I get that kind of peace. It will often relax me enough that I can sleep again. No caffeine or sweets after lunchtime.

Also sometimes I just accept I’m up and tell myself everyone has trouble sleeping at times and it’s normal. Valerian root or melatonin an hour before bedtime could help.
