Depends on what time it is.  If it's early in the evening, I usually pull out my Kindle and do some activities on it, or read.  But,if it's late at night - I just go to sleep!!

Sleep.  We had a power outage a few days ago and it happened around 7.  I sat up and talked with my family for most of time but when it started getting closer to 10, I was considering just going to bed.

When the power goes out I go to bed and attempt to get a good night's rest.   :)

Sleep...cause there's nothing else I can do. Can't watch tv nor get on the internet, but sometimes I light candles and walk around the house, look out the window and sigh, lol.

If I can go to sleep--fine.  Works for me.  If not, I keep an LED lantern and a battery-operated radio for just this purpose.

When I was a kid I used to be scared, but I love to sit up and tell ghost stories while the candles are lit.
