What do you when you can't sleep at night?

Just lay in bed - sometimes turn the tv back on and sometimes I will fall back asleep.

I do some meditation exercises like concentrating on my breathing, counting breaths, focusing on one sense (e.g. things I can hear), etc.

If that doesn't work I will get up and read (I don't stay in bed if I can't sleep) or go on the computer for a bit.

I get back up and do something productive (homework, project, etc).  My body then says "nope" and I end up laying back down and falling asleep.

I roll around in bed usually, which really doesn't accomplish much. I think I warm milk, reading a little and listening to music has helped me. I sometimes wonder if I should record something very boring for me for such instances.

I don't have that problem since I like to sit up late at night.  By the time I go to bed I'm so tired I fall asleep fast.  I used to have that problem years ago.  I would just lay in bed and watch the clock and hope eventually I would fall asleep.  I would roll around for hours before I fell asleep.  That was no fun.

Most of the time I just get out of bed. Then after about an hour, hour and a half I'm tired and can sleep through the night. That would be a good time to read something/

When I can't sleep at night I drink a cup of tea and I say my prayer.
