What do you do when you can't sleep?

I'm awful at falling asleep and just as bad at waking up. The worst thing I can do is go to bed when I'm not tired yet, because I'll just end up thinking about random crap and lying there for hours. The thing that usually ends up helping is watching TV with the lights off. I also like to do crossword puzzles, preferably with the lights down a bit. If I'm really having trouble, I'll eat some carbs, preferably starchy, like a banana.

Of course, there's always masturbation. =p

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ditto. I do all my art at night. It's just a pain in the ass when you know you need to get to sleep at some point and you can't do it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
