    Try to keep a regular schedule even if you have not gotten enough sleep. Go to bed around 23:00 (when your body clock is primed for sleep) and get up before 09:00. If you cannot sleep, do not stay in bed for longer than 20 minutes. Get up, do something for a little while, and then try again.

    Avoid alcohol and try to exercise.

    Failing that, try blinking a couple of hundred times rapidly. This usually puts people to sleep.

    Embrace it.

    When my babies were infants, they didn't sleep through the night, which is totally normal, but it went on much longer than it should have because I enjoyed getting up in the night and interacting with them. It was such a special time, and I've never slept more than two or three hours at a time. I treasured the time I spent rocking, feeding and snuggling them. They are adults now, but I still get up whenever I wake up and enjoy the softness of a dark house. In the summer, I have a tendency to wander outside and sit a spell on a little patio nestled between three large oaks. It's too cold to do that now.

    My work day starts around 3AM -- that's when I'm the most alert.

    People say "You have insomnia." "You should see someone about that." But, I don't pay attention -- my body clock knows what's right for me.

    Yours might know what's right for you as well.
