The best remedy is not to try to insist, but....would rather be to stand up for a walk until the sleep comes naturally!

  When I can't sleep, I get up and go in the living room and watch TV for a hour or so then, go back to the bedroom and back sleep.

I've worked nights most of my life . Insomnia has got nothing on me . I find OTC sleep meds work best . And a nice cup of warm tea steeped for 3 seconds so it almost looks like dirty water . Just knocks me out . TV just activates certain brain waves that could possibly keep you awake . Try some self relaxation therapy . By the time you think you are relaxed you are already asleep .

Really good video for everyone. I'm one who sleeps in the wee hours and half the day...but I wake up every 3 hours too. Gave me some amunition for the doctor. Thanks.

At least in Zen meditation, the mind is supposed to be empty, not asleep. But, as they say, whatever gets you through the night....

Never found a real cure for my sort of insomnia (seem to function best on a 30-hour cycle, not a 24 one). There's only management such as medication, meditation, exhaustion, etc. Once I realised this, I just adjusted to the situation.
Interesting video, though, glad to see it.

I think being an insomniac help me become more productive.. but of course it would be better if it only happens when I have so many work to do.. anyway, just enjoy it and work more to be able to sleep.
