Discussion: Insomnia. When you can't sleep do you write? Do you do something else?

When I get hit by a sleepless night I sometimes write but it generally depends on why I can't actually sleep to begin with. Last night I couldn't sleep but I didn't write because I was having a hard time concentrating on anything, although I suspect that it was more to do with my medication than worrying over things that are out of my control.

The only writing related thing I did today was to sign up for a fixed length ficlet challenge. Hopefully I'll get my prompt by tomorrow and I can get to work on that. Of course I have many other writing projects to attend to, but a short thing that can be written quickly is more what I need right now.

I do tend to fiddle with my writing when I can't sleep. It's the kind of thing that helps get my mind off whatever it is that's keeping me awake and usually ends up jump-starting a good writing session the next day.
