I used to get up and go on the computer or something, but not anymore. I have found that just makes things worse. Now I lay there quietly and let my body rest even if my mind won't If something is really keeping me awake I just lay there and think about it. It probably needs processing/rationalizing anyway.
If I wake up very early in the AM, like 5 instead of 7 I generally just get up and start my day.
I have been struggling with this recently, and I've found what helps me is taking a shower. I've tried a million things, but the shower seems to do something for me.
write, listen to music, watch tv, read.. clean.. chat. It all depends. Or sometimes I just lay there, thinking too much driving myself completely to the brink of insanity.
