Have trouble sleeping? Of course you do. I read something one time that said over 55% of American teens don’t get enough sleep. Coincidentally, that same something said that over 40% of statistics are made up. You can do the math, or you can try one of my foolproof strategies for passing the time when you just can't fall asleep.
Blend. This could be the perfect time to experiment. I mean, you’re all alone and no one is around to say “Peanut butter and orange juice smoothie?! That’s gross!” Just put whatever is lying around in the blender and blend away! Added bonus: if you, like me, have a blender that is unusually noisy, you'll wake up everyone else in the house. Then, they'll proceed to yell at you to “turn that dang thing off before you end up in the blender!” Ah, their screams are like lullabies…
Become a stalker. After dusk is the perfect time to get to know a person really well. Sure, you’ll have to do it from the bushes outside his house with binoculars and night vision goggles, but hey, you can’t very well stalk a person in broad daylight, right?
Rearrange your bedroom furniture. A new bedroom setup may be just what you need to get to sleep. Or you can just glue all the living room furniture to the ceiling and enjoy your little brother's reaction come morning.
Teepee your own house. Don’t bother toilet papering someone else’s house; it's messy and probably unlawful. It's way more fun (and convenient!) to decorate your own front lawn—plus, no one will ever suspect that you're the culprit.
Just dance. Turn up the volume on your iPod and try out some new dance moves. It doesn’t matter if you’re a horrible dancer— everyone else is asleep! You don’t have to worry about blinding someone with your Macarena skills or accidentally breaking your sister's nose when you try to head-bang.
Turn your lights on and off 5 million times. When you're as tired and bored as me, electricity can get mighty interesting.
Contemplate the existence of the universe. Why did the chicken cross the road? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are dead? Why are completed buildings not called "builts"?
Read Twilight. See how long you can go without pulling your eyes out of your face and then barfing through your eye sockets. I recommend you have an ambulance around for this one.
Write a Sparklife post. You can come up with the funniest, most random things to write in the dead of the night. Trust me!
Oh, we trust you. Anybody else have great ideas for how to pass the time when you just can't catch any Zs?
