what do you do when you can't sleep?

As many of the existing members may know...i suffer from insomnia.
Three hrs kip a night is good for me and it plays havoc with the mind and how you judge day to day situations.

In the early hours when wide awake I tend to explore software that I have. I did this last night. Its the first layer of a basic animation I am going to do. Eventually the text will be sat in a city at night with spotlights and helicopters etc.... anyhow. I have been working on a reasonable chrome material in photoshop and I have not quite nailed it yet.

This is what I do when i can't sleep. What do you do ?

its a bit slow and juddery because I have had to convert it to Gif.

I am not a kipper either, can go to bed at 2am and get up 6am with not a lot of trouble. However sometimes find i need a power nap at 2pm but this is not a good idea on the M5 in the middle lane on a friday (joke)
