I shared this list with @hcurrier earlier, just some ideas I threw down that I thought might be decent topics for sharing here in more characters than 140 
Lemme know what you think…
Remedies - Old laughable ones, newer actual ones, tapes, etc that are working for some of us?
Dreams - When we DO sleep, what do we dream about? What does it mean?
Pics - related to sleep, dreams, insomnia, stress relief (can we do this here?)
Stress Reduction - Share articles, personal stories/techniques, hobbies…
Drugs - Does anyone take anything to sleep? Prescribed/non… If so what works, what doesn’t, WHY?
Productive things to do when you can’t sleep - ???
I’m awake. Why? - Stream of consciousness style word association entries, timed at 5 minutes?
Ideas, thoughts??

I have self-diagnosed RLS & sleep apnea. can’t do anything about the RLS, but I use breathe right strips to help me breathe better. I’ll do deep breathing to relax muscles, and when my mind is really going fucking nuts, i’ll write.

i’m a huge fan of those ideas, especially the stream of consciousness … god only knows what you can come up with when you’re completely out of it and on a roll.
also:
- bad ideas: what have you tried to do to fall asleep that *hasn’t* worked and could probably be classified as stupid, dangerous, laughable or a mix of the three? not necessarily remedies … i.e. staying up for a week or something
- foods! many say specific foods you eat or drink before trying to sleep can directly affect how quickly you’re able to get to bed and how soundly you sleep.
- weirdest places you’ve slept / fallen asleep / should have slept but didn’t
