Making lists in our journals when we can’t sleep is a good mental exercise that will get our minds off our insomnia and hopefully will get us sleepy again.

Here is a listing exercise to try:

Make a list of all movies of a certain genre (ex: all horror movies, all chick flick movies, classics, thrillers etc.) that you can think of

Make a list of your all time favorite movies

Make a list of the worst movies you have ever seen

Make a list of movies that make you cry

Make a list of movies that make you laugh

Make a list of every Oscar winning film that you can think of
