It can be a good distraction. Not the best way to sleep though. 

I usually crash on the couch when I have too much on my mind. I like the noise from the TV.

Health of family troubles me on occasion but for the most part I usually sleep fairly well.

If I can't sleep it is usually because I crashed on the couch watching something late at night and woke up realizing I hadn't taken my dog out for her last pee and by the time I do that I am wide awake for the next few hours.

That's when you will find me on SN at 4am.
