General worries(Death, bills, etc): Spin around/toss and turn in my bed till I get bored/tired. Come up with stories in my head till I fall asleep.
Specific worries(Did I forget to do ----?): Get up and do it cause I won't be asleep till I'm sure and I sleep better after knowing.
Thought up possible solution to a problem: Get up and test it. Normally this happens when I have been having writers block for a story or have hit a wall in a program/script I was working on.
Been doing that since I've been in middle school. Helps me plan out stories that I want to write... If I can remember them in the morning. It's also the reason I keep a notebook within reach while in bed. Just for those moments where I feel I have a great idea or passage and I need to get it down. Though I'm usually writing in the dark which leads to me needing to translate chicken scratch.
Shoulda been a doctor. Coulda got more practice with that sort of thing.
Side note: "What if" statements are your friend if you wanna do the whole making up stories thing. If you can't think of a basis for a story just go, "What if..... my computer suddenly became sentient and started to talk to me." Something like that.
Depends on what's keeping me up.

I got the toss and turn moves sorted-expert bed wrecker! Never thought about thinking up stories though. I'm awake again now-will give it a go.
