Question about "でも" in this particular sentence So my question is about this " **** " > **** … I think i know what the sentence means : > "Because i was unable to sleep, i thought washing my face/splashing water on my face a bit would have been a good idea.." But even do i get the overall meaning of this sentence, i was unable to explain what this "" meant here precisely.. Is it "-or something like that" ? Is it use because otherwise the sentence would mean that the guy/girl took a COMPLETE shower? How can i be sure of the PRECISE meaning? Thanks! edit : **Yes, this means "or something like that", indicating face washing is not the only option.** <\- this feel like a good additional information to keep.

Yes, this means "or something like that", indicating face washing is not the only option. Although this is placed between and , it means "(I should) do something like face-washing" rather than "(I should) wash something such as my face". The sentence means he/she could do something totally different to kill time and get relaxed, like watching TV, cleaning his room, or whatever.
