One of my problems is that I'll be thinking about the things I need to do the next day or the week.  That makes me stay awake.  Get up drink some water and lay back down and try to just relax, don't think about going back to sleep - just relax.  If that don't work then count sheep, that does work.

You must find a way to sleep.  A rested mind takes tests easier and retains memory better.  good luck.

Try some warm Chamomile tea. It works for me! Also, don't watch TV before bed. Reading and tea.

I don't know if they still sell this, if not I'm sure they have something similiar.  I use to take No Doze when I had to pull an all-nighter for college.  That and a big monsterous pot of extra strong coffee or espresso!  Dark chocolate will also do the trick.  Even sodas that have tons of caffeine such as Mountain Dew, Jolt, etc.

Good cause I dont have any answers.  My mind is in a whirl just trying to accomplish the things I have to today and avoid the things I can which is why I am on here.  I am so tired I would go to bed but I might get an email and wouldnt want to miss that in my fun life that I have.  truth be told I am a bored housewife with no friends.  Desperate, huh!  Hope some of your sunshine flows over to me.\n\nKathy

Sounds to me like you have way to much on your mind. You need to do something that will help you relax. being on the Internet is only stimulating your Brain. Go take a nice warm bath or shower, if you are drinking drinks that have caffeine in them slow down on them. But over all it seems your brain is to stimulated. Go to bed turn off all lights and try going to sleep. I know some people just never go to bed till they feel they are about to pass out but if they only tried going to bed before they got that tired they could go to sleep. And also give it longer than 10 minutes before you give up and get back out of bed.

Force yourself to wake up too early. Stay awake all day until bedtime, no power naps. I had the same problem for about a month a couple weeks ago, turns out it was the fan I had in my window. It's one of those kinds you leave on and it automatically turns on and off according to tempature. As soon as I turned that thing off I slept like a baby. Maybe something is distracting you from sleeping better as well. Just a thought...

I know the feeling. YA has begun to take full control of my freetime.\n\nAnd I know what you mean about being distracted by whatever is NOT your homework. Here's a constructive tip: Try to get some of the assignment done, and then go ahead and take a mental break (YA anyone?), and then get back and finish your homework. That's the way I used to do it... only there was no YA back then. ;)

I think you're right to be concerned... I was a certified coffee addict for several years in college and grad school, and it eventually totally messed up my waking and sleeping patterns so that I had to go on medication to straighten it out.  You shouldn't be tired all the time, but using coffee to "medicate" for that is just going to make things worse in the long run.\n\nI'd suggest first getting checked out by a sleep specialist -- many sleep clinics offer free screenings from time to time, where you can just drop in and they can check for a few different kinds of sleep abnormalities.  Even if you're getting the right number of hours of sleep, you could have sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, or some other condition you may not even know about that keeps your sleep from being as restful as it should be.\n\nYou might also consider getting your blood sugar levels checked, as high or low levels can also make you sleepy during the day.  There are also a few other blood tests that might help you figure out what's going on, as certain other excesses or deficiencies might be sapping your energy level -- a doctor could explain more about some of those possibilities.\n\nMeantime, fresh air, exercise, and especially *deep breaths* might help you feel more refreshed and alert during the day.  Improving the flow of oxygen to your brain always helps. :)\n\nGood luck!  I hope you figure something out that helps!

Well if you are on any drugs right now that could be affecting you!  I know I was on a drug and it made me so incredibly tired!  I am now off that drug and I am great!  If this isn't the case perhaps you need to try energy drinks or see if you are getting enough iron!  Iron is very important and a lot of women are lacking in this department!  Try eating some foods high in iron like broccoli and nuts!  Good luck!  I know how horrible it is to be tired!  Also try planning things to get you excited!

I had the same thing when I was in school. No coffee, it gets you awake but wears off and makes you more tired than you started out. Eat lots of apples. They should keep you awake. Also focus on your work. Dont take to many breaks or else you may fall asleep. Good luck
