The best advice I can give you is to talk to your doctor about the problems you are having in your sleep patterns. Not being able to sleep can be a sign of a more serious underlying problem, mental or physical. \n\nYour doctor will know best how to treat your problem. He / she may prescribe you some short-term sleep aid medications to get you back on track or send you for further testing / further treatment. \n\nLosing sleep is a serious problem so don't let it go untreated or unnoticed for too long. Your rest level effects your entire existence and your state of mind. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

I have a few suggestions for you...\n\nI have insomnia and problems sleeping and staying asleep etc, due to a head injury, so I've tried nearly everything to get myself to sleep.\n\nFirst off, if you're in bed and you're not sleeping, get out of it and do something else. Try to keep your bed as a "sleep only" area. \nThat way, when you get in the bed again, you associate it with sleep.. and not like paperwork or phonecalls, etc.\n\nSecondly, tea or warm anything helps sometimes. There's actually a specific tea out there that I found at Albertsons, made by Celestial Seasonings, called Sleepy Time EXTRA. And there's a red flag that says "VALERIAN MAKES IT EXTRA!". Valerian root is a natural sedative. Taken in low doses I have found that it calms, or, in a tea such as the Sleepy Time (It's Chamomile Mint I think, really good with a little honey) it puts ya right to sleep. (high dose)\n\nThere's also another natural sleep aid called Kava. My mom found it in the healthfood store (Rainbow Market) in a little drink called Elixr. The bottle says to drink the whole thing, but I tried just one tablespoon and I was out like a light. I did some research on it, and apparantly the more frequently you take it, the higher dosages you'll need to be able to sleep. (http://www.elixirtonics.com/)\n\nAnd of course there's sleeping pills. Walgreens has "Tylenol PM". That works, or "Simply Sleep", which is essentially the same thing. But it was nice because it did not have me feeling groggy and ridiculous or hung over in the morning. I just woke up feeling refreshed.\n\nYou could also consider prescription sleeping pills. I just got an Ambien prescription... I tried it once and hated it though, guess it works differently for different people, etc. I was miserable all night and felt unrested and a prisoner in my own body. Like my body was dead, couldn't move, but my mind was racing. I was overheating and sweating and couldn't do a damn thing about it. So.. I haven't decided if I hate that or not, I'll have to give it another shot, but I'm hesitant to even bother... \n\nReading helps too.\n\nOr turn on the radio on a quiet channel, or a soothing cd or something, and get it nice and dark and before ya know it, it's time to wake up. It really works.  Just don't put on a station or something that you'll be singing along with, it doesn't quite work out.\n\nAnd sometimes I go in the yard and just breathe. The darkness and the cold air makes me want to bundle up in my bed and usually I just knock right out. Sometimes with a little coaxing from a warm drink too. (non alcoholic of course)\n\nWell then I heard some people drink (alcohol) to relax and calm down and eventually sleep but that's apparantly highly unrecommended.\n\nI always fall asleep on my side with the pillow even under my neck. Maybe you're having trouble with either your pillow or your sleeping position? I read online somewhere that sleeping on your back is bad for people that are prone to snoring who have sleep apnea, because it's harder to breathe and it's not a restful night if they even get to sleep. And I also read that sleeping flat on the belly isn't that great either because your neck is craned to one side, and could lead to neck problems. \nIf you're a belly sleeper, maybe try sleeping with one leg up so that you're not totally flat on the bed. It will also make it so that your neck isn't completely craned to the side, and the pillow can be adjusted around the head and maybe a separate one for under the chest or knee for good elevation so you don't suffocate yourself.\n\nOh and maybe a body pillow too... ever try just holding something to sleep? It could help... pillow, teddy bear, someone.\n\nSometimes when you feel really safe where you are, you'll just knock right out, without a second thought.\n\nGood luck, hope you can catch some

Fresh air helps A LOT. If you can't get enough sleep and solve the problem that way, make sure you aren't in a closed in, stale space. Eat something like a piece of fruit or an energy bar. Drink something cold and non-alcoholic. Move around, stretch, take deep breaths.

I told you. You just have to tough it out. Stay up all day from 6 am to 10pm then lay in your bed and stair at the ceiling all  night untill 6 am then make your self get up an DO NOT NAP untill 10 pm\n\nIn 3 days you will be better. \n\n10 points\n\nPs. NO NAPS during the day. And DO NOTHING DURING THE NIGHT no reading in bed. If you have a tv in your room unplug it do nothing in bed but lay there. \n\nIt sux but it will work

cut caffeine from your diet, work out more, don't eat a heavy meal right before bed.  If nothing else works, talk to your doctor about your sleep problem.

I have dealt with insomnia too, and one of the best things you can do is create a regular sleep/wake cycle. Try to go to bed at the same time every night, and wake up at the same time every morning. It can be hard at first, but it really does help, and you'll feel better emotionally.\nAlso, you can try these tips:\n-cut back on coffee, tea, and soft drinks that contain caffeine; instead drink clear soft drinks like 7-Up and Sprite, or caffeine-free sodas like root beer\n-avoid eating large, heavy meals before going to bed\n-don't exercise too soon before going to bed\n-relax yourself before bed with a hot bath, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation (see my link), etc.\n-have a glass of warm milk and half a turkey sandwich about 30 minutes before going to bed; both contain tryptophan, which will help you sleep\n-don't use your bedroom as a place to work, eat, watch TV, etc.; it should be a place to sleep and rest and that's it\n-avoid alcoholic drinks in the evening\n-listen to calm, soothing music before bed and while you're trying to sleep\n-sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillow\n-keep your room at a cool temperature\n-practice deep breathing exercises (see link)\n-avoid naps if they interfere with your sleep/wake cycle\n-once you're in bed, visualize a safe, peaceful scene, like the beach or a rainy day\n-establish a bedtime ritual before going to sleep to key your body to relax; follow the ritual every night\n-keep your bedroom dark\n-sleep in a well-ventilated room\n-don't watch TV, read, or do any other mentally stimulating activity before bed\n-try to get into the habit of sleeping on your back... it's the best position for relaxing because it allows for deep, restful breathing\n\nGood luck!

You have a serious problem and you need to seek professional help. It's very harmful to your body to not sleep when you need to. Don't be afraid to tell your mom of your concerns, and ask for her help (emotionally and financially).

There are several guidelines that will inevitably help you sleep but you MUST stick to or will suffer.\n\n1.  Make sure your room is QUIET and DARK when you're sleeping.\n2.  Sleep at regular intervals, avoid having "normal" hours on your off-days.  It'll totally screw you up.\n3.  Avoid drugs or sleeping pills--they'll only make matters worse.\n4.  Use non-drug sleep aids like a blindfold, earplugs, relaxing music, etc. to help if you're struggling.\n5.  Avoid exercise or caffeine at hours at which you would not normally be awake while working.\n\nHope this helps.

Stay away from sleeping pills.  It's easy to get addicted, and some sleeping pills will cause depression and anxiety.  The cure is to make sure you're really tired by getting up early and exercising.  \n\nHere's the magic formula: get up at 6am, drink a 12 oz glass of water, do a 5-10 minute warm-up (run or bike).  Follow up with 30-50 minutes of weight lifting.  Every other day do 20 minutes of aerobic exercise instead of weights.  Take one or two days a week to rest.  You'll be sleeping soundly in no time.

I wish I knew the answer cause I have the same problem.  Somethings that have worked in the past for me is....\n\n1. Write down your "to do" list for the next day an hour before you plan on going to bed.\n2. Don't drink caffeine after 6pm.\n3. write in a journal your thoughts for the day ( but make sure it is half hour before you go to bed.)\n\nI've tried all and they do help.  I still have problems once in a while.\n\ngood luck and sweet dreams :)
