Sounds like your stressed about your work and bring it home with you, constantly having the days work going round in your head!  Try doing something interesting in the evenings to take your mind off work.  Exercise is also a good suggestion, but a walk to the local pub and back would do to start with!  Good luck.

Exercise.  I sleep much better when I work out on a regular basis.  Also, try not to consume caffeine after 5PM.

There is such a thing as too much sleep - you can sleep too long and feel groggy and loggy the rest of the day.\n\nOr your body may be telling you that it's time to catch up after a couple of weeks or months of stress, constant going, or pressure.

you need to stay up late always.. and don't take a rest/sleep during the day..also, expose youself to all kinds of stress

you didnt say whether or not you are getting enough sleep or not...or are you burning the candle at both ends and are looking for a quick fix...bottom line if you are getting 7-8 hours of sleep and are still tired in the morning it could be a medical problem such as sleep apnea or even a low thyroid disorder...id see my doc....

more than likely its sleep apnea... go see a sleep disorder specialist.. they really help.. and this is from experience because I actually never hit level 4 ROM sleep (deep sleep) and I am always exhausted.... GL and go to the doctor...

Yes, if you're lying there & can't sleep, that's insomnia. If you're exhausted & yet can't fall asleep, that's insomnia. Just try something different. Lying there worrying about not falling asleep makes it harder to fall asleep! Try to relax before bed by reading or watching tv (preferably something not too stimulating, maybe something really boring!) or exercise strenuously earlier in the day. Physical exhaustion makes it easier to sleep & is a great stress reliever. Or you could try yoga, meditation, breathing techniques. What is keeping you up at night? Is there something you're worried about? Getting your feelings out by talking to someone may help. Also, watch what you eat & drink. Some people say warm milk before bed helps. Watch your caffeine intake. I wouldn't recommend cola or coffee before bed.\n\nGood luck.\n\nI'm an insomniac myself. I work shiftwork & it's hard for me to get out of nightshift mode on my days off (& on dayshifts which I hate). Plus I'm naturally a nightowl. When I can't sleep I get up & do something (like playing guitar, writing songs). I figure I might as well do something constructive with my time since I'm not sleeping anyway. It's rough. I feel your pain!

if you're falling asleep at 5am and waking up at 6 or 7 then yes, it's insomnia.  I know because I have it. BUT if you're falling asleep at 5am and getting a normal amount of sleep then your sleep pattern is messed up.  You'll have to force yourself to get up around 8am and you'll fall asleep earlier that night.

Haha I have exactly the same problem, I will be up all night and then I will sleep all day, but if I have to do something during the say and I don't get to sleep I will be up all the next night, I just can't seem to sleep during the night. crazy huh?

ok first relax. Second make up your mind that you are not going to work tomorrow. That should make you feel better enough to concentrate on relaxing enough to go to sleep. Unfortunately you will have a sleep debt which your body will make you repay at some stage, and you will not function at work as best you should. That wouldn't fair to you or your work mates.

Hey, here I am. The latest I wake up is around 5:00 am. Can't sleep past that. Been in that habit for over 30 years. I had to wake up for work every day, the same time year after year, and can't get out of the habit. Even if I stay up till midnight or later, I am still up around the same time. Bummer, huh?

It sounds like you might not be getting quality sleep...see below....\n\nAccording to a poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, adults in America average 6.9 hours of sleep each night, which is slightly less than the recommended range of 7-9 hours. Sleeping gives the mind and body an opportunity to work. During sleep, the body does repair work by replacing old cells with new ones and re-energizing the organs and muscles. Also during sleep the brain is busy sorting through all the events of the day and storing the day’s learning into memory. \n\nThe quality and quantity of the sleep you get will determine how productive the next day will be. Here are some tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve.\n\nEstablish and maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule, including weekends. \nDevelop a regular bedtime routine that is relaxing. Examples include soaking a hot bath or reading a good book. \nCreate a sleep inviting environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable, and cool. \nMake sure you have a comfortable mattress and pillows. \nUse your bedroom only for sleeping and relaxing. It is not wise to take work materials and computers into your sleeping environment. \nEat the last meal of your day at least two to three hours before bedtime. \nComplete your exercise routines at least a few hours before bedtime. \nAvoid caffeine close to bedtime as it may keep you awake. \nThe amount of sleep each person requires varies from individual to individual. When you get the right amount of sleep, you should not feel sleepy the next day. If sleepiness is creating problems in daily activities, you probably need more sleep. \n\nAccording to the National Sleep Foundation, the amount of sleep recommended, according to age, is as follows:\n\nInfants/Babies (including naps) \n0-2 months: 10.5-18.5 hours \n2-12 months: 14-15 hours \nToddlers/Children (including naps) 12-18 months: 13-15 hours \n18 months to 3 years: 12-14 hours \n3-5 years: 11-13 hours \n5-12 years: 9-11 hours \nAdolescents 8.5 -9.5 hours \nAdults/Older Persons On Average 7-9 hours \nSleep is as important to our health and well-being as air, food, and water. You may need to seek to advise of your doctor, if problems getting quality sleep last for more than a week and become bothersome or if sleepiness interferes with the way you feel or function during the day. \n\nDon’t deprive yourself of the precious sleep your body needs to stay healthy. Remember, when you get the right amount of quality sleep, you’ll wake up feeling fresh, alert, and ready to face your day.\n\nSource: The National Sleep Institute

That really depends what you have been doing lately.  Were you like this before?  Sometimes ppl get tired just because they've been exhausted in the past few weeks with work or stress related matter.  Others can be tired all they long because they don't get enough sleep or they sleep too late at night.  The best time to sleep and get energized is around 10, which is quite impossible in the world we live in.  Proper exercise, having a well balanced diet will help.  Sleeping early and doing deep breathing exercise works for me. \n\ngood luck
