Why I can not go to sleep even though I feel tired?

The eating thing I don't believe but if you consume caffine to close to bed time it can kick start your adrenaline/energy for a short amount of time causing you not to sleep. \n\nSome times on falling asleep are to make sure you use your bed for only sleep. That way, when you crawl on in at night, your body recognizes that this is the place to sleep, not to read, write, watch tv or play on a laptop. A warm bath can also help you sleep and so can 'white noise' a fan, wind blowing through the window things of that nature...

Lack of sleep can cause some extreme physiological and psychological changes, and lacking REM sleep (the stage in which dreaming occurs) can lead to such symptoms as personality changes, incresed anxiety and irritability, and impaired concentration.  This may not qualify as going crazy, but I'm sure such interruptions in a person's sleep schedule can make them feel as if they are going crazy.

Try not to close your eyes, when you want to sleep. You must have a gap between your sleeping schedule. If you cannot sleep, try to massage the outer side of ur eyes, circling the eyes and then the forehead with your fingers. You will feel better and I hope you can sleep faster. Avoid to take sleeping pills, otherwise you will be habitual and then you couldn't sleep without those pills. I hope this helps you.

Becuz since you don't feel sleepy at night ,, you try to stay up awake as much as you can,, so you fall asleep for a few hours then you have to go to work,, so you'll feel tired and sleepy becuz you didnt get enough sleep,, that's why you have to try sleeping earlier even tho you hate it,, so you'd have energy when you go to work :-)

Might be because of too much sleep

This isn't just due to lack of sleep. Are you taking any medications currently? It could be a reaction to a medication. \n\nYou really need to see a doctor promptly for proper diagnosis. Be sure to take the names of any medications you are currently taking with you.

what time do you go to bed?\n\nyou might want to examine your sleep hygiene and make sure that you're getting QUALITY sleep... (even if you're getting enough quantity)\n\ndepression can definitely cause insomnia and hypersomia (too much sleep); do you ever feel "blue"?  do you feel stressed?  how's your appetite?  it's still winter (at least in U.S.) and sometime mild depression can be seasonal\n\nsleep problems could also be do to endocrine problems such as w/ your thyroid\n\nhere's what I would do:  1) try to normalize your sleep (go to bed ~same time, wake ~same time, don't eat or exercise close to bedtime); 2)try to exercise regularly (just not within a few hours of going to sleep); 3)eat well; 4)consider if you may suffer from depression (it's nothing to be ashamed of); 5)if it continues, talk to your doctor \n\nalso, consider that different people need different amounts of sleep... some are fine with 6 hours while some need 9 hours\n\nsleep is very important and problems with sleep generally correlate with problems with your health!  take it serious!

you should go to the dr. it sounds like anxiety or panic attacks. good meds out there to control it. lack of sleep can lead to other serious health problems. get it checked and get some zzzz's.

it seems like worrying about sleep has become your biggest worry.  A very vicious cycle.  Try to give yourself a few days when it doesn't matter.

Sounds like you might have a GAD-Depression combo (not exactly the two-for-one deal you were going for, huh?) A few things could be going on: the sleeplessness could be causing the anxiety and feelings of hopelessness (because, as I'm sure you know, not getting enough sleep can really mess you up), OR the anxiety and hopelessness could be causing your sleeplessness. \n\nI recommend going to the doctor (your regular doctor is fine) and telling him or her what's been going on. He or she may take you off the Remeron and put you on an antidepressant/antianxiety med, like Lexapro, which helps both those symptoms. Of course, the catch 22 in all of this is some of these meds cause insomnia, so your doctor may prescribe a light sleep aid to take before bedtime. \n\nAs far as cognitive behavioral therapy, I'm not sure how much that would help you. Instead, your doctor may recommend talk therapy to help you cope with these feelings. Either way, be sure to talk with your doc first and get his or her opinion on the whole situation--and be very straightforward with what's going on. \n\nPersonal tip: if you do end up taking another med that causes insomnia, try taking a Melatonin supplement in lieu of a prescription sleep aid. You can find it in the supplement aisle in any drug store. They come in 3mg and 5mg strengths. It also won't interfere with any other meds you might be taking, because melatonin is already produced in the brain. It's really made a difference for me :) \n\nHope this helps and good luck!

I need 8 hours of sleep to wake refreshed. And I still feel tired most of the time.

It could be that your getting to much sleep or that you are worried about something.  If you worry or think to hard sometimes it makes you tired.

I am a chronic depression sufferer and sometimes have a hard time sleeping.  I would suggest maybe homeopathic remedies before I would go to sleeping pills.  A warm cup of Sleepy Time tea or warm milk.  I started doing 30 minutes of yoga (from a DVD) before I started my bed ritual, and will read until I feel tired.  I no longer allow myself to sleep in nor watch TV in bed.  If the problem presists... visit your doctor to get some ideas what to do.  If you must use a sleeping pill to get some well needed rest Unisom or Excedrin PM put me out like a light.

This is a serious answer.   Stop trying to get sleep.  If you can't sleep for whatever reason, then don't try.  I used to have insomnia, and when I realized I really could not get any sleep, I stopped trying to get sleep.  I got up, watched tv, read a book, did light house work.  And then after a few days, BAM! I was like a zombie.  I couldn't wait to hit the bed!  Sleep is a natural process that the body needs to regenerate and rest.  It is usually something on the mind, or a chemical imbalance of some sort that keeps us awake. \n\n If restlessness lasts for more than a few days, then see a doctor. But first, try depriving yourself of sleep.  If your body doesn't "kick back" from loss of sleep, then something is seriously wrong.

You did not go into a DEEP trance sleep like you do at night. This happens to me I am better off not napping. Try taking a good multivitamin. And at night take 5-htp, it's a natural sleep remedie to help with melatonin which may be low.
