If you're trying to fall asleep, I suggest Benadryl, also called diphenhydramine.  It's an antihistamine which causes sleepiness.  Take one capsule about 1/2 hour before you go to bed.\n\nIf you're trying to pass out because you can't deal with your life, I suggest you get help.  Seriously.

How did you type if you are or were in sleep.\nSince your sleep is already disturbed so much going back appears to be remote unless you get fully tired again.\nMay be by tomorrow night you can go back to sleep since by then the YAHOO ANSWER QUOTA would not allow you to browse further and not knowing what to do next you may yawn and get a peaceful sleep. BUE PLEASE PLEASE BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP AGAIN RATE MY ANSWER AS BEST and LET ME EARN 10 Points so that I too can go back to my sleep peacefully.

Ideally if you could take a nap would be the best.\nget off at 6pm, I would stay awake till like 12 or 1 am then get up at 7 or 8 then try an take a 2 hr or so nap at 3. \nLearn to take naps, get up earlier and then take a 1 to 2 hr nap before you have to go in to work.

avoid naps by eating apples to keep you awake.  excercise 3-4 hours before "bedtime".  drink water to avoid dehydration but don't drink so much that you have to go to the bathroom.  darkness helps soothe your eyes so does lulling noises like fans.  music may help you, and it may not.  hav a comfortable pillow and blankets.  find a cofortable position.  maybe fetal, on side, on back, legs crossing...\n\nAnyway, hav a good one

try melatonin, 3mg a night helps you get back a normal sleep cycle. its also NATURAL, no habit forming, and you dont feel groggy in the am, i use it every night.

Perhaps you are undergoing too much stress. You can try yoga as it is relaxing. Drink milk before going to bed (that's what my doctor previously told me to do). Do not engage yourself in an activity that uses your brain (e.g. solving maths questions) a couple of hours before sleep. Always try to avoid sleeping at different times of the day.\n\nBefore sleeping, it's best to do the activities that relaxes your mind (e.g. reading). I find that when I exercise in the morning, I can sleep better. \n\nYou can also read this article:\nhttp://www.sleepfoundation.org/hottopics/index.php?secid=9\n\nHope it helps :)

Try taking like Motrin or Motrin pm, it helps to relax you. And when you go to sleep don't try  forcing yourself to sleep. Just try to meditate. It does work sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep too. Just take deep breaths and slow your breathing, it should help to make you tired and then you can go to sleep. Make sure the lights are off, it will help too. Hope this helps

Sometimes you can literally be too tired to fall asleep - this is kind of dangerous as it makes people really cranky and a little crazy.  I had problems with noise and sleeping and I started sleeping with a fan on in my room on low.  The fan drowned out noise from other rooms and I could turn it up higher if the noise was loud - now I sleep through outside noise and can fall asleep easier, although I'm dependent on a fan to get to sleep.\n\nAlso - Valerian is a good herbal sleep aid.  Take one about an hour before you want to go to sleep.  If that doesn't help (do it regularly for a week), then take two an hour before you go to sleep.  Generally three of them will make a person groggy when they try to get up.

I try staying awake to finish term papers a lot.  Keep the lights on so that you don't think of it as night time.  Too much caffine will make you hyper, but just enough will keep your brain stimulated enough to stay awake.  Try sleeping a lot the night before and take a nap that day so you aren't as tired at night.  Try to do all your research before hand so that all you need to do it put it all together.  Do your citations and stuff the next day.  A lot of people say power naps help, but for me if I were to lie down I would stay asleep all night.  Whatever works for you.

Getting up and walking around helps a lot.  Drink some water.  Find a diversion that can keep you engaged for a minute or so when you get sleepy.  Sometimes when I get really tired in the afternoon I do math problems in my head or try to remember arcane facts about cars.  Q&A is also a good way to keep your mind alert...

gave yourself a pattern in sleeping- if you're usually asleep at 11 pm , then go try being awake after that. you're biological clock could be messed up-\nassociate sleeping by doing some patterns before you go to sleep- washing up- drinking milk- combing your hair .. do not do rigorous exercise before you go to sleep- do calming and soothing activities before the time you intend to sleep-\nand do not force yourself to sleep- all the more you can't sleep that way- let your body relax

There are a few things you can try. \n\n1) Make sure during the day you do not take any naps (even just dozing off for a few minutes can affect your ability to get to sleep)\n\n2) Avoid caffiene or sweets any time near you going to bed.\n\n3) Try getting a white noise machine. They play a variety of sounds (crickets, rain, ocean, birds etc).\n\n4) Set a bed time and go to bed at the same time EVERY night.\n\n5) Turn off all lights and make sure you are comfortable. Close your eyes and try to focus on the white noise sound. If your mind starts to wander, focus it back on the white noise.\n\n6) Get comfortable and take deep relaxing breaths. Avoid the impluse to shift or rollover. \n\n7) Finally, be patient. don't expect to be able to go to sleep right away.  At first it might take a long time to go to sleep, but if you are consistant with your bed time and these efforts your body will adjust to the schedule and you will find it easier to get to sleep each night.

Don't drink caffeine after 3:00 p.m.\nDon't excercise within 2 hours before going to bed.\nTake a warm bath about 45 min. before going to bed.\nKeep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature- esp. not too hot, around 72-74 degrees is good.\nNo light in room, not even a nightlight or light from alarm clock, esp. don't get up after dozing off and turn a light on, interferes with melatonin production and throws your body clock off.\nTry a sound machine or fan- something with a soothing "white noise" type of sound.\nEat a turkey sandwich or warm milk before going to bed, helps your body produce tryphtotonin and serotonin.\nTry Valerin root and 2mg.melatonin\nDo deep breathing and guided imagery meditation before bedtime.
