Go outside into the cool air, stretch and breathe for a couple minutes, then go back inside and slam a redbull.\n\nGood luck.\n\nAnd whatever you do, don't justify going to bed before finishing what you have to do or planning out how early you need to get up to get your stuff done.

sounds like your mitochondrial system in your cells are a little over-loaded with blood sugar, try restricting carbohydrates and refined sugar, especially after sundown as this will keep you up at night.. Carbs are pasta, rice, bread and other starchy stuff, try more vedgetables and alkaline fruits, fresh food is also better than packaged.\n\neat in moderation and snack more if you are hungry a lot but reduce the meal size. Try to inclease the vitamin value of your food and read the labels of the food you do eat to better understand the ingredients that may be keeping you up. Cafein in soda tea or coffee could be keeping you up and tired, try reducing these drinks to 1-2 a day if you can.\non sleeping, the brain averages its sleep cycles in 90 minute periods for most of us although it is a little different for every one. try sleeping 7.5, 6 or 9 hours at a time the period needs to be divisable by 90 minutes.\n  Lastly try running, jogging or walking an hour or two every other day, amazing what exersize can do to regulate sleep and make you tired. I take a hot bath or shower after exersizing and I sleep like a baby.\n  Oh and stay away from sleep aides with the exception of a triptifan mouth spray, it is natural and has a great taste and you will not feel groggy in the A.m.\ngood luck!\n\noh a guy came to me once and he repeated over and over " I am a teepee I am a wigwam, I am a teepee I am a wigwam" I said "hey man you are just too tents!" (joking) tension and stress will keep you awake too, reduce stresses at home work and school when you can, yoga, thaichi (sp.?) and pilaties can help with stress too. have fun joke aroud more and ditch anyone in your life who is depressing, find people who are fun and uplifting.

Stay awake until your normal bedtime and this should help put you back on track.  Your body cannot store sleep like a battery.  If you need to sleep late on the weekend, then it is to make up for the sleep deficiency you built up during the week.  It this happens a lot then you might want to adjust your sleep habits so you get more sleep.  Believe it or not you can sleep too much which will make you tired, and yes you can get too tired to sleep well.  The only cure is to stay up until you fall asleep.\n\nWhen you have sleeping problems again try:  Warm Milk at bedtime (yes it works, and it is natural).  Take Melatoin, a neurotransmitter normally produced by the body.  It can be found in most supermarkets and drug stores at a reasonable price.  Develop good Sleep Hygiene; remove the TV from the bedroom, sleep in a dark place, only use your bedroom for sleeping so when you go to bed your body will know it is time to sleep.  If after 20 minutes you don’t fall asleep then get out of bed and do something quiet (read or watch TV) for 20 minutes.  Avoid caffeine after noon, and don’t eat an hour before going to bed (the stomach is still working so it won’t want to go to sleep).  If noises at night disturbs you then get a fan and run it all night, the fan will cover most noises, and your body will get used to the constant noise pretty quickly (make sure you don’t have it on rotate so it won’t disturb you by waving across you, if it gets too cold then point it away from you.\n\nIf the problem continues then you might want to talk with a doctor.  Trazodone is a good medication for this.  It is safe and reasonably priced.  It is an antidepressant, but not a very good one.  It has one major side effect, it makes you sleepy, and it can be used safely for years (after 5-6 years I started hearing a ringing in my ears, which is another side effect, so I stopped taking it, but after being off it for years I am taking it now with no problems.  Drugs like Ambien are meant to only be used for a short time (2 weeks or so), and recently we have heard of problems like sleep walking, sleep driving, or sleep eating (I took it for over 2 years with no problem though).  If these sleep problems continue then you might need a specialist and a sleep study.

10 Ways to Fall Asleep \n\n\n1. Establish a regular routine. Maintain a regular routine that includes going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, even on days off work and on weekends. \n\n\n2. Go to bed when you are sleepy. If you are unable to fall asleep or stay asleep, leave your bedroom and engage in a quiet activity elsewhere. Try to read a book or watch some TV. Return to bed when - and only when - you are sleepy. \n\n\n3. Avoid stress and worries at bedtime. Certain activities, such as listening to soft music, reading, or taking a warm bath, are great ways to fall asleep. \n\n\n4. Use your bedroom only for sleep and sex. Avoid doing other activities in bed like watching TV, paying bills, or working only serve to initiate worries and concerns. Let your mind associate the bed with sleeping, relaxing, and pleasure. \n\n\n5. Avoid heavy meals late in the evening. While a light snack before bedtime can help promote sound sleep, avoid large meals. \n\n\n6. Reduce caffeine and nicotine intake. Coffee contains caffeine, as do many teas, chocolate and cola drinks. Caffeine is a stimulant, which means it has an alerting or wake-up effect. Avoid those four to six hours before going to sleep. \n\n\n7. Avoid drinking alcohol as well. Alcohol, in contrast, is often thought of as a sedative, a calming drug. However, while alcohol may speed the beginning of sleep, it actually increases the number of times you awaken in the later half of the night. \n\n\n8. Lay off on tomato products and spicy foods. These give many people heartburns (as does eating too fast). Lying down makes heartburn worse, and heartburn itself makes falling asleep more difficult. Heartburn also awakens sleepers with middle-of-the-night discomfort. \n\n\n9. Avoid napping during the daytime. Avoiding naps all together will ensure that you are tired at night. Longer naps disrupt the body’ ability to stay asleep. \n\n\n10. Maintain a dark, quiet and cool room to sleep in. Most sleep scientists believe that a slightly cool room and keeping your bedroom dark are great ways to fall asleep. That's because it matches what occurs deep inside the body, when the body's internal temperature drops during the night to its lowest level. In addition, light - strong light, like sunlight - is the most powerful regulator of our biological clock. The biological clock influences when we feel sleepy and when we are alert.

Hang out in my pjs.  I can't stay still usually for a long time.  I get restless.  So I might nap and then force myself to get up and do something easy like laundry.  It is still very valued time at home since I'm not at work.

Already a lot of good and not so good answers... Don't use alcohol, I did that for years. I don't drink now and sleep better. Stress, is the main thing that keeps me awake now, but only occasionally. Don't smoke either. Feeling secure makes you feel secure in your bed. Do everything to make sure your home is secure obviously. Financial security is important - people do lie awake worrying about money. Emotional security, knowing people care and love you. That's more difficult. But generally speaking you get back what you give out in that department. Obviously avoid stimulants like caffeine in the evenings. When you go to bed tonight. Think about me! A mysterious romantic Englishman - and let your imagination run wild! Even if you don't sleep - it'll make staying awake much more enjoyable. But after a while - maybe 8 hours - you'll get bored with me and nod off! Incidentally, it's 3.05pm in the afternoon now in England. Not the early hours of the morning! I haven't had lunch!

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.

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.

It takes time, but it can be done. Have her stay up a little longer each day like 15 - 30 minutes. Then get up a little earlier the next day, the same amount of time.
