I wish I had your problem!  Ever since college, I've had a heck of a time getting to bed before midnight and getting up any time before 9 AM.  Stay with your earlier bedtime,  it will keep things more focused and happy as time goes on.

I don't know what time zone you're in, but I would suggest possibly taking a nap for a couple of hours then going to bed at your regular bedtime tonight. That way you don't totally throw off your body clock tomorrow. You need to get some sleep though!

Try a little bicarbonate of soda in half a glass of water. Later don't drink any liquids at least two hours before going to bed and use an extra pillow to raise your head.

Stay online, so that in between breaks you can surf the net, or fix a quiz (pretty exciting stuff for me), drink lots of energy drinks and coffee, turn on the television while you study, sit on an uncomfortable chair, like a hard one, so that it's not comfy enough to snooze on.\nKeep some strong smelling lemon or citrus nearby to sniff on. Studies show they help to keep you feeling 'refreshed'.

1) don't be so conscious about falling asleep (don't force yourself to sleep)\n2) drink hot milk before going to bed\n3) light a scented candle (chamomile or lavender scented)\n4) listen to soothing music (oldies or light instrumental)\n5) don't do your office works on bed, make your bed a place to sleep and not an alternative one to do your other chores\n6) light, non-strenous exercise one hour before going to bed\n\nHAPPY SLEEPING! :)

B vitamines and E are very good to help you keep alert. \nSee your doctor to make sure everything is okay with you, there are some medical conditions that make you tired a lot.\nGood luck!

Of course, you already mentioned caffeine.  A catnap or two might help you keep from crashing before the day is out - taking a short 15 or 20  minute rest once or twice in the day.  Any longer and you'll sleep too deeply and won't be able to get up again.\n\nLots of walking around in the fresh air might help, and taking as many breaks as possible from monotonous tasks to move around.\n\nStay as active and busy as possible.

Do not engage in any type of exercise 2 hrs prior to going to bed.  Try a glass of milk- it contains a protein that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine:teas,coffee,sodas etc.. Comfortable pijamas,idealroom temp,reading a book,aviod a great movie or show it will keep u stimulated.  Good luck!

Top Ten Tips For Beating Insomnia\n\n1. If you have an alarm clock with a large bright display, place it out of sight. The last thing you need when trying to sleep is a constant reminder of how late it is - stressing over being awake will keep you awake!\n\n2. Eliminate as much light as possible, including light from alarm clocks and vcr panels. \n\n3. If your sleep is interrupted by outside sounds, try masking them with the sound of an air fan, a radio tuned to static or by using a white noise machine. \n\n4. Keep a moderate ambient temperature - if it's too hot or cold your body won't want to relax\n\n5. Avoid stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine or alcohol. It's best to abstain from these altogether but if you can't then try to avoid them before late afternoon/ early evening. \n\n6. Even if you're tired during the day don't take naps as this will it make it harder for you to get to sleep at night.\n\n7. Don't exercise too close to bedtime (at least 3 hours) as your body needs time to wind down and will keep your mind awake. \n\n8. Adopt a 'going to bed' routine, a ritual that signals your brain that the day is ending and it's time to shut down. Don't do any work or any puzzle-solving during this ritual.\n\n9. Only use your bed for sleep or sex. Don't fill your bedroom with computers, tvs or anything not to do with restful activities. \n\n10. If you haven't dropped off to sleep within half an hour, don't lay there stressing over it. Get up and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy.

try drinking chamomile tea. it really relaxes you. i fall asleep late, too, but this tea really helps me to relax and feel sleepy.\n\nyou should make a doctor appointment and get their professional opinion very soon. gasping for air when you try to fall asleep is not a good sign. get help right away.

Don't take any medicine to fall asleep.  Try reading a book or a magazine.  Don't get on the computer though.
