Ok, so a little background history...

I've always been a light sleeper, and I've always had trouble sleeping. Usually, I just wake up multiple times during the night, or I'll wake up and not be able to fall back asleep for awhile. I can usually initially fall asleep pretty quickly.

But lately, things have gotten worse. Much worse. I'd say all of this started in November or so, but it was masked by my cannabis habit, heh. Whenever I would quit smoking it for a few days, it would be difficult for me to fall asleep and stay asleep, but it wasn't anything I worried about until recently, because it was annoying, but I always ended up sleeping after a night or two of tossing and turning. I've quit cannabis cold-turkey for a multitude of reasons, and ever since then, my anxiety has gotten worse, and, so have my sleeping problems. The problem, which used to be just staying asleep, has now turned into full-blown insomnia, similar to what I experienced during my second semester of college when I developed an eating disorder (which is all but gone now, though it's always something I think about).

I cannot fall asleep for the life of me. My body will be absolutely exhausted, but I can't fall asleep because my mind is wide awake. I'll be watching a movie in my room, feeling extremely groggy and ready to fall asleep. So I'll turn the TV off and lay down. I start feeling some anxiety, but I've accepted that it will be there, so I don't think that's really the problem anymore, but who knows. My eyes close and BAM, I'm awake. I've literally laid awake for the past few nights for hours on end, tired as Hell, with no relief. If I do fall asleep, I wake up within an hour or two. I've even cut out most of the caffeine in my diet, but that doesn't seem to be helping. Even melatonin won't help anymore, it makes me sleepy but I still can't fall asleep.

Anyone know how I can get some effing sleep? It's driving me bonkers, and classes are starting again next week. God knows that insomnia is the last thing I need this semester.
