Thread: i cant fall asleep in my own bed??

If you do a lot of activities while on your bed, such as reading, work, or surfing the web, your body may get used to the fact that when you're on your bed, you're supposed to be awake. If this sounds like you, try avoiding doing anything on your bed but sleeping.

I had that problem ^
Got to say, I don't really do anything in my bed anymore but sleep and watch tv (don't have a really comfy seat to watch tv so I just watch from my bed).
I have literally managed to sleep on the street, but sleeping in my own bed used to be a problem.

Got to say though', ever since I was busy with lucid dreaming, I had a 'good reason to sleep' other than getting energy, and I was able to sleep much better.
Anyhow, Puffin is probably right, if you in fact to random stuff in your bed except for sleeping.

I have had this problem as well- most of it just comes down to psyching yourself out before getting into bed as francis said. Try being more active/working out during the day so that you get complete physical exhaustion before going to bed, and any time your thoughts wander towards the whole "I won't be able to fall asleep" thing immediately change thoughts. Eventually you will get used to falling asleep in your bed again.
