Thread: Cant sleep...

You might have to get yoruself some sleeping pills if it is that big of a problem since they really help for a lot of people. I think I also read that Melatonin can help you fall asleep at night. Other than those two I can't really say what I do is just stay awake until I become tired and then I go to sleep whatever time that may be is always random. So if you have work or something my method could be a problem, but if it is summer break I would suggest giving it a go.

Yeah I've heard of melantonin stuff...but I'm not sure how to get my hands on some without my parents asking me so many questions about it...

maybe do alot of activities in the day time.

Go to the drugstore or not the drogstore it's like a herb store or vitamin store or something you should have one in your neighborhood. Do you know what I am talking about?

What gets me tired (oddly) is if i lay in bed with all the lights off and watch tv, the light makes my eyes tired and its not too hard to get to sleep from there

I have the same problem almost everynight. I was taking tylenol pm to sleep, but got dependant on it. I really don't recommend taking any over the counter sleep aids. I've never tried Melatonin though. I may try that. I'm reading about it now and it's supposed to increase the vividness and frequency of dreams and that high doses (50mg) dramatically increases REM sleep time and activity. It sounds good to me and if it can help get me to sleep, it's a bonus.

It's like this kind of store they sell Vitamins, Minerals, Nutrional Supplements, Sports Supplements, Herbs, Etc. And no I don't think you have to be any age to but these things since they are legal.

maybe try bwgen, it's got some presets for falling asleep

Maybe you have alot on your mind, just as a guess, you could try maybe doing some meditation to clear your mind before bed. Also i have found that listening to some relaxing music as you go to bed or maybe a podcast or what not it can make you feel relaxed, or there is an alternative in which you could just get some exercise and knacker yourself out. I hope things get back to normal for you!

To be perfectly honest, just counting works fine for me. Either that, or make up stories in your head. Or, you can try simple things like thinking up a girls name to every letter of the alphabet. If nothing else works, just try reading 'till you can't keep your eyes open.

Here's something I find helpful. I used to suffer from insomnia, and as weird as it sounds, Don't conciously try to get to sleep. It makes you stressed, and therefore less likely to get to sleep. Instead, just let your thoughts wander, and eventually you'll peter out.

Sweet dreams.
