Thread: How Can I stay Asleep?

Hey for the past 2 weeks or so I've been having a hard time going to bed. I try to sleep at 10:30 -11:00 and hope to wake up for 6am but it never happens any more! Instead I go to "sleep" ( I'm not even sure if it's sleep) and then I "wake up" and the time is like 1:15am or close to 3:30am. The reason I put quotations on "wake up" is because It's not like waking up how you regularly would in the morning and your conscious of your eyes opening. It's more like realizing time has just passed by because it seems my eyes are already open once I realize the time. Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.

Is there anything I can do about it? On Sunday night I went to bed , got up @ 3 and just stayed awake until the next night (Monday) hoping to reboot my sleep cycle. I did fall asleep and woke up again, BUT I found it easier to fall asleep. Tuesday night ( or just yesterday since it's almost 5am now) I tried to sleep but I woke up at around 1:45 -3:20 ( I forget) but it's hard to go back to "sleep" So i've been awake since then. I don't want to have somewhat of a rest every 2 nights!

The big problem though I think is around my normal bed-time I don't feel too tired. I yawn slightly but I'm pretty sure im "out" in about 15-30 mins. I only feel slightly tired. I've tried alot but counting breaths, singing songs mentally, No sugar2-3 hours before bed, Read 30 mins before sleep etc is not working. I'm not stressed out either. I may change my reading material to something more mundane but I think it will take more then that.

Anyone got suggestions? When it comes to sleeping in a vehicle I can do that no problem or in someone else's bed I'm fine. I sort of sleep on the floor ( long story) but like I put a bunch of chair cushions, and a few heavy pillows on the floor then covered it with a sheet, and lie on it.

Please help
