Avoiding caffeine beverages and exercise during the day is great idea! Also drink "bedtime" herbal tea before going to bed. I listen to CD for relaxation when I'm in bed. The session last about 15 minutes and I'm out before session is over. I can try to email it to you if you want.

Get more exercise during the day and avoid caffeinated beverages after 5 PM.

all the worrying you are doing about not sleeping is probably making it harder for you to sleep... seriously

count sheep

yeah me too you might have somethin wrong with you...i just take melotonin it helps you sleep and its a natural pill and im 13 so its no big deal. but dont take it ever night just like every 3 nights

i have the same problem i sucks but ive asked the doctor and he says it happens to almost all teenagers

Yeah, I have the same problem, and I am your age. =) I tried going to bed a little earlier, and it worked for me! Also, it might be stress. Try talking to your mom about medicines/pills you CAN take even though you are only 14.

Hope this helps!

Don't drink caffeinated drinks.
Listen to music in a really soft volume. Most of the time that works for me.

Don't know what else to say - sorry.

Sleep Problem Lem O

Boy do I know of this one

What I do when ever I have a hard time sleeping is

1 To get to sleep I count to,1 - 20 and hold up one finger when I do and do it again and another finger on and on

Focus on only the number you are thinking

When all the fingers on one hand are used up lower one at a time in reverse counting, 20 - 1

When you wake up at night do not get out of bed start counting again same way

What you are doing is creating boredom. Just like when you are watching a dud of a show on TV and keep falling asleep.

A passenger in a car on a long vacation drive of 900 miles is another good example of how we fall asleep when we get bored.

Be patient with it and it will work counting to 20 that is

U might be in pain. Well even tho this sounds funny, put a pillow in between ur legs and sleep on ur side. You may have pain in ur back even if u dont notice. trust me ha


If you have stress, and all that shitttt then try distracting urself by playing like a gameboy type thing ahha trust me if you can get into something like that youll get distracted and fall asleep. : )

hope it helps haha

Go to bed at a later time and start to calm down and relax those last few hours... Make your room have complete darkness if its light in there, or make it lighter in there if its too dark... Do the opposite of that you're used to lol

You must have loads on your mind . Try slowing down earlier , get off the computer earlier and perhaps lay in bed with a book. I find the computer and tv way too stimulating at night , messes with my sleep. Try praying when you wake up in the night as well.

Make sure you're not eating and exercising when it starts to get late.
That will keep you up.
Try getting in bed and reading or watching something to help you get tired.
If that doesn't work.
Try drinking something hot before bed like a warm cup of milk, cup of tea. Avoid hot chocolate though because there is a little bit of caffeine in chocolate.

Hmm... interesting question. I think your circadian rhythm has been changed or something, so that you are used to falling asleep around 12:00- 1:30. Try sleeping 15 minutes earlier every night after you've found a time where you fall asleep. Focus on your breathing rather than the things that happened that day. Or focus on what has happened (People do different things). Feel like you are sinking into your mattress and feel all your limbs get heavier.

On staying asleep: Exercise- Make your body tired and need that rest.
Food: Don't eat heavy meals near bed time
Water: Use the washroom before you go to bed, so you're less likely to wake up at night.

Deeper: Make sure there isn't a lot of sound or some soothing sounds at most. Turn off ALL the lights.

There is no other better option than to naturally get good nights sleep.Some of the good habits for sound and good night sleep are as follows:

* Make your sleeping place comfortable. Be sure that it is dark, quiet, and not too warm or too cold.
* Try to go to sleep at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning.
* Get regular exercise. Try not to exercise close to bedtime. Experts suggest not exercising for 3 hours before the time you go to sleep.
* Don't eat a heavy meal late in the day. A light snack before bedtime, however, may help you sleep.
* Avoid using your bed for anything other than sleep or sex.
* If you can't fall asleep and don't feel drowsy, get up and read or do something that is not overly stimulating until you feel sleepy.
* If you have trouble lying awake worrying about things, try making a to-do list before you go to bed. This may help you to relieve of those worries for whole night.
* Keep the lights low before bedtime.
* Follow a routine to help relax and wind down before sleep, such as reading a book, listening to music, or taking a bath.
* Try not to take naps during the day because naps may make you less sleepy at night.
* Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late in the day. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and can keep you from falling asleep. Alcohol can cause waking in the night and interferes with sleep quality.

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends

Establish a relaxing bedtime routine: take a bath or do something calming before bed

Make sure your sleep environment is dark, quiet, cool, and comfortable

Use the bed only for sleep and sex; keep the bedroom free from distractions like television, computers, and work
