I have a lot of trouble sleeping..plz help i need to fix this?

im am 20 and im so hyper all the time that ever since i can remember ive only slept 2-3 hours a night..and my doc said this could cause problems later on in my life and he was real quick to try to give me pills like ritalin knock offs and stuff and im not into taking any pills so is there any way to slightly slow me down to help me sleep.. i dont drink caffeine or energy drinks cuz htat would be like giving a normal person cocaine.lol i drank a red bull once and passed out for a couple minutes cuz i got so much energy and my blood pressure rocketed..lmao

Try to learn meditation.

But you perhaps you should consider the medication your Doctor is recommending. There are times when medication is appropriate. If you're uncomfortable with it, maybe you should at least talk to your Doctor about it and get as much info. as possible so that you're making an informed decision.
