Icant sleep at night . seriosly rightnow its3:12! am help!!?!


Question: I answered this type of question by another asker but I have a different answer now. Make your bedroom a place only for sleeping. that means no TV no radio(unless its your alarm too) make it as dark as possible and around 2-3 hours b4 bed, exercise. the endorphins from exercise should be gone by then and the tiredness should set in and my councilor said if you have electronic devices in your room it can hinder sleep because you could be sensitive to electricity and your mind wont see the room a a place to sleep rather than a place to play.

Sleeping pills? I dunno, I stay up as long as I want but I can go to sleep..

How long does it usually take you to go to sleep and when do you go to sleep? When do you wake up?

Me either. :(

go take a benadryl............

Have you actually tried laying down in the dark with no distractions for at least an hour?

Do you happen to have insomnia?Insomniacs can't sleep until the next day and I think you have it. Maybe you can read a book and try to finish until you're dead tired. Or, watch T.V. If that doesn't work, maybe you should, run around your room? lol that sounds insane.

Hello . "now try to relax" .... "you are getting sleeeppy very sleepy." ..... your hands are heavy sooooooooo heavy....... your legs just won't move ....... your sooo sleepy ....... OK and if that doesn't work just go read a chemistry book for about 2 minutes..... these methods have been found to bring on sleep in the same amount of time ! LOL .... good night :-)

Problem sleeping can be caused by many reasons. If this happen quite persistent i.e. >2 times a week, you may have sleep disorder. Refer to sleep disorder link below for information, then consult your doctor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_disor...
If you are having normal sleep disorder, you can try the following method:-

1. Avoid watching TV, eating, and discussing emotional issues in bed. The bed should be used for sleep and sex only. If not, we can associate the bed with other activities and it often becomes difficult to fall asleep.

2. Minimize noise, light, and temperature extremes during sleep with ear plugs, window blinds, or an electric blanket or air conditioner. Even the slightest nighttime noises or luminescent lights can disrupt the quality of your sleep. Try to keep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature -- not too hot (above 75 degrees) or too cold (below 54 degrees).

3. Try not to drink fluids after 8 p.m. This may reduce awakenings due to urination. (Frequent night urination must be check for prostate/diabetes problem)

4. Avoid naps, but if you do nap, make it no more than about 25 minutes about eight hours after you awake. But if you have problems falling asleep, then no naps for you.

5. Do not expose your self to bright light if you need to get up at night. Use a small night-light instead.

6. Nicotine is a stimulant and should be avoided particularly near bedtime and upon night awakenings. Having a smoke before bed, although it may feel relaxing, is actually putting a stimulant into your bloodstream.

7. Caffeine is also a stimulant and is present in coffee (100-200 mg), soda (50-75 mg), tea (50-75 mg), and various over-the-counter medications. Caffeine should be discontinued at least four to six hours before bedtime. If you consume large amounts of caffeine and you cut your self off too quickly, beware; you may get headaches that could keep you awake.

8. Although alcohol is a depressant and may help you fall asleep, the subsequent metabolism that clears it from your body when you are sleeping causes a withdrawal syndrome. This withdrawal causes awakenings and is often associated with nightmares and sweats.

9. A light snack may be sleep-inducing, but a heavy meal too close to bedtime interferes with sleep. Stay away from protein and stick to carbohydrates or dairy products. Milk contains the amino acid L-tryptophan, which has been shown in research to help people go to sleep. So milk and cookies or crackers (without chocolate) may be useful and taste good as well.

10. Do not exercise vigorously just before bed, if you are the type of person who is aroused by exercise. If this is the case, it may be best to exercise in the morning or afternoon (preferably an aerobic workout, like running or walking).

11. Does your pet sleep with you? This, too, may cause arousals from either allergies or their movements in the bed. Thus, Fido and Kitty may be better off on the floor than on your sheets.
