Answers:
I am surprised if your doctor knows that you are having problems sleeping that he didnt run any tests!? Are you sure you told him just how serious of a problem you are having!?
I dont know how old you are but since you mention school Im wondering if you are a teen!? If so, are you stressed out or anxious about school or any problems in your life!?
Do you drink caffine or energy drinks!?
Do your parents know about the problem!?
what have you tried!?
do you have a relaxation tape to help you calm down!? Do you feel worried or have any pain when you lay down!? Do you feel like your mind just wont stop racing with thoughts!? Do you take a warm bath before bed!?
There are so many reasons people have sleep problems!. It can even be as simple as a mattress or pillow that is not comfortable or noise in your house!.
I dont think taking tylenol is a good choice though!. You need to find another way to sleep!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get out of the tylenol ASAP!. Try some hot milk, read a little and no tv!. No coffee after 12 noon!. Try some more exercise in the pm!. Try to overcome your anxieties -just chill out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

having a glass of milk before i go to sleep helps!.!.!.!.i dont know why !.!.!.!.!.also have you tried listening to soothing tapes or your ipod before sleeping!.!.!.!.!.or even better read before bed!.!.!.!.good luck with sleeping!! Www@Answer-Health@Com
