I stay up late at night not because I want to,
I just can't sleep. In class I always fall asleep
though!
Its hard to pay attention and I think it will soon
start to affect my grades. I don't want to take
any sleeping aids or drink energy drinks or
anything of that sort.
Right now I would love you go to bed I just can't
I've been trying for hours. Its like this every night.
I don't have jet lag.
Please help.
Thanks. OH and plus
i have track everyday after
school. Try not doing anything in a dark room. Meditate upon the wisdom of this. Do not play video games/watch movies/tv before you sleep If you can't sleep, don't go to bed. Try going for a walk, physical activity might wear you out. Try some melatonin to sleep, it works great! Ginseng should give you energy throughout the day. take tylenol pm its non habit forming and knocks you out turn off the lights lay down close your eyes and count sheep works in the cartoons you have to break the cycle
I say stay up all night on a weekend and stay up all day then you'll be so exhausted you'll have to sleep at night
:) just try to work too hard through the day, so when the bed time came u'll be so tired and will sleep fast.
it work with me .. may god help u That happened to me to...
When I have hoildays i sleep normally but when it comes to skul i wont be able to sleep.
Do you know why??
Because of tension
try not to think alot while u trying to sleep
i dont mean dot think but dont think about alot of stuff at the same time if you do it u would be able to sleep well
I hope that went well :)
Let u s know when u get to sleep normally :) read a book relax before you go to bed take slow breaths -- for school get a digital recorder that you can use for just in case you fall asleep in class. drink milk before going to bed or read a good book to help you sleep..^_^ when you do fall asleep wake up earlier. then you'll get tired earlier. my lil girl would go to sleep around 4 am and wake up around noon so i started getting her up earlier and now she goes to bed around 10pm and is away by 10am. maybe your drinking to much soda and junk food. or if your stressing out you sometimes cant get to sleep cause you have so much on your mind. smoke weed before you go to bed or watch bob ross Good, you are doing your exercising earlier in the day, and not in the evening.
What about caffeine in your diet? Colas, etc.? That can affect your sleep.
Do you have a lot of things on your mind that you are worried about? Is it too noisy or stressful at your house?
Are you hungry when you go to bed? If so, can you fix yourself a small snack before bed?
What time do you need to get up in the morning? Do you go to bed at the same time each night? What about music, tv on - maybe kind of loud?
Try to take a warm shower or bath and make your room beforehand look really relaxing, and comfy. Is your room clean? Organized? It would help--less one thing on your mind. Keeping your room clean on Sat. for the week helps. Is your bed made every day? Then, about 8 pm, please, turn back the covers on your bed, turn on the bedroom small lamp, and try to go to your room to relax about 1/2 hour before it's time to climb into bed.
Scent can help relax you too. Lavender is good for that. Or, if there is a scent you like (air freshener, etc.) that helps you feel happy, relaxed, that would be a good scent to have in your room at bedtime.
Cut out all caffeine by 6 pm, get to bed at the same time each night, get up at the same time each morning, that should help. Try relaxing your muscles when you first lay down in bed for the night. Start with your feet, and in your mind, tell your various body parts to relax, include your shoulders, neck and head at the end. And, relax. I wish you the best. If it continues, please, consult your Dr. about this soon. Take care. try lifting light dumbells and walk around the house with them. it will make you tired afte 15 minutes.
and let your brain rest while youre in bed. stop thinking of things that bothers you. think of the person you like and memorize his face while youre awake. and you will fall asleep without you knowing. You have a common problem. You are wise to be wary of the miracle products that are advertised to you. Since you know that, now you can train your body to go to bed naturally. You may have to try all of the following solutions, or you may just need to tweek a few of them, but I promise you that this program of improved sleep hygeine is highly effective.
1) Get up at the same time every morning (weekends, too, if it all possible). Your body's circadian ryhtm (internal clock) gets reset only by you getting completely out of bed and starting into your day (even if you don't feel like it; even if you're tired).
2) Bright light helps in the morning. Indirect sunlight is best, but I'm usually up an hour before the sun, so I have to turn on all the lights in the rooms I'll be in. The light actaully triggers sesnsation in certain galnds in your brain to make wake-up hormones. There are commercial products that do this and they might work well; I've never felt the need to use them to generate their reputed artificial sunlight right into my home.
3) I know it sounds like I'm not talking about sleping, but if your circadian rhtym is off, you'll end up most nights like the one you describe tonight. Please bear with me.
4) Get a quick tiny bite to eat and drink in your stomach, but not enough to cause cramps. Having food in your stomach first thing in the morning starts digestion which starts metabolism and metabolism is the name for all the mechanism that go into keeping your body cycle running healthy and normal.
5) Exercise. Yes. Right now this morning. Work your way up. Are you not exercising at all? Start 5 minutes a day 6 days this week. Already doing that, then do 10 minutes 6 days this week. How about 20? 30? 40? 50? 60? Our armed focres have it right, if we want to slepp well, we have to stat the day well. Get our natural adrenaline running. Now go hit the showers!
6) Eat a healthy breakfast and spend some time in quiet reflection. You exercised to get the metabolism going, not to get the brain started stressing aobut hinigs you can't solve at the breakfast table anyway, Now is a great time for meditation or prayer, readng a good book, maybe The Good Book. It's also a time to be quiet and let your mind rest so that any lessons learned from your meditation may take hold an give your life purpose today. What could be more restful at the end of the day than knowing you dind't waste your time, but there was a purpose for your life?
7) Now go live accodring to that purpose - with your family, at your job, with your friends, with complete strangers.
8) Now it's time for bed. Spend 15-20 minutes calming your brain down. Computer work does not count. The lights and the sounds trigger small doses of adrenaline which is not healthy here. TV doesn't help. The lights and sounds stimulate the sight and sight prortions of your brain that should be slowing down by now. Get into a routine. Save some boring chores for this eventide, read a book, work on a hobby in dimmer light, spend some time in prayer or gentle stretching or relaxing martial arts forms (to calm the mind, not to prepare for combat).
9) Go to bed at about the same time each night. Lay down and clear your mind. If a thought pops up, give it a name, tell it to go to bed and remind yourself what you're doing there (e.g. Oops, I forgot to get some food for the party this weekend; Oops, I shouldn't be thinking aobut the party right now. I should be thinking about going to sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleeeep. Sleeeeeeeeeep."
10) This technique works wonderfully, but not perfectly. If you absolutely cannot fall asleep inside of 15-30 minutes of trying to so in a calm, quiet, dimly lit room, then find another area of the house. For the next 30-45 minutes, froget about sleeping and go back to #8 for a while. Then go back to #9.
If this does not work after 3-4 nights for you then please call you doctor. You may have more than primary insomnia, the most common sleep disorder in the USA and one that fits well with the deescription you gave.
