Can't sleep, HELP ME!!!!?

I just got back from the Philippines about 5 days ago , and I'm jet lagged . I can't sleep at night and it's really hard to force my self to be awake . I'm really worried because I just turned 14 and I'm afraid that this might stop my growth , what should I do?

Hello fellow 14 year old.

Well yeah, don't worry, when you sleep doesn't matter or affect growth. What only matters is that you get at least 8 hours of sleep.

Also just try to fix your sleeping pattern by 1 hour each day, it works.

what I do is listen to a tape, but have it on really quietly, and just think about cool things, its wierd but its how i sleep.

first it isnt going to stop your growth...you might have to ease your self into a normal sleep time, just stay awake more during the day and sleep later in the afternoon and night, eventully it will be back to normal

I live in Germany and travel alot and it is just jetlag and it will go away I think you will have no problems growing you must force your self to stay in bed at night and not get up because you are not tired even if you don't sleep sleep close your eyes and resta nd relax it will help your body more than just staying awake and I think you'll fall asleep.

Try putting a bit of lavender on your pillow, before you go to sleep, the smell of it should help you to get to sleep!!!

Can't sleep? Try peeing. It may sound weird, but it really works! About the growth thing, just make sure that you get 8 hours and drink some milk. If you're desperate, try growth pills.

Go to sermon.

It won't STOP your growth, but, you can IMPROVE your growth, NOT DRAMATICALLY by sleeping 9 hours/day.
Anyway, it usually takes a full day of rest and sleep to get over jet lag stuff. That happenned to me when I came back from Romania. SLEEP for a day. You'll be fine

im nearly 15, i never ever ever sleep i physically cant and i am reall short (1.49m) thats just under 5 ft i think. but jetlag only lasts a couple of days, try shifting your sleeping hours by an hour each day until they return to normal. dont worry ur growth wont be affected, mine only has been because i never ever ever slept i just cant.
