I used to be just like that. Then my grandma told me about this over-the-counter medicine called Melatonin. It's an all-natural sleep medicine and it can't hurt you. I would do the 3mg if I were you. It'll work, trust me.

I have nights like this its fustrating and sucks all you want to do is sleep but you can't id seek help from a doctor who can give you mdeicne if it gets to a really bad point.

See a doctor.

You do have a couple options that may help. Take a warm bath before bed to relax you. Don't watch tv before bed, its too stimulating - try a book or something. Don't go to sleep on an empty or a full stomach. A night light or a liitle bit of calm, quiet noise can help. Aromatherapy. Make sure you are getting proper nutrition. No caffeine after lunch. Lastly, I've heard of but don't know about Melatonin, but another option is Benadryl in a pinch (though dont take any meds for very long without talking to a doctor or pharmacist first!)

I have it on/off all the time, it used to make me really grouchy and depressed, but eventually I realised there's no point in stressing over no sleep because then you WILL get no sleep, just forgetting about everything will enable you to relax and you'll drift off naturally ^__^

Also if you've been awake for a while I suggest either swapping ends of the bed or maybe a different room. A new environment used to help me a lot :)

Most frequently, I tend to use hypnosis and self-hypnosis to train the idea of quieting my thoughts when desired, not necessarily for the purpose of sleeping. Nevertheless, I believe it works well for insomnia; dozens and dozens of therapeutic hypnosis files are available to listeners for free ( created for sleep and relaxation).

It's a rather uncommon approach, I suppose, but still a peaceful and enjoyable way to drift off to sleep. I listen just about every night nowadays. :)

Best thing about insomnia is all the spare time. Utilize it

Smoke pot. It does the job AMAZINGLY.

over the counter antihistamine called phenergan,I have been taking it for years with no ill affects
