I literally cant fall asleep unless I am doing something and I pass out. Like if I a reading, online, or watching tv I cant sleep. Its been getting progressively worse and I been sleeping less and less. I been staying up to 3 for the fact I just cant sleep but if I online long enough I literally pass out drooling at my screen. If I get off the computer since I am dozing off I cant go to sleep.

    My therapist would call that poor sleep hygiene. I do it too.

    Been there. The trick is to be active during the day so you naturally want to fall asleep. Doing things like unplugging a good hour or two before bed increases your odds as well.

    A routine is what you need. Something that involves relaxation and minimal stimuli.

    I don't know if it's the same for you, but in my case I distract myself with the Internet before bed because I don't want to deal with my own thoughts. I'm also prone to nightmares. One time even a good fantasy I had while lying in bed turned into a straight-up nightmare once I fell asleep.
