Okay, so, I am not really one to make threads about my problems. But this is severe. As you may have guessed, it's insomnia. You see, my body will get tired when I go lay down in my bed. But my brain does the complete opposite. It just won't shut up. It'll replay tv shows, videos, and pictures I've seen in the past 3 months. It'll go over "What If" scenarios, it'll just do whatever the hell it wants. I have no idea what to do. I've done everything every guide I could find has said to do. I've taken Valerian Root, I've gotten off the computer at least an hour before bedtime, I've read books, I've tried to think of nothing. I could really use some help, or advice, if anyone has it.

That's exactly my issue.
Typically a Bath before I I also find that if I've been to the gym that day my mind has an easier job accepting it needs Even going for a swim could help. It's a serous issue. No concrete one size fits all solution though Typically a Bath before I I also find that if I've been to the gym that day my mind has an easier job accepting it needs Even going for a swim could help.

I wish I could help, but I don't know much about this issue... Perhaps you should try getting off anything electronic even earlier than just an hour before bed time? It would be inconvenient, though... I really hope you get better soon, User . |

i kinda have the same problem you do, when i'm *this* close to dozing off, i get an itch, or something happens, etc. i dont normally have a solution for this although maybe a good mattress, warm milk, and forcing your eyes shut may do the trick. |

I kind of have this same problem, but it starts off on purpose, I go to bed and I start thinking about something on purpose but then I start to drift off to other topics and usually it takes me at least half an hour to fall a I highly agree with thenumbrrone, even on days I come home full of energy, if I take a hot shower late at night, I will sometimes start to drift off to I also find for me, that I can't fall a I also do have a last resort tactic which is like a hardcore version of counting sheep. I close my eyes and put something over them like a sheet or my arm and I block out outside thought, I try my best to think just about the counting. If I feel myself slowing down the counting, I just force my attention back on it. I count from 1 to 100 quickly over and over, and sometimes I manages to fall a I hope this can help.

There are two interesting One, teens get Second, it's better to think of a waterfall than counting sheep, apparently it's more calming for your mind. If you really aren't that tired at night, you could try to take a nap when you're home from school. It might not be as relaxing but it might be enough to get more energy.

I used to have this problem on the weekends when i was in the military. I found the exercising like thenumberone said helped a lot. There was a gym right next to my barracks in the CQ building, right about the laundry room, and I would just go up and there and tire myself out. But, since I have been out of the military, I just can't fall a But, since I have been out of the military, I just can't fall a |

I'm sure it's the computer. You're hard wired to have everything instantly at your finger tips and when you don't get stimulation, your brain panics. This could be the start of true internet addiction. Try going without the computer, except for critical schoolwork, for four days. You won't miss anything in reality but put it down. Try reading, exercise, cleaning the house, everything else except the computer and video games. When you stop having instant feedback and constant bombardment of stimulation, you'll start slowing down and being able to fall a Saying that, try keeping a pad of paper and a pencil next to your bed. When you think of ideas, write them down so you can worry about them in the morning. That will help you focus your mind. Try sitting quietly with no stimulation for five minutes and practice not thinking about things. It's called meditation and it can be a tremendous help to bring your active, busy mind down to nothingness. It can quiet you and bring some inner peace so you can fall a Good luck.

Exercising has the opposite effect on me. I can go out and and workout for an hour and a half, come home physically tired and eat a bigass plate of pasta but not fall a I get the same problem with insomnia but only at night. Maybe you are an owl and only 1. EAT. A LOT. LIKE A LOT. Gorge yourself and tell me you don't get tired. I don't suggest people to do this a lot because eating a lot right before bed isn't good for you but it works so well. 2. Take some diph (short fordiphenhydramine). It is the active ingredient in some 3. If you are old enough and have someone available who is willing, have sex. An orgasm or two can definitely make you tired. IF you are a lonely person, don't fret. Call yourself romeo and your hand juliet. Works just as well. 4. Find and smoke cannabidiol if you are over 18. If you are going to argue against this, go ahead but like my neighbor used to say, "If you are an atheist, go study religion before trying to argue with me." 5. Some people have a routine before they bed for the night. What is yours? Already have one but it is taking too much time? Shorten it. Some people read before bed. Some drink milk, brush their teeth, then say goodnight to all the pet hamsters. 6. Combo the attacks. You can do all #1 - #5. Or just two. Remember, when tuberculosis was first being treated with drugs, they found that one method was not enough, drugs A, B, and C were all needed to tackle said disease. Sometimes you have to hit your problems with as many solutions as possible to remedy it. Good luck and have fun Dreaming on, TitaniumOxide I get the same problem with insomnia but only at night.

TitaniumOxide :
You shoudlnt eat pasta before going to bed. Its a great meal for energy, but if you are planning to go to It continues to release energy for a few hours. Equally, if you go to Infact a lot of people make the mistake of thinking pastas are healthy eating, but its only really good if you are getting regular exercise. Too much is pretty unhealthy. Your tips: 1.I eat before bed, its like a 4th meal, and I dont know if thats the reason why sometimes I cant 2.There are a tonne of things you can take, including natural herbal extracts. For some, it knocks them cold, for others it does nothing. 3.Not particularly great on a warm night, many people (myself included) have difficulty 4.Not sure about that one, forgetting the legality, I wouldn't encourage using any drug regularly. I find alcohol helps me 5.Routine is good. Whatever works for the individual. Reading is pretty good too, but the choice of book is pretty important. Anything too exciting can stop you putting the book down and over stimulate your brain. And yeh, doctors can help. Although if this is America he is in (im assuming it is), that will cost money, and not everyone has it. You shoudlnt eat pasta before going to bed.
