At least two times a week, I go through these periods where, even if I feel tired, I simply can't fall asleep, and end up spending at least an hour limply laying in bed, then I end up going online or doing some homework, or whatever. The general problem seems to be that I experience metacognition (thinking all the time) about random bullshit, and it keeps me up. It ends up hurting me a little during the day...I get a little ornery, and my concentration gets a little fuzzy. It's been going on for maybe six months. Should I get some over-the-counter sleep aids? Know any home remedies? Thanks.
P.S. Physically, I don't think it's doing much. Maybe some bags under the eyes...here's a pic:

Do I look sleep-deprived? What should I do?
