When it's time to go to bed, my mind refuses. I manage to keep myself occupied with the TV or online for hours when I want to go to sleep. Then when I finally do get to bed, my mind is racing thinking of a hundred different things and I'll stay up for hours before finally getting off to sleep.

Then when I try to wake up, my body refuses. Even if I put my alarm clock across the room, I will wake up, shut it off, then go back to sleep before I conciously realize what I'm doing. I have to set about six or seven alarms between my cell phone and alarm clock to 'warm up' to waking up. If I want to wake up at seven o'clock, I start my alarms at six-thirty and continue to hit snooze until my body feels 'warmed up' and I can stay awake.

Of course, this can lead to limited energy and attention span during the day.

I only drink occasionally. I don't smoke. I take no medication of any sort (and I will not take any sleep aids). Any tips on how to get to sleep when my mind is racing?

I am 5'2 and weight 135lbs. and I use the treadmill everyday in the morning for 1 hour and half burning aprox. from 1,000 to 1,100 cals plus 30 to 40 mins of weight excercises at night. Even though I do all this instead of losing weight I am gaining more especially on my hips and thighs, so I would like to know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm a 14 year old girl who has VERY disturbing sexual thoughts. I've told a few of my friends, but they all say all teenagers go through this but i dont think so. It's starting to ruin my life. i cant keep a boyfriend without pressuring him to do sexual things with me. I cant concentrate on anything for more than 5 mins. without being distracted by the thought of sex. I learned to masturbate at 11 and to my knowledge that's VERY abnormal. I just need to know if i actually am addicted and where can i get help. Thanks, this means so much.

i got attacked from behind unexpected and got hit on the side of the nose. i could see in the mirror about 10mins afterward that the structure(cartilage?) was now crooked/slanted(to one side). i didn't manage to get ice on it (not my fault) so it swelled up bad but mostly on the side that wasnt hit. It was most moved close to the nose tip(although the tip was still in the middle). 2 and a half days later most swelling was gone and it had actually straightened out alot. However it is now straight but from the bridge it is slighly of centre although straight(the cartillage i guess). It can be seen that the side hit is slightly depressed or in compared to the other (non hit) side. How can i get this sorted? Would it need an operation? How bad is it?

I'm 17 years old, 5'3 and 140 pounds which is slightly over weight for my height. I want to eat healthier but there is nothing here except chips, ice cream and cookies. And with me only being 17 I still live with my mother and her boyfriend who is such an idiot, he think that when we have steaks 3x a week we're eating healthy, and he thinks he's always right. How do I talk them into buying healthier foods?
