Answer 1

What i do is this: i lay in my bed and pretend that im really tired and i m trying to move my body but its to heavy and im too tired. trie your feet, your legs, your hands, your arms, youll start to relax and get sleepy, try for a while and you ll get sleep.

Don drink coffee at least 5 or 6 hours before sleep and dont use headache pills that use caffeine, use paracetamol or aspirins instead.

What Happens During Sleep?
You don't notice it, of course, but while you're asleep, your brain is still active. As people sleep, their brains pass through five stages of sleep. Together, these stages - which doctors call 1, 2, 3, 4, and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep - make up a sleep cycle. One complete sleep cycle lasts about 90 to 100 minutes. So during an average night's sleep, a person will experience about four or five cycles of sleep.

Stages 1 and 2 are periods of light sleep from which a person can easily be awakened. During these stages, eye movements slow down and eventually stop, heart and breathing rates slow down, and body temperature decreases. Stages 3 and 4 are deep sleep stages. It's more difficult to awaken someone during these stages, and when awakened, a person will often feel groggy and disoriented for a few minutes. Stages 3 and 4 are the most refreshing of the sleep stages - it is this type of sleep that we crave when we are very tired.

The final stage of the sleep cycle is known as REM sleep because of the rapid eye movements that occur during this stage. During REM sleep, other physical changes take place - breathing becomes rapid, the heart beats faster, and the limb muscles don't move. This is the stage of sleep when a person has the most vivid dreams.

Don't for get you need to follow a sleep pattern to acomplish your sleep same time every night?

How Can I Get More Sleep?
Recently, some researchers, parents, and teachers have suggested that middle and high school classes begin later in the morning to accommodate teens' need for more sleep. Some schools have already implemented later start times. You and your friends, parents, and teachers can lobby for later start times at your school, but in the meantime you'll have to make your own adjustments.

Here are some things that may help you to sleep better:

Answer 3

Get more tired in the day...do some exercises (at home if it's too hot outside.)
OK, here are some suggestions for getting to sleep:

--Read a really boring book
--Play a handheld video game
--listen to some soft classical music (may I recommend J.S. Bach's Goldberg variations, which was written for an insomniac such as yourself)
-- get a "sound machine" they play sound effects like waves crashing etc.
-- aromatherapy .. I seem to remember lavender was good for sleeplessness, check me on this
-- umm.. the obvious thing (you know, the most popular topic in the "singles and dating" category)

Good luck & good night (hopefully)

Answer 4

I wish I knew I have the same problem and even take medication but it makes me even more tired the next day then if I just have less sleep. Someone told me to not have caffeine after 6pm I'm trying it... good luck try Tylenol PM I've heard it works but I can't take Tylenol
