Sometimes sleep aides don't work if you are really uptight. You must turn your brain off, if you can. Try meditating if you can, put all your problems into a basket. Take them one at a time and place them in the basket, and when you are done, send them to God. I used to put people I was worried about on a bus. One by one I put them on the bus. When they were all on the bus, I imagined God as the driver, and I let Him take them in His bus away to take care of them. It might help you. Another way, is to visualize a white light above your head, concentrate on it, and see it, feel it and it's love. Bring it down through the top of your head, feel it's warmth and relaxing your brain. Then bring it down to your eyes, nose, mouth, neck, shoulders, torso, all the muscles you can imagine, on down to the legs, also through the arms, and hands, just keep on going to the feet. The more you can envision the better, then just relax each thing that you go to and relax it. By the time you are through, you will be relaxed. You have to only concentrate on each area of your body and nothing else. This works too. I believe it is part of Yoga. You must block out any other thing in your mind, and that means the things you are worrying about, or it won't work. P.S. I am not a guy as the picture shows, I am a older woman who has used this to block out cancer when I was being treated with radiation. The inner meditation visualizing your inner self and fighting diseases also is encouraged by the cancer support groups. I have been cancer free 20 yrs. It was breast cancer, and I elected to not have them removed, it was early stage, but I did take radiation and surgery to only remove the small tumor. It does not work for everyone, this type of treatment, but do what your gut tells you, and also the doctor of course. I also took Tomoxifin for 5 yrs, but the stress of it coming back was with me for a very long time. Stress can kill, so try to control it as best you can.

What keeps us awake is our thoughts or tension. Sorry your sleeping pills are not working. What I do and it sometimes works and sometimes is futile.. is to choose a large number.. you choose your own.. probably not over 500. Choose an odd number.
Then, put your attention in your toes and as you count backwards from that number, slowly bring your attention up through your toes to your insteps, heels, ankles, and so on..
When thoughts about not sleeping come in.. and they do.. just let them move through and continue to count backwards. Allow your breathing to slow. Count backwards.. relax... follow the breath and move your attention up through your body. Go slowly and just relax.
Even if you don't go to sleep, you're relaxing and your body is rejeuvenating.
Zzzzzzzzz..

I hear that! I got a big day tomorrow, not feeling tired enough to attempt to sleep. Surprisingly, if I had the discipline, the lying on the couch/bed "fake it to you make it" thing usually helps me to fall ZzZzZzZ....

Don't take another sleeping pill. You have a big day that you are going to miss. You will be asleep
