I'm 13, and having really bad problems sleeping at night. I just can't sleep! What can I do?

Question

I don't think I'm an insomniac, but I can never get to sleep, always on weekends! I end up staying up until 2:00 a.m. at least. What should I do??

Answer 1

Start relaxing about an hour before you go to bed. Have a warm bath with a few drops each of lavendar and chomomile eseenital oils added. Then when you come out have a drink of hot milk (no tea or coffee!) with a little cinamon added. When you go to bed, do not read or watch TV.. Get into bed and lay down. Start with your toes and tighten and relax each muscle group right up to your face. Then do a big sigh and you will be asleep before you know it. It works wonders...;

Answer 2

Sleep With Your Head Facing North, Don't Watch TV or Read Before Going to Bed, Toe Wiggling, Stomach Rub, Progressive Relaxation Deep Breathing Visualize Something Peaceful
Visualize Something Boring Imagine It's Time to Get Up
Quiet Ears.Just try it..may be it will work..

Answer 3

Just get in bed, switch the lights off and wait till you fall asleep. Read a boring book if you like. Drink a camomile infusion or warm milk. Don't stress and don't use any alcohol, cigarettes or drugs for any reason.

Answer 4

Try staying up all night. The next night you will be able to sleep easier. But if it continues to be a problem, ask your parents to make a doctor appointment for you.

Tell your mom to take you to Wal-Mart or GNC and get some Melatonin. Take one before you go to sleep.
