I have tried everything from counting sheep, the relaxing every muscle in my body, to trying to think on nothing. NOTHING'S WORKING!!! And my schedule is too busy and my days to active to only get 6 hours of sleep every night. Help me!!!

You probably have very high (imbalanced) levels of adrenaline, so it will be very hard to sleep naturally. Usually the only thing that helps is a lifestyle and diet change, and time. If your adrenals become fatigued, your other hormone levels run too high, and sleep is - as you see- impossible.
Try to change your diet to cut caffeine, sugar, junk and processed foods. Eat enough complex carbs, and possibly try chamomile or valerian tea, or melatonin.

I usually suffer from this problem when I have exams and I 've tried many means myself and finally the only thing that really works is that i close my eyes,sleep in a comfort way and start imagining a way of drawing.for example,imagine a huge square,with another inside, and another inside till i really sleep may not more than 5 minutes.but that the main square or any other shape is really huge that u have time to sleep.
and i don't agree that 6 hours r enough because even those who sleep 3 hours r doing nothing but destroying their nervous system.
good luck and tell me if it works

Adults need eight hours, it's true. Another one you could try is herbal tea called Nighty Night.
Or, better yet, take a motion sickness tablet, like Gravol!!! Just give yourself enough time for it to wear off again. (9 hours before you have to get up, take ONE.)
Good luck!

Boo hoo. 6 hours?? That is actually enough sleep. Most people don't even get 3 hours a night. Stop complaining.

I used to have that problem too ...
there are little things you can do
1. don't do work in your bedroom
2. don't watch tv or go on the computer an hour before you go to sleep
3. sleep in total darkness
4. don't drink caffeien or sugar after 3 oclock

Try moving to a quieter room.
I exercise and make myself tired then go to bed.
Then I daydream about the simple pleasures in life and fall asleep.
