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?
