So do I !!! Try reading a book, when you get sleepy, leave the lamp on and go to sleep, don't do anything, don't get out of bed, because then it goes away. Try listening to soft music until you fall asleep. You can even leave the TV on and get used to going to sleep with it. But my favorite, not because I like it, but because it works the best, let your body fall asleep at 2 a.m, set an alarm for early in the morning (7 or 8), then keep yourself busy the whole day, no naps, and go to bed early, do it a couple of nights and your body will adjust. If that doesn't work, try webmd.com

Are you depressed? Depression can make you feel tired even if you had a full night's sleep. I guess it takes a lot out of a person and no regular amount of sleep seems like enough. You might be depressed if you have stopped being interested in friend and social events, you are eating more or less than usual, or you wonder what is the point of waking up in the morning.

-Get a lot of fresh air and exercise in the DAYtime
-Take a warm bath about an hour before you want to sleep
-Drink chamomile tea or sleepytime tea about 1/2 hour before you want to sleep
-Get some lavender candles or incense--very relaxing
-Learn to meditate--it clears the mind, and can help
-If you are near 18, try MELATONIN, an over-the-counter supplement that helps even those with jet lag-or those working rotating shifts to sleep
If none of the above helps (but some should), you may need to not sleep at all when it hits 3 in the morning. Force yourself to stay up until at least 7PM the following night. You may need to do this a couple of times to 'turn your hours around'.

I used to have this problem. I would always pick night to think over all my thoughts because i was busy during the day. I would try not to think but my mind just wanted to. This was just something that slowly stopped when I slowly started having more meditation periods during the day (I don't mean like sitting down and doing some yoga, I mean just taking time to relax.) I also tried to get all my energy out during the day or before I go to bed in order to help me go to sleep at night.

-Do some physical exercise in the evening maybe go to a gym.
- Dont watch TV as the last thing before hitting to bed.
- Take a relaxing shower before sleep.
- Finally, don't think about anything when you are trying to sleep, just relaxxxxxxxx

start getting on a regular exercise program, that usually will snap your body/mind back on line...if that doesn't help try taking tryptophan when u r ready for bed. That's the stuff in turkey that makes you sleepy, worked wonders for me years ago and people i have told about it said it worked for them too.

I have trouble sleeping as well, and im also a VERY light sleeper so every little noise wakes me up.

Melatonin works well.
Unisom is good.
And I have a number of techniques in my blog on myspace at www.myspace.com/thedavezone
