you always seem to be doing something, and hat your minds always ticking. tomorrow after school do your work out and the normal stuff you do when you get home but dont have your nap. sit and relax but hold it off. you need to make a routine for your body. and dont take your problems to bed. my boyfriend tells me not to eat or watch tv in the bedrom because it messes up your body clock, and i didnt believe it but it works. so if your doing that stop and see if it helps you too. try the things a said, hope they work for you..

I have chronic insomnia and have had it for 15 years so what I am telling you is tried and true and works for most people.
Sleep Hygiene: Get the TV out of the bedroom, and darken the drapes. The bedroom is designed for sleeping and you shouldn’t do anything else there. You want the optimum conditions for sleep in your bedroom. I run a fan all night long; the white noise drowns out other noises that could disturb my sleep. When I go into the bedroom I compose myself for sleep and that is my goal. I don’t stay up long, I go to sleep or at least start trying to within the first half-hour. I got this from my first visit to the Sleep Clinic at the hospital.
You can turn down the lights a little before bedtime then that can help put you into a sleepy mood, turning down the TV volume and winding down and hour before sleep puts your body into preparation for sleep.
Melatonin is a sleep hormone naturally produced by your body so it is a safe supplement to take, and I have done so for 20 years. Start with a milligram or two and then work your way up to 4-6 until it starts to work. Sleepy Time tea, before bedtime will help since it has natural herbs in it that help to trigger the sleep centers of the brain. Valarian Root is a natural supplement that has helped me and has some doctors recommend it. A doctor recommended the Melaton and Sleepy Time Tea to me.
Some medications have a side effect that causes drowsiness. Trazadone is a safe antidepressant that helps; seroquil is a stronger one that has worked for me. Clearly medication is your last route, and you want to try each previous step before going this far. I have moved on to stronger drugs because my problem is severe.
Ambien and the similar drugs are only good for a week or two, because they don’t give you a deep sleep.

First of all, stop taking naps. Your body needs to be set on a schedule. Get up early, do what you do during the day, without the nap and go to bed early. If you don't take a nap then you will be able to go sleep when you go to bed and you should be able to sleep though out the night.

CUT OUT THE DAILY NAP. You have to get your body on what's called a "circadian rhythm." If you need 8 hours a night, get up at 6am. Do not get in that bed again until 10pm. No Napping. I know a lot about insomnia, so please take my advice. You will be tired for a couple days, but then your body will adapt to going to bed at 10pm. You'll see. :)

You are getting enough sleep. You won't sleep at night if you sleep during the day.

The problem is that you took such a long nap earlier. Skip your nap one day and go to bed early. You'll be able to sleep the whole night.

it looks like your biological time clock has stopped setting the time of your body to go to sleep. here's what i will do if i were you. I'd sleep late (like 9PM) then wake up at 6am. that easy. and eat lots of vitamin c too. i suggest eat more bell peppers or any kind of capsicum plant.

try taking less naps and drink milk before you go to bed (hot milk) or if you just cant sleep at all it is insomnia or something like that, and you needa go to the docter
