for the past few weeks (possibly months i'm not even sure anymore) I've been having some serious sleep problems, i try to go to bed at a decent time, like 10 or 11 but i just end up spending hours in bed, and only getting to sleep around 2 or 3am. it's really starting to become a nuisance, especially because I keep waking up an hour late by accident and I have to rush like hell to get ready for school, and then I'll spend ages resting my head on the desk because I'm so tired. I've also been taking these drops my mum's got that you're supposed to take just before going to bed but they make absolutely no difference and I just lye awake thinking about random crap. It might just be the pressure of exams but to be honest I never really get stressed and I'm generally a really chilled out guy

 

Anyway, if anyone's got any tips on how to get to sleep it would be much appreciated and thanks in advance

sleep sleep sleep that's all you do. Go OUTSIDE AND RUN LIKE CRAZY AND THEN GO TO BED YOU CRAZY CHILD! (forget the crazy child you crazy child)

I drink green tea because it relaxes me or a cold glass of water before bed and I stretch and loosen up. It's worked for me.

It sounds like you somehow got into a bad sleep schedule. Your body is use to falling asleep late and waking up late. Then you get your rest at school, or at least that's what it sounds like. So, by the time you try to go to bed, you're no longer tired. You need to find a way to not wake up late and not sleep during class. Then you will be insanely tired at night and you should be able to fall asleep. I could be completely wrong, but that's what it sounds like.

I sing before bed, bc singing makes me tired, although sometimes I get yelled at. But that was when I had school the next day. But I don't know about now.

When you are laying down in your bed, close your eyes, then count to yourself...."1 Kingdom Hearts, 2 Kingdom Hearts, 3 Kingdom Hearts, 4 Kingdom Hearts", and so on. Works for me every time.

sometimes i need music to fall asleep.

ohhh man that happened for me too! but that was like two months ago.

 

i usually just wait it out or simply stay awake untill i feel sleepy. you can also read a book that you enjoy (for me it's "the 39 clues")

 

if you get atleast 2 days of sleeping regularly, then i think you wont have trouble sleeping anymore

I sometimes listen to kingdom hearts music if i can't sleep and it knocks me out like a light.

i'm actually considering just not going to sleep tonight so that tomorrow night i'll get to sleep easily. But tomorrow's my last day of school ever and I'd rather not be a zombie for the entire day

i wish i could help pal, i have the same problem

Just remember that Nomura's trolling and we'll never get Kingdom Hearts 3. You'll cry yourself to sleep.

LOL Actually, I would say that Goddess Koko comes up with the best, considering she's at the top of the Reputation list.

I drink Pumpkin Spic Chai tea before bed

And this^ Roxas' Theme works best for me.

 

I also watch this sometimes, because I find it HILARIOUS.

I have the same sleeping problems luckily I'm smart enough to sleep through class and the teachers love me and don't care.

See, that does the opposite for me. I get caught up in the awesomeness and then I can't sleep. Usually I have to listen to boring music to make myself sleep

I would reccommend a nice hot bath and taking long soothing breaths to get you relaxed. Also try to relax every muscle in your body and do not use any electronics 1 hour before your bed time. Sweet dreams.

what i do to get to sleep is watch my favoriye show ever, supernatural, turn the volume down and cover myself in three layers of blankets and i am good

If you really think you're having some sort of sleep problem then go see a doctor.

 

Personally, I don't think that you have a sleep problem at all. You're probably just not tired... and by laying in bed then it is actually causing you to stay awake even longer. If instead of you even attempting to go to sleep at 10 or ll if you waited until like 12 then that might help (or maybe not... but I think it's quite pointless to lay in bed doing absolutely nothing for 4 hours straight...)

 

As for waking up late... do you have an alarm clock? If you do and it's not waking you up then I don't know what to tell you... if it is waking you up and you're going back to sleep afterwards then don't. Make a conscious effort not to go back to sleep. If you are still tired when waking up then I'd say set the alarm clock like an hour or a half hour earlier. And do not go back to sleep. Chances are you'll be tired for like an hour but be fully awake by the time that you wanted to wake up at in the first place.

I've had insomnia since I was born, & can never sleep.

Um.......rub one out?

I've been having sleep issues to! I've found that I go to bed whenever I feel tired which is usually around 12. And it's odd, I find I only need about 5 hours of sleep before I'm powered up, instead of that recommended 9 hours. But the only tip I can give you is try to be more active in the day so you're tired later in the day. Start working out after school or something, I used to do that a year ago and after I went in my jaqcuzzi (or a bath) and fell asleep like a baby.

I have 2 alarms set up, the second one five minutes after the first, just in case but I tend to find that I end up ignoring the first one, going back to sleep and then sleeping through the second

I'd been planning on taking up running over the holidays anyway. And half the time I get up wonder around for an hour before going back to sleep and by that time i'm really tired but i still can't sleep
