If your computer's in your room, find a way for it to shut off or hibernate if it isn't doing anything for a while; the electronics give off a slight hum that disrupt sleep patterns.

Same goes for a phone, etc.

And then there's that whole sleeping in a bed thing. =D

Eh, insomnia is a common problem that affects millions every year.

try Melatonin. it's not a medicine, so you'd be able to take it. try taking it 2 hours before you want to fall asleep.
as for falling asleep at 1:00 every night - i do the same. it doesn't bother me though. i can go for a long time without sleep and i'll be fine. on most nights, i'm lucky if i get over 5 or 6 hours of sleep.
i take advantiage of my partial insomnia & read, write, or draw. music helps me fall asleep, but if i remember correctly, you already said you tried most of those things.

I think I have insomnia but Im not worried much. I used to sleep a good 8 hours a day but for the last few days I have had 4 hours each night and I am not super sleepy. I have no idea how that works but it does. I think youll be fine and just try out lots of things to help. Tell me if you found a good method though.

If it goes in my mouth to help my body or trick my body into thinking something. It's medicine.

Then go outside and sit in the sun a while. Melatonin is a natural hormone produced in your body. It is one of the same things that I suggested.

Hit yourself over the head with a bat. Instant knock out!


Okay, drinking warm milk makes me sleepy. Ot grab an insanely hard Sudoku puzzle and stare at it until your brain gives up and sleeps. Unless you're like some Sudoku prodigy, uhh.
Spin around in a circle until you're really dizzy then lay down and maybe then?


Think about all the things we could pull out of our asses to help you sleep better. The list is infinite.

I used to have a problem with that a couple years ago. Well, mine was actually more of being afraid of not being able to sleep. I used to lay there every night and be like "Omg I can't sleep what do I do?!?" and I started freaking out lol.
My mom gave me this book called How to Quit Worrying and How To Start Living by Dale Carnegie. It really helped me out and now I don't have that problem anymore.
I suggest checking it out because it's wondefully written and it tells you how to deal with different things and insomnia's one of them.
It says stuff like if you can't sleep, that just means that your body doesn't need as much sleep as you think it does. And it says to pass the time with reading or doing something calming until you fall asleep.
And don't worry if you can't sleep. Worry seems to be a huge causer of insomnia. If you've tried reading and it doesn't work, just lay there and think about something that makes you happy. No doubt you'll fall asleep eventually. That's how I got over mine actually.
I hope that helps a bit

The OP is lucky. I can't sleep until like 6 am.

Try to make the day seem as long as you can; lots of activities and whatnot. Make your room a more comfortable place, and maybe turn up that fan/AC. Play some Assassin's Creed or some other repetitive game.
