I find getting to sleep a real struggle.
Nearly every night I takes me at least 2
hours to fall asleep. Even when I go to
bed really late and I mean really late,
we are talking staying up for 24 hours, I
still cant get to sleep immediately, even
though i'm tired. The bad thing is once
I do get to sleep I find waking up a real
hassle. The problem is when I first
wake up I can fall straight back to bed
very easily, why is this?

I have the same problem. I am 15 and I
have been struggling with the sleep
situation. I have one or two things that
might help you sleep better. 1.)before
you want to go to sleep drink some green
tea. Personally it doesn't work for me
but, it might for you. 2.)take benydryal
an hour before you want to go to bed. It
really works for me. It also will help
any sinus problems you might have that you
don't know of. Hope this helps.
Love,
arisha

Hello kensf2,
do you just cant get into sleep or you
have any other problems like emotional or
physical discomfort; more particularly
when it is from internalized anxiety or
anger, emotional problems environmental
factors like noise, light, or extreme
temperatures (hot or cold) that interfere
with sleep. Extreme temperatures can
disrupt one's sleeping patterns. Noise
and bright lights can have the same effect
too. These problems also affect our
sleep.
Some helpful tips.
Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late
in the day. Caffeine and nicotine are
stimulants and can keep you from falling
asleep. Alcohol can cause waking in the
night and interferes with sleep quality.
Make your sleeping place comfortable. Be
sure that it is dark, quiet, and not too
warm or too cold. If light is a problem,
try a sleeping mask. If noise is a
problem, try earplugs, a fan, or a "white
noise" machine to cover up the sounds.
