i have such a hard time falling asleep at night !! i dont know i could be drained of energy in the evening not go asleep and when night time hits 'm full of energy its crazy!!

but it sometomes help if i have complete silence and no lights on but thats just me

Answer 2

Me too!  I feel like my mind never stops thinking and when i'm not thinking a song just plays over and over again in my head.  It's weird i actually need the TV in the background to listen to something else to get my mind off things.

Answer 3

sometimes when i have jetlag, i stay til about 1 or 2 til i feel sleepy. I also get kinda hungry so i make a cup ramen that sometimes makes me sleep better.

Answer 4

i do. i am highly gifted and also been diagnosed with chronic insomnia. my brain never switches off and if i am stressed or excited it affects me even worse, i have been on all sleep medications and none of them work, including rohypnol. it really isn't pleasant

Answer 5

If it was up to me, I'd never sleep at all.  But, husband puts me in bed and I just lay there for hours looking around and then I fall asleep for a few hours.  If it wasn't for him, I'd never sleep.

Answer 6

I'm a severe night person, too.  It's just unfortunate that we live in a daytime world, huh?  My hubby thinks I'm crazy.  I may go to bed between 2 or 3, but I don't fall into solid, dreaming (REM) sleep until 5 or 6 when he gets up to go to work.  Sometime I think his snoring keeps me slightly awake.

I try drinking chamomile hot tea, taking a long, slow hot shower and thinking about a favorite movie with my eyes closed in bed.
