Answer 2

don't try to sleep when you are not sleepy and tired.

Answer 3

Tell your mom and have her call your psychiatrist about it.  I used to have that same problem.  He will either up your prescription or give you some suggestions.  In the mean time try reading before you go to bed, drink warm milk, and make sure that you are not cold or hot.

Answer 4

I used to have issues going to sleep. A trick my therapist taught me really helped. It's simple. Just lay in bed, lights off. Then, once your eyes have adjusted, look around the room and count five things you see, then count five things you hear, then five things you feel. From there go down, so do four things, then three, then two, then one.It works really well for me, I never make it past two or three! Hope you get better!

Answer 5

maybe some music...i know that in stores they have music of the piano or flute and rainforest sounds.........try calming music and think of how good life is!!!....hope it helped!!
