Answer 1

I've had trouble sleeping since I was in junior high (I'm 29 now).  First things first: when you're in bed, and you can't sleep, figure out why.  Are you uncomfortable?  Too hot?  Too cold?  Can't find a good sleeping position?  In pain?  Is your mind too active?  Stressed?  Excited?  Wild imagination?  It may vary from night to night.  I actually deal with all these things, and have ways of battling each one.

If you just can't seem to get comfortable, try:

-Straightening out your bedding and pillows, or re-making the bed.

-Sleeping sideways or upside-down in your bed (your head at the side or foot of your bed).  Sounds really wierd, but works for me.

-Sleeping on the couch, in a chair, on the floor, or in a different bed.

If you are in pain (sore muscles or joints), try:

-A big glass of water and an anti-inflammatory pill like Tylenol (check with your parents first to make sure it's okay).

If you just can't relax or stop thinking:

-Read a really boring book.

-Lie on your back.  Starting at your feet, tense the muscles in each part of your body (feet, calves, thighs, abs, etc.)  for 10-20 seconds, then slowly release.  Try to concentrate on your breathing and movement.

These are just some tricks that have worked for me over the years.  If nothing works, have your parents talk to your doctor.

Try reading a boring book, drink warm milk before you go to bed and do some exercises so that you feel tired. From http://nosleep.in

Answer 4

I used to have this and it had a lot too do with me just not letting myself go to sleep. Like if you have a TV or comp in your room just shut them off and lay there no matter how long it takes. Eventually you should fall asleep. Hope this works.
