I cant seem to sleep!!!!!????

Question

it takes me about 1-2 hours to sleep and i dont want to take sleeping pills because im 14

Answer 1

No one has answered because the usual answer is a sleeping med prescribed, or my fave, a glass of red wine.  I will try to solve for you though.  Sleeplessness is sometimes caused by stress.  If you are emotionally stressed, your body cannot relax.  Sometimes, you just may not be tired.  But if you have always gone to bed at a certain time, it could be a number of things.  Try a radio station of classical music and you will be surprised at how relaxed you are.  It triggers a psychological reaction to relax and follow the music, not your stress.  Turn out all lights too.  If your eyes are stimulated, so is your mind, and your subconsciousness.

Hope this helps, buddy.

Find the cause of it and fix it then problem is solved. You are 14 - could it be because the new academic year is about to start? Could it be hormones all over the place? Are you winding down enough before you need to go bed to sleep or is your brain still too active? There could be all sorts of reasons - find it, fix it and job done without sleeping pills.
