My mind is tired but my body refuses to let me sleep what do I do?

Question

My mind is tired and I can barely hold conversations but at night when I try to go to bed my body gets a surge of energy. It feels like my body wants to go run a mile when I know I need to go to sleep. What do I do? Is there a solution to this that doesn't require medication?

Answer 1

Usually I buy a really boring book and try reading it right before I go to bed at night and for some reason my eyes get really heavy from trying to focus on the print I pass out after about 10 minutes. Other than that try actually taking a short walk right before bed. Hope you get some rest soon! Take care

Try relaxation techniques, there's a lot online, they used to help me when I wanted to, plus its good to know for when you are stressed out.

You could cheat and take a sleeping pill but Its not healthy to rely on them.

Avoid Caffeinated beverages after 1am.

try warm Milk, it actually  is supposed to help, like turkey, has the same chemical effect.
