Sleep

I have sleep paralysis and insomnia so I know what you are going through. What I do is I drink a cup of tea with honey in it and listen to the blues and usually that helps me sleep.

I havent been sleeping at all lately. Ive been on a binge

I've had the same problem for as long as I remember. I'll go to bed, but then I'll lay there for another 2-3 hours before I actually fall asleep. Just last week I had a night where i couldnt fall asleep till 6 in the morning. Prayers :')

So I just bought some sleeping pills and have been using those. Placebo or not, they've worked thus far lol...

I've tried to drink a cup of tea and it didn't really help that much,
But it may have had something to do with the fact that I put sugar and not honey.

I'm not stressed.
I Usually don't use the computer before going to bed.
I don't drink Soda or any kind of energy drink before going to bed.
etc.
etc.

And I always read a good book before I go to sleep,but still I just cant fall asleep even if I feel tired I just....cant?

So I wanted to know if anyone had the same problem as me or someone had some tips on how I could fall asleep easier
(I've tried Most of the common methods) so if anyone has some of there own that they can share with me that would be great

Basically if you're not tired, get up do something until you feel tired. Then try to sleep. Usually your body functions on sleep so it should signal you when you need to sleep. Anyways, play some games, watch some movies.
Is your sleep schedule fucked up? Do you go to school?

The ones I took were nonhabit forming, or so it said on the box

It might be normal tho, take a nice hot shower before going to bed and drink some chamomile tea

Also avoid lights inside your room while you sleep and make sure that you sleep in a comfortable bed. Additionally doing exercises about 3-4 hours before going to bed is a good thing.

I don't know, I read somewhere that sleeping pills are actually unhealthy and can do some damage, here's a article #01, article #02 of it. Better safe than sorry, keep in mind your life is precious to someone, and it includes yourself.

Try masturbating before you go to sleep

I can appreciate this however --> keep in mind your life is precious to someone, and it includes yourself.

I've never tried a prescription pills or any of those above, had an idea since I had so much issues with sleeping but as of now (couple of days) I've been extremely sleepy at 8-9PM

I have a good sleeping schedule (except the weekends),
I go to the gym 4 times a week (evening)
I go to MMA 4 times a week

and No It does help to watch a movie (at least for me)

Its not that I'm not tired its just I can't fall asleep no matter how tired I am

I go to the gym Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday

I go to MMA 4-5 days a week So I do plenty of exercise

I have a good bed.
but tea only seems to make it worse (unless there is sugar/honey in it)
