Everynight I sit in bed for about 2 hours before I fall asleep. Its not a big problem staying awake but the stress I go through trying to fall asleep is terrible. It's been going on everynight for about three weeks. I told my mom there was something wrong with me and that I needed sleep pills but she blew it off. So I began taking tylenol PM (without her knowing) and it put me to sleep within 30 mintues. But this weekend I ended up exposing alot of my secrets to her (that I have been drinking, etc) and told her about the pills. She believes me now and is going to take me to the doctor but she take forever to set up an appointment and I hate bringing it up. So Im going to probably end up taking them again. My question is, are all of these problems I've been having signs that im depressed? To me, it seems like what every kid my age does and that I shouldnt be worried.

Have you thought about making the appointment yourself? Perhaps that will get her to realize that your more serious about it. She might already realize that your serious, but since she isn't the one that actually has to go through this, then I doubt she thinks about it as much as you do.

As others have said, it's not a good idea to take sleeping pills every night. Try reading homework. Take your most boring class (for me, it's pharmacology) and read something that you haven't even started learning yet. That way, it will already be borring, and, it will be something you've never heard, and most likely won't really understand, and eventually your eyes will start to drop.
Good luck
