at night i cant go to bed!! my mom wont let me take any medicines cuz im only 13. "happy thots" no longer help. is there any programs or something i can get to help me sleep. i got this sleeping cd to help u sleep but i get scared still..ive had this my whole life and i get scared SOO much!

i would go see your pediatrician and let them prescribe you something or go see a psychiatrist. its not for crazy people only. millions of americans are insomniacs, its not that uncommon. i listen to harbor mist when i go to sleep, its got waves in the background and then classical music. it also might help if you do a little yoga or meditation before bed. it might sound stupid but its not. Breathing exercises can do wonders for you. And while counting sheep may not be great count as high as you can in your head with your eyes closed in your bed at night and it will make you tired. no sweets before bed and no caffeine after i'd say 7:30. don't read or watch tv a half hour before bed because you mind is focused on the topic and you wont be able to sleep with your mind thinking about it. before you go to sleep try just laying in your bed and staring up at the ceiling, counting your breaths. i don't really understand what your afraid of, but your never too old for a night light if you need one. thats not dumb either. everyone has different sleeping conditions, you just need to adjust to yours.
