Get some exercise to help you feel better because sometimes unexpended energy makes you sleepy. If you can't sleep, do relaxing things like listen to music or count stars or turn on the tv. Let yourself know its ok if you aren't sleeping, but you need to at least lay down and relax. Eventually, your sleep pattern will correct itself if you go to bed and get up at a regular time.
