Question Posted Sunday October 10 2004, 9:56 pm

Lately I cant stay awake though a whole day at school and when I get home Im so sleepy but I cant sleep... Then at night when Its my "bed" time or when I feel like I can sleep I lay their for hours and cant sleep... I dont want to take a sleeping pill or night time because i used to be dependant on it, Also I think its starting to affect my grades at first my grades were just as high now their starting to go downhill and I have an F in history... Any Sleep Time Tips would Be Appericated... Also any US History class tips would be appericated (My grade in history wasnt that good to begin with) Thanks in Advance
Chris

As for sleeping, the only things you can really do are to try and be in a calm mood when you go to bed, and not eat or drink anything with caffine or sugar within an hour or two of going to bed. If you're already doing that, then you might want to talk to a doctor about it. As for class, just take notes. You might not even have to study for it to make a difference. Just reading something and then writing it will make it stick in your brain a little better.

im sorry to have to tell you this but you MAY need to start taking pills again...but if you really dont want to hears one thing that helps some people I know...you find something that relaxes you--- a movie cd book website...pretty much whatever...and you watch/listen...you get the point to it every night when your going to sleep...hopefully this will work for you but no garantees

I know this isn't much help, but it came to my mind when I read your question. If you get a book and read it, that might help..because it will make you tired and your eyes will hurt from reading..so yah it makes me sleepy. And I hope it does for you too! Get some rest and I hope your grade comes up! :)

lOve..aLways,

I read that most medicines that are used for sleep have side effects and must be used with caution. It is not recommended to use over-the-counter sleeping pills for insomnia. I think the best way to go is to go to your doctor, because you might in fact have Insomnia and only he can prescribe you a medicine that is safe and works. Good Luck! xoxo

the best thing to do is take benedryl... thats what most doctors recommend... take benedryl everyday at the same time... & than go to sleep at the same time... ur body will get used to that routine then u can stop takin it... if u really dont wanna take medicine... wake an hr earlier than u usually do... than u will be sleepier at nite... dont drink caffine in the evenings... it'll keep you up... i had this problem in the summer... i went to sleep at 5 am... & woke up at 5 pm... feel free to IM me if you wanna talk

I love U.S. history :D! Anyway, take notes when the teacher is talking..even when he/she says you dont have to, have a good breakfest, and ask your teacher for any extra credit stuff you can do. Talk to your doctor about the whole sleeping thing. And ask him if there are any ways to go to sleep faster without the pill. Good luck!
