It sounds as if you are stressing about something. Start noticing if you are clenching your jaws closed at night or grinding your teeth. This could be the cause of the headaches you experience upon waking. What you need to do is some relaxing exercises. Find yourself someplace you can sit or lay in a relaxing position. Start by slowing your breath down. As soon as it is at a manageable pace start to breath in slowly to the count of eight, then breath out to the count of eight (thats one one thousand, 2 one thousand, etc.). Once you've slowed your body down to match your breathing start to notice what is tense and how you are holding your body. Notice the parts of the body that you are tensing. Really take note of this feeling (bad, good or indifferent). Really feel it for a moment. You could even intensify it as much as you can stand. Then, start to let the tension go in each area of the body one area at a time. You release the tension on the exhale. Feel the heaviness of the tension exiting with each breath. Spend some time with each release and observe how this feels to you. Relax with it. Notice how it makes you feel. It may even feel uncomfortable for you at first, but stick with it. After you've released the tension in your entire body hold this relaxed state for as long as possible. Again, make special note to how you are feeling. As a matter of fact it is very helpful if you do this periodically throughout the exercise. You can also use this time before you to mull over problems such as personal growth, spiritual, school, and work for example. Dont be surprised if you fall asleep (sleep is the ultimate relaxed state) though. This exercise can also be good for times when you are having intense problems or difficulties. What you would do is when you enter the final relaxed state you begin to focus on the problems at hand. Just let the ideas come to you, don’t force it. At first answers will come to you in the form of intuition. Your ability to be open to answers to difficulties will grow and become obvious if you keep it up. If you are using these exercises for help with problems you want to make sure you stay awake. If you do fall asleep, though, don't worry about it. You can also use these exercises to help you through difficult situations. People who make you nervous for some reason, for example: If you find yourself in a difficult situation start to slow down your breathing. Check out the areas of the body that you are tensing. Start to release these areas and relax. The more you practice with this the quicker you will be able to adust and not to let other peoples intensity affect you. There will come a time when all you have to do is think about it and you can change your state of mind. If this method doesn’t sound like it will work for you, you do need to look for some way to relax. Your simply taking in other people's negative energy. This will help you reground. Good luck!
Namaste,

well doing stuff like talking on the phone causes you to stay up.. along with watching tv in the dark and stuff like that. try getting off the phone earlier and act like its like 11 when its really 9 so 3 hours later your getting to sleep and yet its still a decent time. also avoid food before bed and try getting ready for bed before you get on the phone so your kinda it like bed mood. also try any med that makes you sleepy.. even like allergy stuff. as long as you are taking the recommend dose and not using it for a long time you should be fine takin it withough needing it

What you need to do is get into a routine that you can stick to every night (maybe with the exception of weekends etc).
Try to get off the phone, or whatever you're doing, an hour earlier than usual and take a bath or a shower to relax you. A bath would be best but if you don't have one then a shower is okay.
Get into your night clothes and make sure you're everything you need for the next day is laid out ready so that you don't have anything to worry about. Make sure any homework/other work you have is done, but don't panic and rush it at the last minute, because that won't help you sleep.
Have a hot drink like hot chocolate but avoid eating an hour before you go to bed. Get into bed about twenty minutes to and hour before you want to start falling asleep and read or something for until you reach that time. Try not to watch TV as this is proven to disrupt sleep. You might want to try listening to music but this can disrupt/help sleeping patterns depending on who you are.
You should find that if you stick to this routine, your sleeping pattern will be a lot better.
