Sleep???
I'm having trouble sleeping, it feels like I'm never tired, and when I am, I still can't fall asleep. I'm not having nightmares, or scary thoughts, I'm just not being able to sleep. Like I'll shut my eyes for over 3 hours, and still be awake, and it's really annoying. Any ideas what wrong????? Oh and by the way my bed and pillow are comfortable, so thats not a problem either. Thanks!

There's no way to know what's causing it. If you're sleeping late because it's summer, that might be why. Here are some ideas:
- Avoid sugar, caffeine, exercise, and eating close to bedtime.
- Do something relaxing before bed. Stretch, listen to quiet music, take a bath.
- Try using lavender products, for some reason they help people sleep. Bath and Body Works has a good Lavender Vanilla spray, lotion, and oil, put some on or spray a bit on your pillow.
- If all else fails, try Melatonin supplements. Available at Trader Joe's and anywhere that sells supplements, you take a 500mg chewable a half hour before bed and it really helps.

that happens to me all the time.. one thing that i did is listen to music.. like soft acoustic and stretch a little before dont exercise before because that'll give you endorphins which will give you energy.. just stretch and do your best before you sleep.

How much exercise do you get during the day? Try doing more exercise. Any exercise you like will do. (Don't do this if you already get a lot of exercise.)
Avoid caffeine and sugar (except for fruit), especially after 4 in the afternoon or so.
If you can help it, don't use the computer in the evening. Read a book instead.
Drinking milk may also help you fall asleep (unless you're lactose intolerant - don't drink milk if that's the case).
If the problem persists, you might need medical help.

I had that problem when I was a teenager.
What I did when I had trouble falling asleep, I would switch my pillows and blankets so that my head was at the foot of the bed.
I know, sounds strange, but it worked for me. I can't explain to you why it did, because I really have no clue.
It may not work for you, but may be worth a shot, anyhow.
