Same problem, summer always makes me have old sleep times. I read, it tends to make me "bored" and sleep..

Hey.

There is one way that works for me and that is reading a book. Keep reading it until you either feel really tired or you fall asleep.

Another way is texting. Text one person you will text you back just keep texting until you fall asleep i always tend to do that!

This happens to me all the time.
I listen to really slow, soft music.

I bought a clock, and it makes sounds like the ocean, rain, etc.
It works really well =]

lots of peoplehave trouble falling asleep, it's not that uncommon. obviously you could get a prescription for sleeping pills, but im assuming you would like other suggestions, or you wouldve gotten pills. when you do a physically strenuous activity and make your body tired, you are more likely to fall asleep. so if you work out before you want to go to bed, or play a physically challenging game that will help. you could try reading a book that you find very boring, or you could listen to relaxing music. good luck!

try doing more during the day. more physical activity will make rest more needed.
spend less time sitting on the computer or in front of the TV and instead go out and run, ride a bike, walk, go to a gym, go to a party/club/show, do yard work... just during the day. don't over do yourself though.
also try going to bed earlier.. I know it sounds pointless. but just go to bed a couple hours earlier and listen to music or read a book to slow down your mind.

Hope I helped

Here's an extract i found:

Here are some simple tips that many people have found helpful.

Do's...

Make sure that your bed and bedroom are comfortable - not too hot, not too cold, not too noisy.

Make sure that your mattress supports you properly. It should not be so firm that your hips and shoulders are under pressure or so soft that your body sags. Generally, you should replace your mattress every 10 years to get the best support and comfort.

Get some exercise. Don't overdo it, but try some regular swimming or walking. The best time to exercise is in the daytime - particularly late afternoon or early evening. Exercising later than this may disturb your sleep.

Take some time to relax properly before going to bed. Some people find aromatherapy helpful.

If something is troubling you, and there is nothing you can do about it right away, try writing it down before going to bed and then tell yourself to deal with it tomorrow.

If you can't sleep, get up and do something you find relaxing. Read, watch television or listen to quiet music. After a while you should feel tired enough to go to bed again.

Don'ts...

Don't go without sleep for a long time - go to bed when you are tired and stick to a routine of getting up at the same time every day, whether you still feel tired or not.

Caffeine hangs around in your body for many hours after your last drink of tea or coffee. Stop drinking tea or coffee by mid-afternoon. If you want a hot drink in the evening, try something milky or herbal (but check there's no caffeine in it).

Don't drink a lot of alcohol. It may help you fall asleep, but you will almost certainly wake up during the night.

Don't eat or drink a lot late at night. Try to have your supper early in the evening rather than late.

If you've had a bad night, don't sleep in the next day - it will make it harder to get off to sleep the following night.


If the sleeping problem occurs for a week or something every month, it's probably hormones. Doctors believe teenage bodies tend to be awake late at night/early morning then tired at 11am in the morning. Just give some of them things a go. Sometimes i can't sleep because i just don't feel tired, then i wake up every hour! talk about annoying lol, hormones do strange things.

I hope that helped:) and i hope you get some sleep!
