sleep.
okay, this summer ive been having a sleeping issue. i can't get to sleep untill about hm 5 30 / 6. and then i sleep through the whole day. sleeping pills from over the counter do not help me. at all. even with them i can fall asleep till like .. 3 which isnt really any better. really my main issue is school starts Sept. 5 and its Aug. 18th. i dont have much time to change this. how can i?
if i stay up for like 24 hours, and go to bed [with a sleeping pill] at like.. nine. then take a sleeping pill the next day and sleep at like nine again and continue that will i get back on schedule?
PS. i can NOT get to the doctors office.

I suffered from insomnia for 3 years, sometimes not sleeping for a couple days. And if I did, it was no more than 3-4 hours. But this year, I found a natural cure without having to pop pills every night. It's simple - keep yourself active throughout the day. For me, working 8 hours a day @ my job does it. By the time 8pm rolls around, I am usually exhausted & ready to hit the pillow. You can't lay around all day, so if you can't/won't work, try other activities like doing plenty of studying, sports or volunteering to keep your mind & body active. Another thing that can cause insomnia is a poor diet & no exercise; of course you're not going to be tired if you aren't doing anything all day. Start eating healthy, avoid drinking too much caffeine (or atleast not at night time) & other sugary foods. As long as you stay on a routine schedule & do all of the things above, you won't need to take sleeping pills. Get in the routine about a week before school starts & you'll be fine.

No matter what, set the alarm clock to seven o' clock every day, and no matter what, go to bed at ten. You are not allowed to sleep during the day. After a week or so, you should be going falling asleep just fine. And yes, you will be pretty darn tired during the day from lack of sleep, but don't give up. After a week, if you STILL have trouble falling asleep, take the sleeping pill, but still go to bed at ten and wake up at seven.
