can't sleep.


Question Posted Thursday July 17 2008, 2:05 am

Okay so I've been awake for going on 48 hours here. I'm a tiny bit tired but everytime I try to go to sleep I just lay there for hours. I'm not into the whole taking sleeping pills thing so what other things can I do to fall asleep fast?

Don't say exercise, change your diet, don't eat heavy meals, and don't drink caffeine before going to bed because I've already tried all that. I just can't sleep. :/

You may want to see a doctor. Fourty eight hours is quite a long time to stay up without purposely trying to. You may have a sleeping problem.

However, if this is not the case count sheep. It sounds dumb, but it does work. Furthermore, eating heavy meals actually will make you tired. Specifically, eat turkey. A chemical fond in turkey and other poultry makes your sleepy.

Also give these a shot:

Keep a journal or talk on the phone before you go to bed. Sometimes people have built up tension from the day that keeps them awake at night. It feels good to let it out.
