I Can't Sleep! I Don't know What to Do! HELP?

I dont know where else to post this!!!!

Lately I can't sleep. I go to be late and wake up fairly early. I "fall asleep" easily but I constantly wake up and I dream VERY vividely and in great detail. More than usual, and these dreams are more about unimportant imaginative stuff. Stuff I wouldn't normally dream about. Like this one dream at a party where this goth dude is picking me up and I can see across the croud and I see my ex. Stuff that's far out but could possibly happen in real life. anyway, I just can't sleep anymore, and while I'm awake, my mind is running so much faster than it usualy does. I feel like I'm on massive drugs (which I'm not) My mind is going in a million different directions at one time. Thoguhts and ideas are coming at me so quickly I can't complete one thought before jumping to another. I've been keeping a journal in the past month and a half. Everything in it is so unusual. It's just a book full of thoughts, far out thoughts. One entry is about "how a second can change your life" and "how if fate is true then what about Karma... they can't work together". I wish I could just calm down, but I kind of like this. I'm being more social and opinionated (if i can be anymore!!) and I'm being so much more creative. I'm writing more and drawing, But the point still lies, why can't I sleep! I need to sleep and it's killing me that I can't! What do you think is wrong with me?

 

i got the same problem, i just dont sleep much now
sometimes ill be up for several days straight and feel all tweaked out and have millionsof ideas and stuff just like flowing through my mind but i cant concentrate on any of it very long.
i dont really know what you can do about it though...

 

Melatonin...

 

I'd suggest you call a fag, a turtle then the grape fruit will rise to be.

 

That would work too...

 

A few questions for you:
1) How much exercise do you get each day? week?
2) What is the last thing you eat and how soon do you eat it before going to bed?
3) What kind of stress have you had in your life recently?

I've had trouble sleeping in recent months due to various weirdness going on in my life. Lots of changes going on. My mind is also going in different directions all of the time. Not only is it hard to concentrate on a conversation, but it has an impact on my sleep. A few things that have helped me have been exercising more each day, finding something to focus on, and ridding myself of a few burdens that I've let keep me down. Your lack of sleep could be a number of things, but this is what I could think of at this point in time.

I wish you pleasant dreams and a good night's rest.

 

You could be right. Sitting at home all summer dosen't allow much exercise for me and it's so stressful. I DID just have a huge break up caused by a fight with my mom. She hated the guy I was seeing and he caused me to do things I wouldn't normally do. Such as breaking my parents rules, which in turn though me for a loop. As far as what I eat before bed... nothing really. Sometimes I may eat something small like some grapes or chocolate covered rasins. We baked a cake this week and I had that one night. Sometimes I'll have popcorn. But it's always something small!

 

Earlier this year I could sleep id go to bed at like 10 am. If you drink caffeine stop, the withdrawl will smack you on your ass and youll get a ebtter sleeping pattern. I was the same exact way as you described. It sucks huh? It made me feel really mental at times.
