All I want to do is . But I can't. I just lie there and can't transition into sleep time. Even though I was exhausted while in class today. I hate this. Well I'm off to try again.

I so feel and know what you are going through as far as the sleep issue hon. I won't get into my issue with sleep.

Just want you to know I have and actually am where you are and just know that I am thinking of you and praying for some sleep for you.

Please take care as I know you have been going through a lot right now.

Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Jen

I know how you feel...I've had severe insomnia for a few years...it sucks!! I'm tired all the time and have dark circles around my eyes everyday...sometimes when I go to work people tell me I look tired or pretty much like crap...I just want to sleep for a few days straight...when I do finally go to sleep, the quality is never good enough to where I feel rested...I've tried sleep aids such as Ambien, Lunesta, and Seroquel. Lunesta worked for one night only...Seroquel made me feel groggy when I woke up...Ambien was great for a while, but because it is only meant for short term use and I took it for almost two years, the effects of it wore off and it no longer worked the way it should have. I need to find something for sleep...I know exactly how you feel...trust me.
Thanks for this!

I myself have suffered from insomnia and it isn't fun. The best thing I do is have yogurt roughly 15 minutes before I go to bed, something in milk products tend to make humans more sleepy.
Or you could try reading before bed, listen to the sounds of rainfall/calming music, not going on the computer and hour before bed or downloading music from Limewire (or whatever you use) that's for people with insomnia. It's a sleeping aid and it makes you picture things, slow down breathing and relax every muscle. If done properly each muscle feels really heavy which is natural. I tend to use this method every night since I cannot sleep without it anymore.
Thanks for this!

There are many ways to get better sleep. You just need to be relaxed. Anxiety is the main cause for the sleeplessness.First don't worry about the things which are not in your control..leave it to god. Before going to bed just relax your mind and don't think that you can't sleep..and just start reading. It really works.
