I'm hoping someone can give me some advice...
I'm 17 and I've been to JDC twice, the last time being a month ago. Ever since then, sleeping has become incredibly difficult.
Sometimes things will run through my mind that keep me awake, but most of the time, I just lay here completely blanked out staring into space, unable to fall asleep. Normally, as a teen of course, I'd go to sleep without too much trouble around midnight. Now its rare that I fall asleep before 4.
Why can't I sleep right anymore? And how can I sleep well again? I've been taking Nyquil and I know that's not good...help please...

First I would check with a doctor to make sure there is no physical reason for your probelm. Next I would get some Relaxtion CDs and listen to them at bedtime. Also, earlier in the day try to work in some exercise but not too close to bedtime. Try to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning. It will take some time to get you back in a good sleep cycle but it can be done. Good luck.
