so tired but can not sleep

[mperez7372]

After years of not sleeping, I finally took someone's melatonin advice.  It is the only thing that works for me!  But it works!  NO tired after effects!

I mostly have insomnia in Summer due to the fact it's either hot or disgustingly humid... If I see that I could sleep in 1 hour, I usually exercise or work on something to tire myself out (which I heard helps you go to sleep faster)

I have tried melatonin myself.  Never worked for me.  I have insomnia all the time and have tried everything but prescription sleeping pills which I am totally frightened of!  I guess I have to just live with it...

I try some gentle stretching and relaxation techniques, which help. Sometimes, it is the tension in the muscles, that prevents us from falling asleep.

With both of my pregnancies for some odd reason I always had insomnia. I'm suffering real bad tonight. Have heart burn all the time and baby moves when I get ready to snooze. This always keeps me up. It doesn't matter how tired I am, or what I have to do the next morning. I can't sleep!!!

Story of my life.  I'm always tired but lay there and think of what I have to do the next day. Bummer!

i've been having this issue the past couple of days i think it might be my allergies making me miserable at night

I've found that those sleep tablets don't help, especially in my case. They get me drowsy, but the "sleep" doesn't last long. I recommend just tiring yourself out near bedtime. Reading also helps.

Sometimes you can be too tired to sleep. Hopefully this is a phase and will pass. I go through spurts sometimes of waking up 2 hours early, etc. Hope it settles for you soon.

I would be so tired and the minute I layed down my eyes would pop right open and I could not get to sleep.  I tried some Melatonin and I woke up with such a headache and I don't think I rested very good.  Won't try that again!

I know what you mean. I keep screwing up my sleep patterns by staying up to late. Then I can't get up in the morning. I hurt my back recently so the pain kept me up last night. Finally I took an pill and then got to sleep. Should of took the pill earlier. So, now I am all frustrated because I was too tired to get much done today.

Those nights aren't the best nights to have!

try to read some boring books.

I am working in evenings.  So I always have problems to sleep.  I think that read a boring book really helps me to get sleep.
