If you are spending your awake time on a computer or watching television you are stimulating your brain. Turn the screens off. If you can, avoid the computer for a week and see what happens.
Good luck!
Man,that's really serious. Lucky, that we made an investigatory report about insomnia.We researched about the herbs that could cure it. First, brew a peppermint tea.Then, Mix it with Valeriana Officinallis or what they call the Valerian root. Then put 2 parts of Leizenzi capsules or the Xyleria Negripes.Put some honey with the tea. Wait for 10 minutes before drinking it.Before you drink, inhale first the aroma from the tea.Then drink. For more info, go to my website next week when we post it.

i had insomnia for a month and i ended up with psycosis, its really dangerious 4 ur mental health. u must go to a doctor and he should prescribe you with sleeping vry strong tablets
i think it's time you seek medical help on this thing. my cousin has insomnia too that she has to go on sick leave since she cannot work during the day as that is her sleep time. she is undergone therapy for this. she says the acupuncture she got seems to be the best contributory factor that helped her get over it.
Stop ALL caffiene - drink warm milk (the reason for this is because it has a NATURAL sleep inducing enzyme), eat turkey before bed as it also has the same enzyme.. get on a NORMAL schedule - no matter how tired you are - rise in the morning, and stay up all day and do your best to go to bed at the same time every night. Schedules are important to the body and when we 'mess them up', it takes a bit to get back on track. Once you get back on a normal schedule you can start your caffiene back if you wish, but do it in increments to see if it was what caused it in the first place.
P.S. Do not make your bed a place for fights, and lay down for no more than 20 mins and if you do not go to sleep get up.. use deep breathing exerrcises etc..
i was like this once and i got sleeping tablets from the Doctor the best thing to do is go to bed the same time every night and you must get up at the same time in the morning. it will reset your body clock. hope this helps it worked for me
you can try breath therapy. just concentrate on your breathing when you lay down on your bed. inhale deeply and release slowly. try to think of nothing. after a few moment you will fall asleep.
it is actually one method of meditation, and they do it by sitting cross-legged. i try it myself when i can't sleep and modify it a little bit. lol..
it is believed that the meditation is powerful for physical and mind healing.

Try not to spend your time in bed during the day time wether asleep or awake, try to stay awake till late at night, maybe reading a book or something to keep your mind busy and make sure you dont do any form of exercise just before bed as it keeps you alert, one last thing if you sleep alone try sleeping with lots of pillows (under your head, behind your back, between your laps) try to get as comfortable as possible with all the pillows around you.
Good luck
I had a bad problem with insomnia for many years, and did some research on it. Here are the things I’ve found that help the most.
1. Don't take the sleeping pills. Although they are not addictive in the way we tend to think (you won't jones for them if you miss taking them) they are addictive in the sense that once you have taken them for a while, you will have to take them to get to sleep, but they won't have the same effect they used too. This is because you tend to not get the necessary REM sleep you need to be rested. If you must take a sleeping pill, take it well before you go to sleep. For instance, I prefer to take sleeping pills 2 hours before I go to sleep, so that the pill can get into my system and make me drowsy before I get into bed, then get out of my system (hopefully) early enough that I get some normal sleep.
2. Try to go to bed at about the same time every night. You have some wiggle room on this, but if you stay out on Saturday night till 3, it'll be harder to go to sleep at 10PM Sunday.
(Which somewhat contradicts:)
3. If possible, don't go to bed if you're not sleepy. Note - one thing I have read and found to be true is that you have to be awake for 12 hours before you can go back to sleep. So if you sleep till noon, again, you won't be sleepy at 10PM.
4. Don't spend more than 15-30 minutes trying to get to sleep. If you notice that you've been in bed more than 15 minutes, get out of bed and do something for a while. Make sure what you do isn't going to make you more hyper; e.g. no exercising or energetic music or writing posts to online debates.
5. When you go to bed, choose a chore or some other task that you do not want to do and tell yourself that if you are still awake in thirty minutes you will do that task. Then, if you are still awake, get up and do your chosen task. This is my favorite suggestion, as it has worked nearly every time I've used it. .
Those are the most useful suggestions I have. Other things you can try:
Before you start getting ready for sleep, turn off high energy music and turn the lights down. I love R&R music, but I went through a period where I had to turn the radio off every night about an hour before I went to bed, or I would be too wired to sleep. And our bodies react to reduced light by producing melatonin which puts us to sleep.
Get plenty of exercise, but not right before bed. (Unless you're weird like me - exercise right before bed just puts me to sleep)
Another suggestion that might work is to relax your body, consciously, one area at a time, starting from your feet. You think about the ball of your left foot and relax it, then the ball of your right foot, then the arch of your left foot, etc. You have to concentrate (pretty hard) on what you are doing
Sex *grin* by yourself or with an SO, it produces a nice soporific chemical, which does a nice job of putting you to sleep.
