Answers:
It sounds like you have insomnia which usually is a symptom of some underlying mental disorder. You should see a doctor is this problem persists. Until then try taking a hot bath or shower before you to bed. Drink sleepy time tea and just make your bedtime ritual very slow and relaxing. If your mind is racing you should write down your thoughts and feelings of your day or things you need to do. Good luck :)

Other Answers:
get lunesta or ambien or soemhing from your doctor, if you dont want to use medications get somes ear plugs and a sleeping mask it helps too

I've been, still there I suppose. The only things that help me (you can get this a Walgreen's) is calm fortes, and melation. Use to try alchol but that didn't work for long.

Sometimes you get to a point where you are so overtired you can't sleep. Your body is in high gear for so long that you can't kick off the switch. I've been there done that. I work three 14 hour days, and on those nights I can't sleep, especially when I know I gotta be up at 5am again. You might wanna cut down on the hours at work, it's killin ya. I know that feeling.

I take Nyquil for sleep. The only thing that works for me.

i also have trouble sleeping & i know it sounds a bit silly but you need to relax your mind as well as your body before trying to go to bed. what helps mellow me out a little is a warm bath using lavender & camomille baby bath ( $1.00 @ walmart) and lighting candles so that you don't have all the harsh lighting and listening to my favorite music at a softer level than normal. then a couple of tylanol pm's and most nights i get at least 6 hrs. if you still can't sleep you should call a doctor

find out the cause first. working too hard and getting exhausted or very tired makes it difficult for a person to fall asleep. good luck
