Why am I so tired but I cant go to sleep?

Question:

Answers:
The excitement, the joy and the adrenaline of recent circumstances. Take a DEEP breath slowly and let out slowly. Close your eyes and relax. If you can find someone who gives massages then that SO relaxing it makes a person sleepy-
OH wait-I GIVE MASSAGES!
Your tired for that reason of your experiences lately. You cant sleep for the fact that the life of what you've experienced still courses through your veins and soul long after your brain says "bedtime!".
Maybe hot milk, but hot Irish milk's good!
Besides-its 1am when you sent asked this i reckon-i only go to bed about 1 so its not that abnormal, maybe i infected you with my Irish sleeping pattern!!

Other Answers:
try turning the computer off!!

Over tired

Welcome to my world :-/

Because your mind is awake. You must learn to relax.. Seek some form of meditation.. You will be amazed at the difference..

I go through the same. You have to be just tired to find good sleep. I cant sleep because if I do the clowns will eat me.

Pre Occupied minds will never help in relaxing and that why u cant sleep. Try reading a book or listen to some soft music like Kenny g. this will help u to relax and go to sleep.

I have a problem with insomnia and I recently asked about it here. Check out my questions and look for the insomnia one, I had some really good suggestions about ways to get to sleep easier. :)

you answered your own question.
You are tired because you can't sleep.
maybe there is some psychological disturbance keeping you awake.
try meditating and clearing your mind, a half an hour before sleeping.
Try praying, too.

I read this book once that had this man in it who was being kept awake by beings from another dimension. Once he had lost enough sleep, he was able to see this alternate dimension, and the beings, and was able to help them avoid some terrible disaster. It was called "Insomnia", by Stephen King. insomnia, and it comes in many different forms, can be stress related or health problems, my insomnia is a health issue along with medications that can cause insomnia

drink like a hole bottle of water then close your eyes works for me

You might have something on your mind or your inner body clock is a bit off. Did you have a nightmare or did something happened to you that has your mind wanting to be awake and effecting your body?

Try either heating up some milk,drinking that and then wait until your tired enough to go back to sleep. Or drink some tea,it will help soothe you a bit,then try reading a book or an online story somewhere until your body/mind are both tired enough to sleep.

I hope this helps and good luck,good night.

Talk to your docter about that one. Try resting your mind and stop thinking about today and yesterday and tomorrow. Think about good things when you lay down. If that doesn't work maybe ask your docter about a sleep medicene like AmbienCR or Abien or Lunesta. You have too much on your mind (i.e. you're overly anxious)

As a chronic insomniac, it's hard for me to go to sleep a lot of time. Try having about a half hour of down time (no radio, tv, phone or computer) before going to bed and then take a book with you when you go and try to stay awake to keep reading. Sometimes this works so well that I don't even turn the light off. LOL If this doesn't work, try Xanax.

Yes, over tired. Here's my advice:

15 jumping jacks

a banana or a glass of milk

go to bed in a very dark room and consiously relax your whole body. start with your feel and totally relax them, then your ankles, then calfs and work your way up to the top of your head.

if you get all the way through this process and you are still not asleep, count the seconds between each breath, then try to lengthen the time between each breath to 16 seconds.
