How can I deal with my sleeping disorder on my own?
Question by apple picking: How can I deal with my sleeping disorder on my own?
I don’t want to take medicine for it, but it is really taking a toll on me. I’m always so tired, I am always stressed out and irritable. I get so bored, my mom is always screaming at me for being up, and it is going to start affecting my grade in trig.
Nothing will seem to get me to sleep when I am supposed to be sleeping.

Talk to your dr
Go to sleep.
If that doesn’t work see a doctor.
I have the same problem. I actually went to the doctors yesterday and he prescribed me Elavil. He told me it would help me sleep and reduce my migraine headaches. The olny thing it did was scare the sh*t outta me when it put me into a seizure. I will never take anything again. I would rather be exhausted all day!
There is a lot of things you can do to force yourself to sleep, but that may not be the answer you need.
herbs, milk, exercise etc are great ways of making yourself tireder or more relaxed and ready to sleep, but many of the things we do day to day prevent us from getting healthy sleep.
It sounds like your setting up a schedule that prevents you from getting normal sleep. (“my mom is always screaming at me for being up”) you need to set up a schedule. At a certain time, 9 hours away from when you have to be out of the house for school, you go to bed, you may have to lay there for a few nights before your body gets the message, but you can do it, your screwed up sleep schedule wasn’t something you were born with, you can change it if you wish to. But don’t just do it for one night and expect it to magically change, it is going to take you a while to condition your mind and body to sleep on a schedule you prescribe.
Stay away from drugs and alcohol, they can knock you out, but you aren’t getting the best sleep with those and they make up whole new problems to deal with.
Could you have insomnia?
I’ve been one of those who didn’t get much sleep at night and drove my car during rush hour. Guess what? Many people like me are sleep deprived and drive while passing out sometimes behind the wheel. Sometimes you see them weaving back and forth on the highway. I was like that and thank God I didn’t get into any accidents.
Much of what we need to change is the bad habits that really hurt us and our health. I sleep at the same time every night, I don’t watch TV and I make sure I get at least 6 hours of sleep. Some others may need more sleep than me. However, when one of my kids wake me up in the middle of the night, I do get right back to sleep, but the interruption is felt in the morning.
Why don’t you take this questionaire and it may help you out.

I think you may have to take the medicine, but if you do and it didn’t help you talk to your doctor about it. also one of the guys suggested a schedule to train yourself to get to sleep, even by force. it takes a lot of work. I try listen to something relaxing and practice self massages if I were you or you may want to try hard core work outs before going to your scheduled bed time. try to make sure you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep and if you do don’t over sleep
