I have been extremely tired this whole week... and very busy with school and my daughter. I have been wearing myself out, but for the life of me, I cannot sleep. I have times when I know if I layed down, I would pass out. I can never go to sleep at those times though, because my daughter is awake. By the time she goes to bed, I have to do my homework (can't do it when she is awake). When I finally finish everything, I just can't go to sleep. It is driving me insane!! I want to sleep!

lol insomnia does suck. Sometimes you can just be too tired to sleep. It sounds funny, but it's true lol.

Yes, insomnia does suck. There are at least a few "home" remedies you can try though. There's the old standby of warm milk ... blech! I'd imagine that drinking a shot of your favorite liquor might help out. This is an odd one but has worked for me a few times on those rare occasions when I can't sleep ... a dose of Nyquil. There are also plenty of over the counter sleep aids, although I've never used them so can't attest to their effectiveness. I've heard a lot of people say that having a radio or television on helps them sleep although that would never work for me. Also, reading a book in bed tends to knock a lot of people right out ... as long as it's not too terribly interesting of course.

Good luck and get some rest.

I have mild insomnia. It actually helps, because I have more time to study.

Hot cocoa with a wee bit of Jack Daniels? Okay, warm Jack Daniels with a little bit of cocoa.

Drop the Jack Daniels and make it rum. The cocoa's important though - it gives you that warm milk (that has some chemical component that's good for sleep.

I'm an insomniac. This has never worked for me either - but at least I smile a lot when I'm not sleeping... Wink

Insomnia is no fun, I know. Take every opportunity you can during the day to rest. Insomnia often arises out of stress, so take a deep breath and relax.

You could also try sleeping pills, but I don't really think those are a good idea.

I'm scared of sleeping pills after I heard about people who drove while they were asleep after taking them. Shocked

What kind of an idiot would try to drive after taking sleeping pills?

But I agree that they're dangerous. They can keep you drowsy even after you wake up, and that's not a good thing.
