I’m only 16, I’m tired all the time but I can’t sleep. My doctor prescribed rozerem 8 mg and I took one pill the last two nights and it didn’t work. Then last night I took 2 and it’s now 5:30 am and I’m still awake. I’ve tried everything to fall asleep. I’ve listened to relaxation things, tried deep breathing, and I don’t like tea.

What can I do?
I’ve tried thinking of nothing, for a long, long time. lol

and watching movies and reading books used to put me to sleep but now they leave me wide awake.

The only time I fall asleep quickly (for me that’s about 30-45 min) is if I had a totally hard day at soccer and I’m wiped. But I really don’t want to have to exercise every time I want to sleep.
I can’t really go to school like this. So it’s a big problem.

I’ve been trying to go but I’m so tired that I feel sick and dizzy all the time and I can’t even speak right.

Maybe I just need better pills.

I’m only 12 and I only have 1 week left of summer vacation. And I’m well aware of what insomnia is.
I’ve had it since I was 8 but it usually only happens during spring-summer. I fall asleep at about 3:30 – 4:00am. I’m worried that if I’m not cured soon it’ll mess with my grades in school!

I’ve tried reading books, listening to music, making my room as dark as possible, etc..etc… but nothings working! Please Help!
I’ve been trying to sleep earlier, like around 11:00pm, but I can’t do it. It hasn’t been that bad since it’s still summer and I can wake up at about 12:00pm, but once school starts again I’ll have to wake up at 7:00am. which is less than 5h of sleep!

I’m a chronic insomniac and have been working with my DR. on the problem for the past 8 years. Any ideas on what can help. Here’s what hasn’t. Gave up caffine, bedroom used for sleeping only (no tv), regular exercise, routine bedtime rituals, not eating after a certain hour, hot bath 90 min before bed time. Making my bed the most comfortable place I know. Hypnosis (cured my smoking habit so I thought I’d try). Fan on in bedroom to drown out noises that could wake me up when I do fall asleep, aroma therapy, calming music, and reading books. OTC’s like including tylonol pm, and Nyquil. (works for a coupled days then doesn’t) RX such as Lunesta, Ambien and Rozerem (to mention a few) all with no results. The only thing that gives relief at all is Xanex, but it’s controlled and after 5 years on it, my tolerance is very high and it’s not working well anymore. Any suggestions? I need to get some sleep! Thanks
**oh, and I forgot to mention all the herbal products I tried. Please help.
I asked the dr about a sleep study, but she says it’s not sleep apnea, so it wouldn’t help. I asked for other benzos and she says I’ll have the same tolerance. I’m on both an antidepressant and an antihistamine, neither of which helped. Some great answers though. As for the pot, if it could be prescribed I absolutely would try, but at this time, it’d cost me my career. We have manditory testing at my job. Oh yeah, I’ve done the graveyard shift too. Same issue only worse. I know it seems I have an answer for almost anything, but keep trying please. 8 years is far too many and I’m fed up. Thanks so much!!

I don’t really have any worries keeping me awake but I seem to like watching movies/reading books at night because I can’t sleep. And sometimes this affects my daily activities i.e. I feel sleepy in the daytime.
