I am so tired but can not sleep

I usually get like that if I have alot to do that week and am trying to figure out when i am going to get everything done in time. This is when I lay in bed thinking about what I need to do and then I can't sleep. I should just get up and do something, but I think I need sleep so try to sleep. It is a vicious cycle:) When it is storming, I love to sleep. The sound of storms are very relaxing to me and I can sleep right threw them.

insomnia hits people who are physically and mentally stress. hormonal imbalance may also be a cause of it. just take a lot of rest and free your mind and body from not so good thoughts. give time to yourself for relaxation, it will do you wonders.

I know that feeling you are so tired but you cant fall asleep. Sometimes that happens to me when Ive gone more then 24 hours without sleeping. I feel so tired the next night but I cant fall asleep. But I think the best thing to do is dont think about it get up from bed and grab a warm glass of milk or go on the computer untill you get tired I know that helps me a lot.

Well i too experienced it yesterday, nothing to do with any kind of storms or anything. It was just the result of excess posting here on mylot ,Yesterday i posted for around 8 - 10 hours and my whole body was sore. i was hungry but did not have that energy to go to the kitchen and fetch something and to top it all when i hit the bed i just could not sleep and was tossing myself this way and that in search of some sleep.

I had it last night, was wide awake til after 6am. Then today I slept for 4 hours....I think I'm now pretty much nocternal lol.

Yeah I know what you mean. What usually happens to me is when I'm anxious for whatever reason it is I have a hard time falling asleep even when in drained out. I guess a nice shot of whiskey or brandy does the job at least with me.
