I used to be really proud of my sleeping, as I could sleep very well. But now, when I go to sleep, this happens:
I put a timer to my T.V. for 30 minutes and try to go to sleep. When the T.V. shuts off, I try to sleep for some 5-10 minutes but fail. I put the T.V. and the timer on again. Again the same thing happens.
It goes on for 5-6 times when I finally can sleep. I try to go to sleep since 12 A.M. and finally go to sleep at about 3 A.M. in the morning.
Can it be developing insomnia or just due to stress? I've heard insomnia is suffered by some who can't sleep from the start, but as I said, I could sleep really well before.

Hello boyuancy, I think you need to take the TV out of your bedroom. Strictly no TV two hours before your bedtime, I read somewhere that watching TV before bedtime acts as a stimulant and prevents you from relaxing to a level where you feel sleepy naturally. Try not to watch TV, instead read something light and funny and see if it works. Also, eating the right diet helps too.

Take a bath before you to bed to sleep then read some paperbacks.
I used to have insomnia before when i was in college,doctor told me to not rush into sleep because that will just give me headache.He told me to always read when i am in bed preparing to sleep.
Reading is the fastest way to make us fall asleep when milk or taking a bath is not working anymore.

I was there in your last discussion so I was thinking it might be both. SOmetimes it can also be like that because your body clock has already changed. You used to sleep late so this might be the reason. We both suffer the same. Even if I try to sleep early I would just lie there with eyes shut but mind's still awake.

Dear Boyuancy...
Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia.
I wish you did not take any tea or coffee after 7 pm.
Those 2 drinks can make your eyes open all night.
Maybe you should try to drink Hot Chocolate Milk at about 8pm or 9pm.
The Milk can help your body to be relaxed and you can sleep easily.
Or maybe you have lots of thing in your mind?
It can make you awaken too all night long.
Some sickness can make you hard to sleep as well.
If the Hot Choco Milk could not help, maybe you can visit a doctor.
Wish you can sleep well again today...
