i think i have a sleeping disorder. eversince gradeschool i'm having trouble sleeping and it worsens as i grow old. i try to sleep but like now i've been lying down for 4 hours but i'm still wide awake so i just decided to turn on the computer and started a discussion about it here. there had been times when i was awake for more than 24 hours! i know i'm not the only one who has this problem. for those people, how do you cope with it? what do you do to get some sleep?!

I use to suffer from a sleeping disorder.One thing you can do is cut out your sugar intake after 7:00 pm. adon't take your shower right before bed,it will only wake your body up.Take it early so when you wind down you can get right into bed.Try taking your shower at 7:00 or 7:30.Drink strictly water until bed time.When you go to bed,don't watch the television.Turn off all lights.This should help.Please let me know if it helps you.It helped me.

It's very normal to have phases like that. I get those from time to time, very anoying but it'll pass. However it sounds like you've had this for quite some time now right? Maybe you should talk to your doctor about it...

yeah but back then it wasn't like this. just recently, there was this one time when it had been more than 24 hours but i was still awake and it was really hard. it was like, almost 27 hours! i guess you're right that i should consult a doctor about it...thanx!
