Can You Force Yourself to Sleep

I haven't gotten sufficient sleep for three straight days. Plus the hot weather is making me feel lethargic. Last Tuesday, after coming back from the language center, I felt dizzy that I almost threw up. I didn't not know if it was due to the anti-biotic or hot weather. I tried to catch some sleep but I couldn't. Today, I felt dizzy again. I laid down but I couldn't sleep. After eating lunch, this time with rice coz I have been cutting down on rice, I tried to snooze but I just couldn't.

Maybe try taking a sleeping pill? Benadryl helps alot. Within minutes you get tired and sleep.

Same with me as well. It’s been 4 straight days for me having a hard time to sleep. If I sleep only an hour then wake up again. As for me, since I’m sick. It’s one of the normal. But for you. I think you should consult it to a professional. My say about this.

No, I cannot force myself to sleep. If I am not sleepy I cannot take a nap or sleep.

@Iam_jauntyjen That is not good. Do you know why you got dizzy? I have had a hard time trying to fall asleep for a long time and toss and turn and get up to go to the bathroom or do things if cannot sleep. I cannot force myself to sleep.

No. Sleep can't be forced. If I am forcing myself to sleep I can't sleep at all.
