Sleep Deprivation

Why is it so hard to fall asleep at night. I can be so tired I can't keep my eyes open yet as soon as I lay down I can't keep them closed. I know that there are sleep aid pills but I really don't want to resort to taking them. What helps you sleep at night? Should I see a doctor about it?

The same thing happens to me sometimes, but since i've had a baby, well i'm jsut always REALLY tired enough to pass right out by the time she settles in for the night lol.

I have tried almost everything, including those stinky old pills (valarian root). I am the same way..about 10 pm, I can barely sit up, but god forbid I move to get ready for bed...then I'm wide awake again. If nothing else can help you to sleep, definitely go to see a doctor.
