I have made three attempts at going to sleep, and I just can't. My mind is just racing, I have so many things going on in my head. Life can be so stressful.
Any recommendations on how to get some ZZZZ's?
I have been down in the valley most of the day, cooked dinner, but really did not eat much, now I just can't get to sleep. I know my problems will be waiting for me in the morning, but I just want to go to sleep to block everything out.
Any suggestions?

I really have a good idea!! I'd suggest you to take out a history text book and read it. I bet u'll have a sound sleep. He he he :P just kidding. Just close your eyes,relax and count from 1 to 100. Trust me u'll sleep off. Have tried it many times. It really works :) Happy sleeping!! Don't worry things are going to be fine :) Take care

Instead of trying to block the thoughts why dont you try and organize them just like one reponse said writing them down or making a mental note of them in an aranged order and then when you feel like you have them all sorted out though you actually just arranged them you will feel much relaxed..It helps me and sometimes I speak my thoughts aloud or discuss them with my mother and I feel much relaxed..
have a nice day

Thank you so much for responding, I think I will try one more time, this time I will not get up, I will stay in bed until I do fall asleep.

hi sudalunts...sometimes i will watch a little tv to unwind. but not everyone can unwind like that. sometimes listening to music at a low level while you lie in bed with eyes closed. then sometimes i force myself to lie still with eyes closed even though i feel wide awake and keep forcing my self to be still and then Zzzzzs. hope you have sweet dreams in fluffy clouds.
