Sleepy but can't sleep

That is the absolute worst feeling in the world, especially when you have to get up in the morning.

hi there. I do get to relate on your post because this just happens to me all the time. but the best thing to do for me is turn the tv on because i always fall asleep when I watch tv. it just makes me sleepy.

I read...or count that takes my mind off what is bothering me or keeping me awake...sometimes I only need to read for about 5 minutes and it's lights out!

I usually sleep late and when it happens that I'm sleepy but can't sleep, I just lay on the bed and try to doze off. That time, I would be too sleepy to be doing anything else so I just lie down. I'll close my eyes and try not to think of anything. Sometimes, I get rested just even by lying on bed with my eyes closed although it's not the same as a real sleep. Within 30 minutes to an hour, I do get to sleep anyway. The worst would be 2 hours but there were only a few times that happened to me in my life. Hope you get a good sleep tonight.

My time to go to bed is fixed at 11pm, i take shower at 9pm, perform my puja next eat my supper, watch tv , after that i go to bed, i sleep like a log and getup at 5am always.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

It also happens to me. Well, whenever i could not sleep, i drink hot tea or hot chocolate or milk, when i know i'm half done browsing the internet. And maybe in 10-15mins. I will feel sleepy and when that time comes, i will go and sleep. That works for me.

i get over tired quite easily due to health issues and often find i am like that. i either read, just lay there or take something to help me sleep.

I am very easy to sleep. So If I was sleepy, I can go straight to bed without having to do anything. You may be able to drink something warm, so that makes you uncomfortable, or maybe your stomach is not quite full, so you have trouble sleeping.

hello, Yeah, I do experience this but all I do is to read and when I find myself sleepy I stop it that is the usual thing I do or if the worst i couldnt really sleep I open again my computer and answer all the post here in mylot so that I can earn while I am awake and my hard work really worth it. ha ha good luck

This happens to me a lot. Usually when I skip my usual sleeping hours. I get really tired but somehow can't sleep. Then I just start thinking of random stuffs and of the past and all. Nothing so special. And hey welcome to mylot. Happy mylotting!!

hhmmmm... sometimes i write poems and end up sleeping with a pen and a notebook beside me. often it's at night time when my brain works. haha i know it's weird, my those poems i write in the evening are way better than those that i write at morn.. :)
