I Just Cannot Seem to Win

oh, same thing here, I felt really sleepy at times I'm working online but the moment I get myself off to bed it takes hours for me to fall asleep,really wide awake..

I get that way too. I am the mother of a medically fragile son so I don't sleep well at night anyway. I have to keep an eye on his breathing and such but that just makes the day more work and makes me more tired so I'm falling a sleep at the keyboard.

Have you tried using melatonin? If you go to bed and can't sleep then take one. They are natural. Also a couple of calcium tablets may do the trick. If you like cherries eat some before bed. If you are tired during the day be sure what you are eating is good. Protein and such is good energy food. I have two family members with issues. And, I have sleeping issues. I seem to go in a cycle. Sleep for four or five hours and then I am awake for awhile This goes on for a few days then I got to sleep soon after dinner and wake up really early and can't go back to sleep. It's crazy!

It sounds as if you really need a good night's sleep. I sleep now with my television on as it soothes me to sleep.

Darn this trying to sleep or stay awake business sometimes! I just can't stay up anymore to be on the computer - my body won't let me. And for some reason I'm waking up at 5am lately - too early for me - but I'm wide awake! Darnit!

It seems that you tend to sleep in front of computer than in bed. I would usually fall asleep in front of my laptop while working. With several years of working online, I already adjusted to having a few hours of sleep in a day. Maintaining two jobs , online and offline is kinda hard but needed.

That happens to me, too. I feel sleepy early in the evening and by the time I am in bed, I am past my sleep and feeling wide awake.

I know that feeling. I get tired and then when I get up to go to bed, I cannot seem to fall asleep. But other times I just fall right out. I know I haven't been eating right the last few days and I have been sleeping way too much.

pls get to sleep and dont think about too many stuff,have some milk or banana before sleeping,it will help:)

I have simply given in to the fact that I find it hard to sleep. In my bedroom I have a tv so no matter what the time if I can't sleep I turn it on and get out my laptop and do some work.

Doesn't matter. You take rest whenever you feel like and work when you are wide awake. Actually am too a bit of your type. When people are awake, I sleep and I wake up when everyone are in their dreams.
