Every now and then I will go through a phase like that, where I can't fall asleep at all, and it persists for several days in a row like what you are experiencing now. I don't know why this happens, as it seems to be completely random.

@amandajay I think my problem when these episodes happen is that I seem to perpetuate the problem by drinking massive amounts of coffee...which then keep from getting any sleep whatsoever.

I know how you feel but for me it has not been 4 days but for a very long time. Sometimes I fall asleep if I am very tired. I have tried many things and they do not work.

Try not to stress about it. Eventually you will be tired enough to sleep. I'm up all night every night.

@amandajay Do you have too many things on your mind? Do you run things over and over in your head when you should be sleeping?

Drink warm milk before you go to bed, milk will calm you and you will fall asleep

I have nights like that, but never more than one or two. I do better if I avoid caffeine in the afternoon, get up and get sunshine first thing in the morning, and get off my computer/tablet/phone about an hour before bed and read and listen to calming music. I also make sure I eat a small snack. Not fool proof, but helpful.

Have you ever had this lack of sleep issue before, Ama, or is this something new for you?

Don't force yourself to sleep rather try to relax until you doze off. Listen to mellow music, daydream.

It's because you have stress and you are thinking so much. You must try to exercise maybe that will help.
