For the past nights I have trouble sleeping. I badly needed to sleep early so I could wake up energize and early the next day. I put myself to sleep at 9 in the evening, but it seems my brain can't seem to stop thinking. 10 came, 11 came, midnight came and nothing happened. It is just me, closing my eyes, in a prone position. I have tried drinking my milk, taken a shower, read a book etc. It is really hard to beat my body clock, so I need to train myself a new one. I hope I will be able to sleep now, I hope it should be in a little while. Update: Its 5:40 in the morning of February 19 2022. Another episode of sleepiness and tiredness but I am having trouble of getting some sleep. I need to have a restful sleep but morning is here already and I haven't got the chance.

I'm sorry you had a hard time getting to sleep. I hope you can sleep when you go to bed.

Try making your last meal for the day a very light one.Having some Quaker oats in the evening should help too.

I will try this, but I might wake up in the middle of the night hungry.

@kixsh101 That happens to me - that is why my breakfast is the biggest meal for the day - and l have all day to work off the calories. If l wake up in the night, l have some water and go back to sleep.

I hope that you were able to get some sleep. There are times when I have trouble getting to sleep, too.

It is awful when we sleep badly, I always feel tired during the day when that happens. Hope you sleep better this night.
