Do you often can't fall asleep late at night?

I have always had a very good sleep. Recently however I have had trouble sleeping even when I am really tired. The reason for this is stress. Someone hurt me alot and i cant stop thinking about it so even though I may be exhausted physically my mind cant seem to swith off. All i seem to be doing is thinking about my troubles. I cant really help it. My eyes might be closed and i may be in bed but the mind hasnt switched off it wants to keep thinking and its hard to control. i dont think sleeping tablets are the answer but i dont really know. The best thing to do is to resolve the reason behind not sleeping. you have to find the cause and eliminate that and then hopefully you will sleep well. there is nothing better than peace of mind. i always had that before hopefully i can get it again but i know it is going to take some time to get over the pain and the hurt!!!

Oh Yes, That is me. So I would have to say the study would have to fairly accurate. I am finding that playing a nature sounds cd and trying to consiously stop any thoughts that come to mind and keep focused on the nature sounds.

I'm also one of those who can't sleep in the night. I sleep very late almost every night. Exercise is not effective for me, as the more I do the more awake I am. Listen to soft music does help sometime. But sometimes I feel even worse that the music drags my attention and makes me awake. For me, I think sleeping pill is the most effective but it is bad if you take it too often. So, what I'll do is to sleep only when I feel sleepy. Normally, I'll watch movies, surf internet or play computer games before I go to sleep. By doing those things will make me feel tired and sleepy after a while. So, I can sleep well after that.
