OP, I'm like you. My average bedtime is 11:59 unless I had hectic day in that case I sleep early. The only non medical solution to is to watch a boring movie when ever you feel like sleeping ( that's what I do) or read a book.

I think it's common to people with high brain activity.

Bjergtrolde:


Read the post again. He would not be trying to fall asleep again if he is getting quality sleep. He would not be taking opiates or hypnotics if he was getting good sleep.

Seriously if you are getting 3 hours of refreshing sleep at such a young age, then something ain't quite right. Of course there are a few exceptions and you may well be one of them , but 3 hours at your age, ? e get as im be.

My definition of quality sleep? Refreshing sleep. If you are tired when you wake up in the morning, something is wrong

NaLaugh:
Insomnia is pretty common. However, not all cases of sleep troubles are clinical insomnia.

In many cases, the person is just not exerted enough by their daily activities. e.g a manual laborer who works from dusk till dawn will typically be asleep before he hits the sheets.

On the other hand, an inactive person who spends all day at home, perhaps browsing FB or Nairaland, with the occasional idle stroll outside might have trouble sleeping.

What is your daily routine like?

Please help,
I'm fed up, I'm having problem sleeping.
Right from my childhood days, sleeping in the aftnoon had always been impossible, not even a siesta.
At nights, its always after lying-in for about 1:15m to 1:30m before finally sleeping off and if i should get up to urinate before daybreak, my eyes will become clear; no sleep again no matter how hard i try.
Trams, Coddein, Valium5, Cenpain night, just mention it does not make me sleep, it only makes me high or intoxicate me.
Although i always feel sleepy whenever am depressed, bored, alone or in a cool breezy environment, the momment i lie down or get ready to sleep then the urge is gone.
what could be my problem.
what can i do to get over it.

greggng:
This are some of the reasons why u don't sleep. Lack of money, involved in a dirty business that took someone's life, ie 419 involving a white woman hanging herself cos you ve stolen all her life saving. You committed sin of abortion. You killed someone for rituals. You sacked you wife and she jumped into the lagoon and die etc. Solution deliverance. Church mfm or deeper life or tb joshua not tunji o aka teebillz

chimkaire:
Funny how sleeplessness would flee from him if he does this

Adek15:
ironically, mine is exactly opposite of yours. I sleep a lot. If I sleep in the night, to wake in the morning is something else. You can imagine most days I wake by 9am even if i sleep by 9pm. The worst part is if I drink bullet or nescafe, it will be as if I took sleeping drug.
Pls I need help too

security needs those that are finding it difficult to sleep at 9t so that they can keep watch

Udofire:

yes of course, no one is holding you back for that. You maybe right but at the same time wrong coz your brilliance maybe combined with something else, i mean it maybe a symptom for something.
