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.

The first step is to modify the topic .....it should be spelt "Falling".... Having pointed that out, I'm sure you will be fine. Cheers

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.

No. He does actually have insomnia. Insomnia is simply inability to fall asleep or poor quality sleep. It is a symptom just like fever. Primary Insomnia on the other hand is a diagnosis in that you are saying that you have excluded all causes of insomnia such as the one you are trying to suggest.

Hyperactivity, poor sleep hygiene, stimulant drinks such as Coffee, Tea and even the fizzy drinks, late night exercise, aches and pains, depression, mania , anxiety and loads of physical illnesses do cause insomnia.

Alcohol paradoxically also is a culprit.
Check which applies to you
Well the OP didn't give enough information to conclude that. What is your definition of a "Quality sleep"? Some people can sleep for just 3 hours and still feel perfectly fine when they wake up, like it is the best sleep of their life. Condition varies from people to people. Some of us normal time of sleeping is passed 12am right from when we kids. We are used to it, it isn't Insomnia.

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

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.

[size=15pt]first, get good sleep hygiene, this means no tv in your room, no radio, no laptop, no phone on in the room. dont use your bedroom for anything except sleep time. go to the bedroom only when it's time to sleep. make your bed very well and avoid it until it's bedtime. use your bed only for sleep or sex. avoid afternoon naps (siesta or whatever you call it), avoid resting in the afternoon and avoid your bedroom and your bed in the afternoon. dont read in bed (bed only for sex and sleep, and if you use it for sex, get out immediately after sex) then when it's time to sleep at night, go to bed, lie quietly, no phone, no phone, no phone, no phone o, no phone call, no text, no nairaland, etc.

if this doesnt work, try ,melatonin.

if these don't work, go village go ask questions grin

or blame Buhari cheesy[/size]

i kinda ve similar issue too. Find it difficult to sleep wen i lay on d bed. But d difference is dat wen i eventually sleep, i sleep deep nd would probably wake late d next day. Try playin blues, jazz, instrumental songs like yanni wit earpiece. Not al yanni songs o. Cuz some are noisy to me. Tune d volume so low u cant really hear d voice clearly but u can hear d beat... It helps.... For those tellin u to exercise, u can do dat in d morning or something. But dont try it in d evening. Or nite cuz ur eyes go clear pass cat own.
Re: Help: I Am Having Diffculty Fallen Asleep by greggng: 11:29pm On May 01, 2016
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

3hours of sleep ti pe gan oooo when we dey sneek go watch channels night movies and mitv wrestling then go to bed fully around 2am and must be awake by 5am for morning devotion... now that internet don join, mehn sleeping for 3 hours is just too long

@op, since taking weed has been the best advice so far, i would never reccomend it. I reccomend u to make good use of this very rare beautiful gift of life to think of ways of enriching people around you by writing (journals, novels, etc)

Weed is the solution to insomnia.
That's why USA is the best and wisest country in the world, they legalized it because they know the benefits of it.

If you smoke one wrap of weed, all you will do is sit there, think about what happened 100 years ago, the next thing you know, you're deep in sleep
