Somebody please help me, I can't take this anymore.

I got the same problem basically trying to get to sleep i'm always engerized it seems and can not really close my eyes and just lay there. Try sleeping pills though that helps me when I really want to get some rest~

Do what shinto and vollstrecker said. It works the best.

well, i had this problem in the summer and since school is gonna start soon i go to sleep east because theres nothing on my mind except school...and you know school, i just say FUCK YOU and i go to bed

For me to sleep I need:

1) Cold. 75 degrees or less.
2) Air. I have a ceiling fan.
3) A night light. Can't sleep in the dark, and my super case modded computer does the job nicely.
4) Some sort of constant light noise. Again, my computer's 10 fans do this nicely.

I agree with these. I sometimes have trouble sleeping if my computer isn't on

But ... if you're active during the day, especially swimming for me, you drop like a rock.

That is true, just get out and stuff, and you'll sleep fine

I like it cold in my room. I have air conditioner in my room set on 60-65 and I curl up under my blankets.

Yup, since I've started running in the morning and be more active throughout the day it's easy for me to fall asleep, I usually goto bed at 23:00-0:00, fall asleep somewhere inbetween and then wake up at 8:00. I dont even need a alarm clock anymore, I just automatically wake up around that time.

tips:
-Dont stay in bed too long if your awake.
-Dont go and sleep on an empty stomach, but also dont eat to much before going to sleep.
-Sleep and wake up at regular times.
-Dont smoke, nicotine gives an effect that keeps you more awake.
-Dont drink too much before going to sleep because you may need to get out to pee.
-Pee before you goto sleep.
-Dont drink anything with caffeine before going to sleep.(cola, coffee and stuff)
-Go easy on sleeping pills if you may need them.

Yeah you guys all give great tips. I just got to try them out one day. If only I was so lucky as to have my main computer in my room, I would leave her purring all night. I have the problem that my mind never SHUTS THE FUNK UP! Its always thinking. I think I need to do some of that crazy Yoga - Tai Chi - Magic stuff to get my mind quiet. I tried to walk on my tredmill for 30 minutes while watching TV. Then I did two sets of 50 crunchs, and then 50 push-ups. The only reason it didn't work was because me mind was like 500 mph. I will try to stay up all night without the parents going >:O Thx people, you guys deserve medals and trophies for your advice to us less-knowledge people.

with ladder reset this happened:

day1: get out of my bed at 6.30am
day1-2: no sleep (reset was at 2.30am here)
day2: not tired at all
day2-3: went to bed at 1.50am and still only passed out around 3-4am
(the times are pretty correct, i wrote most of them down out of boredom)

next step: 1 week without sleep -.-
longest i ever had without sleep must have been...80-90 hours ?
