I HAVENT HAD ANY CAFFEINE, IVE TRIED TAKING SLEEPING PILLS, MY BLOOD SUGAR IS IN CHECK
I MADE SURE TO TRY TO GO TO BED EARLY AND MAKE MY ROOM COOL, DARK, AND QUIET

ITS LIKE IM FULLY AWAKE BUT IM SO ****ING TIRED

This reminds me of the time I drank 7 mugs of black coffee in two hours.

That didn't end well.

Go see a doctor instead of coming on a video game forum.

A glass of milk
Comfortable clothes
Keep the tv on low volume
Music low
play some video games like GTA 5,Assassin's Creed or mortal kombat in a comfy chair in a dark warm room.

One time I drank 20 cups of caffeinated tea in a whole day and I didn't sleep for like 2 days it was awful

Maybe I was asking to see if I should go to a doctor, I know I wasn't looking for an asshole remark.

1. Never works for me
2. Always
3. I don't sleep well with light at all, but I can't sleep without noise so...
4. ...I generally listen to music.
5. Games like that usually just get me excited instead of tired

If you're really having trouble getting sleep, you might need some kind of.. medical treatment idk? I would suggest you go see a doctor or something.

But since you're typing all in caps, I can't really tell.

I'm really REALLY having trouble, so yeah, since all the remedies that normally work didn't work, I'll probably go see someone when I have the time.

Welcome to the club, I'm the same way

I have trouble sleeping all the time. The only thing that helps a little bit is taking a hot shower (cry in the shower that way no one knows you've been crying), listening to music (none of that hard metal stuff) think of a calm quiet place (no not the jungle) just try to relax and not let anything bother you.
I really don't have any answers for you, just suggestions. I do hope they help you a little bit.

That doesn't explain how the video game forum part about this was a good idea. If you have to ask if you need to see a doctor, don't ask and just go see a doctor. If you didn't need to, whoop-dee-doo, you spent an hour of your life being judicious. If you did, well hey, you didn't waste time asking strangers over the internet. At least Google these things if you aren't going to go see a doctor.

You haven't slept in three days. If sleep aides aren't helping then it's probably not medical, so something's bothering you, even if you don't realize it. Try writing your thoughts in a journal when you are trying to sleep.

Dude, cool down, I don't think Greeny was serious about the help part, juts gripping. Everyone gripes on the internet about something at some time or another, no harm no foul.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to say it's pretty irresponsible if you are asking people on what is essentially the spam board of a video game forum for advice on going to a doctor. Just go see one if you are having problems.

Since I'm here though - the last time I was at the doctor, I did mention I had sleeping problems, and she said that aside from the obvious "it's probably because you've got stuff going on in your head", the pieces of advice I was given were (keeping in mind I was against taking tablets - though I honestly think you should if you haven't slept in three days):

-Do some physical activity on most days, even just going for a walk. You may not be sleeping because your body hasn't done enough in the day, and therefore, it's restless when you go to bed.

-Make sure the hour or so before you go to bed is easy going. That means no video games, no movies, no heated forum debates or crazy antics, no big purchases, no vigorous physical activity, etc. The last hour before going to bed should be filled with easy going conversations, silence, maybe tidying your room, and brushing your teeth. If you must use computers or phones during this time (maybe to chat with online friends or something), turn the screen brightness down low.

-Don't really eat anything within the last hour before you go to bed. If you do, that means your body will probably be very actively trying to break down food, and it will be GIVING you energy at a time you don't need it, especially if you eat food that's full of sugar or something. If you must eat something RIGHT before going to bed, I recommend plain cream or water crackers with nothing added - they taste well enough even when plain, but it's nothing too strong, and it's easy to break down. Also doesn't have a ton of energy in it or anything. If you need to drink something, a small glass of water or milk is good.

The topic title literally says "WHAT THE **** AM I SUPPOSED TO DO".

What sonicbrawler said, plus the fact that not being able to sleep in 72 hours is not something to take lightly.

...perhaps your body doesn't need it.

You know what I do when I feel weird or sick or stuff sometimes? I ****ing tell me friends and ask them what I should do, if I should see a doctor, or if they've been like that before so I know if they have any knowledge on helping.

If you don't like the fact she came here to ask her friends for help that why are you posting at all? Do you enjoy being a dick? Does it please you hurting others feelings?

I know it's a bit sappy and cliched, but if you don't anything nice to say then don't say anything at all, it beats being a complete and utter dick because in all honesty, you aren't contributing ANYTHING. Some people don't immediately go to the doctor, some people don't have your thought process, shocking, I know, this is S&N, if people want to post stuff like this, which they do frequently, then they are allowed to.

How is it "being a dick" to give advice? Because that's all I see. Saying "Go to the doctor instead of the spam board of a video game forum" is valid advice. Just because you don't like that advice doesn't make it bad or invalid.

oh my god can we just ****ing drop it already so I can close the topic
jesus christ i just wanted sleep tips
