Can't Sleep At Night

Hello Habbox!
So I wouldn't be surprised if this hasn't already been posted in the past before.
Lately I have not been able to sleep at night. It happens frequently and I would end up not being able to sleep until a ridiculous times of something like 6am. I tried to think what is causing it as I am not worried about anything nor have anything on my mind. Guess my bed hates me xD!

So the real questions is...
Do you find it easy to sleep at night and just go out like a light or do you find it hard to fall asleep.
Random question but I suppose I am a creepy guy who likes to know everything about all of you!
Muahahah!
No I am kidding.

Anyhow I'd like to know! Thanks :)

insomnia br0. My sleeping habits personally are jacked. I either fall asleep super early, then wake up super early. Or I go to bed super later and wake up super late.

I've got tea and toast right now. Hoping that helps... Although maybe I should have subbed the tea for milk. Meh.

i drop off really quickly once i'm comfortable and warm in bed

i usually find that watching films or stuff on youtube helps me sleep though

No, even when I have avoided all the stuff ur meant to - like dont eat right before bed, dont watch tv/use electronics, dont do anything physically strenuous etc. - i still find it so hard and i just give up tbqfh.

Pretty much what Joe just said here to a certain extent. Perhaps try listening to some suitable music?

I sometimes have trouble but I've been sleeping earlier than I used to (atm been sleeping around now but used to sleep 4am+)

years and years ago I used to read each night and that made me tired as hell even after a few pages so maybe try that

What helps me sleep is making a list of things that I need to do in my head. Because usually what keeps me awake is trying to think of everything that I'm going to be doing the following day.

Not going to lie- counting sheep really does work. You have to concentrate on the sheep. If you think something other than one sheep, two sheep, three sheep, you have to go back to one. When I get really focused, I can't make it past 20.
I suffered from insomnia. Most nights I wouldn't even have sleep. Took medication, changed eating habits- nothing seemed to work, until after university.

Sleeping has always been my enemy up up until about a year ago. I legit tried everything, herbal teas (made me feel sick, don't recommend them lmao), sleep tablets, this spray thing that had alcohol in it, these little white pellet things, and the list goes on. It happened when I started high school and it took me ages to work on getting rid of it. I almost got in to a habit of not sleeping well. Even now, if I have something happening that week I tend to over think when I'm in bed and then I just lie there thinking about so many things. I also thought there was a problem with my bed at one point, then my pillow but nope, it still happened. It all about your mind and how it plays tricks on you lol.

Even now though, I can go for days at a time without a decent night sleep because I wake up so many times (or maybe thats the insane heat over here), I can't even get to sleep and yeah, it's a real pain. I get like 9 hours sleep a night and I am the most tired out of all my mates (and some of them get like 2 hours sleep a night). I think it's that I'm growing. Listening to music can sometimes help, not screamo music or something with a heavy beat though. Drinking something warm helps too. Being on screens really late and eating just before you go to bed is apparently a bad idea though.

I've tried loads of things and with me it's just touch and go. I'll have good nights and bad nights, although I have improved a hell of a lot since my problem first started.

Hope you find something that works for you! Sorry for the rushed reply too haha

and omg when you decide to go to bed really early and then end up lying there for like 5 hours and go to bed later than normal. THATS THE WORST THING EVER :@

Not sure if you want advice on how to be more likely to get to sleep or if you want our own stories on sleep troubles.

Anyway, I used to have terrible trouble sleeping but it was entirely my own fault. Used to stay up with a certain @Hayden; or @:Cerys; until the early hours of the morning and I'd still get up at 6:30 for school. My attendance dropped quite a bit because of it too :( But then I started wanting to change my sleeping pattern because it was driving me mad (literally too).

I started making sure I got out at least once a day for some fresh air, I forced myself to get up at 11am at the earliest so it would be easier to sleep earlier the next night, I would read from 22:00 to 22:45 to relax, take a shower before bed so I was warm and sometimes I'd use a hot water bottle as well.

These things really helped but recently I've started waking up during the night and just not being able to get back to sleep again, but that's for different reasons entirely and has absolutely nothing to do with sleeping problems as such :P

Also I suggest you don't immediately jump to the conclusion that it's insomnia. I know you say you are lying awake at night so this doesn't exactly apply to you but insomnia is where you struggle to get to sleep or to stay asleep even though you've given yourself a decent opportunity to. A lot of people decide to self diagnose themselves with insomnia when actually it's because they're staying up online until 3am.. That's hardly insomnia :P
