Cant sleep

[JT-Fan]

Ive not been able to sleep much for the last 1-2 weeks, only like a few hours a night but I keep waking up and like just not being able to get to sleep no matter what I do.
Any help on what I can do, sometimes I just sit up until like 3am/4am because I cant get to sleep and then have a few hours sleep or I fall asleep and keep waking up and can't get back to sleep.
Any advice? .
AND Im going on holiday on Saturday so I really need some help! Maybe on holiday I might be able to sleep I dunno?
I dont want sleeping pills because you can get addicted to them.

See a doctor if it's bugging you too much. Perhaps they can prescribe something.

[JT-Fan]

No I dont want pills though!

What can you do, if it's affecting you that much you have no choice.

It doesnt sound to much like insomnia, insomnia is where you hardly actually sleep at all.

Before you sleep, whatever time that may be, just before you sleep, a few hours before it, take a nice hot relaxing bath, read a book, if you sleep with any electrics on, turn them off, that distracts you from sleeping, if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night, do something relaxing, put some music on, very quiet music, not rock, hard bass music but soothing music which is more than likely to be calm, if none of that works, then i suggest visiting your GP and ask for something to help, or any advise, my sister has sleeping tablets (nytol), and thats helped ALOT.

Anyway, hope that helped.

edit:
The medication my sister was given had no side effects at all, they helped her alot, medication may be the answer if it is that bad. After all, sleep is very important.

Your welcome.
The bath thing helps me alot, it relaxes your muscles ect and releases any tension aswell, well for me at least. Anyway, if none of that works, then you probably will need to see your GP, medication may be the answer, sleep is really important, you don't wanna pass out now do you?
Anyway, hope it works tonight.

Yeah maybe like a long bubble bath or something a few mins before bed should be good.

And if that doesnt work, then just count sheep ;]
I GOT UP TO 100 BEFORE!
