Why can't I sleep?

Question

In the past 24 hours I've slept for 3 maybe 3.5 hours total. It's almost 11:30 pm and I have to work at 7 am, so I have to be awake by no later than 5:30 am. I'm completely exhausted but it's like my body just can't relax or go to bed. I don't get it. I don't wanna try and take anything like melatonin cuz I'm afraid that'll just make me even more tired and I won't be able to get up for work. HELLP.

Answer

Melatonin won't make you more tired it just helps you get to sleep. It just gives your brain a small boost of what it produces anyways to help reset your circadian rhythm and cue your body to sleep unlike zzzquil or that other stuff that drugs you to sleep. 
Shift workers often use it to switch back to days from nights. Also get off your phone because the light will be keeping your brain awake. Get up, stretch a little in a dim lit room and come back to bed. Make sure the room is dark too. Just some tips that help me
