sleep issues?

Question

I'm 15 and I can't fall asleep unless I stay up and wear myself out. I just have to stay up on my phone or drawing or something until I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open anymore. I really hate that I can't go to sleep on my own because it causes me to stay up until like 2 or 3 every morning and I have to wake up early and have 5 hours of dance. I do have really bad anxiety, and I'm aware this is what is probably causing this. I also feel nauseous every night and it's really horrible. :( does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fall asleep faster? it's 1:00 in the morning and I'm so annoyed because I just want to sleep

Answer

Nightly nausea is sign that something is out of whack with your nervous system and or digestion.

I highly recommend getting blood tests for underlying allergies and immunology issues.

If you drink caffeine, stop that cycle.  Caffeine amps you up and depletes your adrenals.  It lasts in your system about 18 hours, so we most use it at 5 am but not later.

Chronic insomnia is a central symptom of Lyme's disease, which is actually a pretty common but highly under diagnosised condition.

Things to try for sleep if you haven't already:

No screen time or blue light of any kind after 9 pm. Read a book, sketch pad, journal, but no stimulation.

Take an Epsom salt bath in the evening when you want to wind down.  Putting s few drops of cartoons pure therapeutic grade essential oil such as avenger or marjoram can be super relaxing relieving anxiety and soreness.

Give yourself a foot massage.  Use lightly warmed up olive oil.

Okay, I have the same sort of thing, see a doctor first, learn to do muscle relaxing techniques, I've been dignose with sleep apnoea, so see a doctor see a counsellor to see why you have anxiety and ect.. And get to the bottom off it. 
It's is okay you can get threw this

Answer

It's been scientifically proven teenagers have different sleep wake cycles and their natural cycles are to go to bed after midnight and wake up around noon. Add on having anxiety and you have the perfect cocktail for insomnia. It's 5 am and I am still up. I have something called a delayed sleep cycle, I don't function like other people and light queues don't work for me. Sleeping pills don't work, melatonin doesn't work, meditation doesn't work, antianxiety meds doesn't work. There is nothing that the doctors can do for me I just don't work like other people. I have a slightly off kilter schedule too so I don't even live on a 24 hour clock. If I try to I end up sleep deprived so I live on this messed up schedule, but I gotta do what I gotta do and following what my body needs makes me feel 100 times better so I feel you school was the worst for me and I can't work a normal job so it makes life a massive pain in the ass but hey that's life lol

Answer

Lie in bed and try to relax. Even if you can't sleep just let your mind drift off to a peaceful place. 
That way you're resting even if you aren't sleeping. 
I do that when I can't sleep and often it actually helps me fall asleep

Answer

Try some warm milk or chamomile tea. Maybe herbal sleeping pills.

Answer

Sleep can be tough. I also have problems sleeping sometimes. But have you tried taking a warm bath or shower before bed? Use some kind of lavender or relaxing soap. Try reading a regular book. If you have a textbook, that might do the trick haha. I love sleepytime tea. Wal-Mart and or most stores have it. Also try to get into somewhat of a bedtime routine. Like at this time I brush my teeth, then I change clothes for bed, then I read. Whatever suits you. I hope this helps! Sending sleepy dust your way!!
