I've been up since 9:00 PM yesterday, it's now 11:34 AM. I want to go to sleep. I didn't drink any energy drinks or have any caffiene at all yesterday, my mind and body just won't shut down. Anyone can recommend me a method to put myself to sleep?

Isn't that only 14 hours, unless you meant two days prior?

14 hours

Oh, well 14 hours isn't something to worry about. I sometimes stay awake for about 20 hours, others have stayed up longer. I'd suggest staying up the rest of the day and then try to sleep at night, unless you work nights or something.

If you have to sleep now, then sleeping pills may work, but the over-the-counter ones didn't work for me.

did you play to many video games?if i didnt do anything apart from playing VGs i usually cant fall asleep happens to me. I read a book,it helps me fall asleep,but instead of thinking your tired,you must actually finish it until you cant open your eyes anymore. Working out in the middle of the night (lol),taking another shower might help.

One "method" my mom taught me that I try to practice when I am having a very very hard time to sleep, it happens rarely but sometimes it do happen. Is get comfortable, relax and think slowly

"I'm relaxing my eyes..."
few seconds later,
"I'm relaxing my jaw"
"" my chest etc down to your toes, probably a wise idea to skip the crotch tho.

focus on the areas for about ten seconds while thinking the thoughts and keep going then restart, and repeat this over and over. Everytime you start derailing your thought, just immediately go to the next one, and think "Now I am relaxing *body part*" and concentrate on relaxing it.



... Sometimes it helps, sometimes it don't.

Yeah, I've always been curious - do people film those as evidence in case their order got screwed up or is it just an odd form of philanthropy? Anyway, link very much related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrdHe__tt3U

Playing Left 4 Dead should put any one to sleep... therefore I conclude you have a serious condition and should seek medical attention.

Barring sex, or the effects of powerful and potentially dangerous drugs, you can't beat simple meditaion. Beyond that, if you want to actually get good sleep on a regular basis, you have to sleep around the same time if you can, not sleep during the day (except brief naps), etc. If you want to pull all-nighters, go for it, but it comes with a cost.

do not start taking sleeping pills, its a habot you dont wanna get into excercise throughout the day at some point for atleast 20 mins. also drink a cup of chamomile tea a half hour before bed, its been scientifically proven to help you fall asleep and reduce anxiety

Relax and go watch a really boring TV show or you could always take some sleeping pills if you really can't sleep but I would try to go watch TV first it normally works for me.

I know it is the opposite for a lot of people, but if I can't sleep I get up and exercise for a short while, and then I have no trouble falling asleep.

You could try singing while on lying on your bed? Or play/touch with your hair while lying on your bed or make someone play with it. Kinda like a caress maneuver.
