Why do I have trouble sleeping every night?

I have trouble if I haven't eaten enough, if I ate too much, or if I have too many thoughts. Also if I'm in physical or emotional pain, I can't sleep. When I drank wine too late in the day, it relaxed my body but my mind couldn't relax. Or maybe it was vice versa. Whatever the case, I no longer drink wine late. I prefer sleep. Oh and yesterday I had a shaved ice snow cone. I think the red dye which it has so much of, unsettled my system and I had a rough night sleep.

I have this issue all the time. I think its a factor of reasons. What your thinking about before laying down and when you lay down, if you have anything on around you (phone, tv, nook), if there is noise around you that is disturbing you (other people watching tv, talking), how you are laying and your sleep pattern :)

You have trouble sleeping every night because you may be stressed. To calm down, try listening to calming instrumentals as you fall asleep. Counting works for me, but, that doesn't work for everybody.

You may have sleep apnea, have you cconsulted a doctor before? It may be important that you do so in the near future, for your own health and wellbeing

I've found I can't sleep if I don't take the time each evening to reflect on my day, and imagine a plan for tomorrow. Usually this means turning off my laptop, tv, etc. and writing down what is worrying me in a notebook. Getting it out is therapeutic, and in the morning I glance at what I wrote and sometimes I have a solution.

There could be many reasons : Overthinking, stress or anxiety, the temperature of your room (too cold or hot), the food you ate, the time you ate, having too much energy that wasn't spent during the day, electronic things around, lights or other luminosity, etc.

Each day is different! Some days you will have done a lot of physical activity and some days you will not have. The additional activity might cause you to be able to fall asleep faster. Also, different things happen each day as well and some of them may have more of an emotional impact. Meditation is a great way to start you out on a good first step to sleeping consistently!

This may do with several things such as your diet, your bedtime routine, technology use before bed, level of activity throughout the day, unresolved personal issues or fears, or it could be a clinical condition which you may need to seek help for. There are many different creative avenues to explore in terms of finding out how to make it easier to sleep. You may just need time to find a method or routine which works for you, as every person is different.

If I watch too much television, leave the light on in my room, or if the temperature is too high then I tend to have issues sleeping.

I think it could be many different reasons... It might be some physical health problems as well as mental health problems. As far as I'm concerned, in most cases it is anxiety - you can find some useful advice in the 7 Cups of Tea anxiety support guide.

I have trouble sleeping every night because I stay up late, while I am on the internet and watching tv

I've struggled with insomnia since I was 10, finding that I was unable to sleep due to my thoughts keeping me up every night. However I've learned to cope with my sleeping habits by listening to music and taking melatonin which is a tablet that helps your body produce naturally occurring melatonin in your brain. It's basically a supplement. I've found that every person copes with sleeping abnormalities in a different way, so finding a way that is personal to you is key to forming better sleeping habits that are healthy for your mind and body.

Restless nights could be a cause of multiple reasons, such as stress from work, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and so on. If it becomes a concern then my suggestion would be to check with your doctor and get the required treatment.

Medication cause me to have trouble sleeping at nightI was diagnosed with SlE and Lupus Nephritis because of my disease I wen into coma in 2005. I did not wake up until six months later. The trouble sleeping begin than I believe it was because since I slept for so long I did not need to sleep. The doctors wanted to give me more medication to fall asleep but that was the cause of my sleep deprived so I began to drink herbal tea caffeine free called sleepy time and that helped me out a lot. I was so happy I could sleep again at night that I stop drinking the tea at night when the doctors lower the amount of medication. Although on April the 16th 2009 I began to have trouble sleeping once again this time was because my kidneys had failed and I had to go on dialysis. The medication which is used to clean the toxin waste around my kidney began to effect my sleep. I tired a lot of technique but they would not work I even drink my sleepy time tea and tried various other teas. I still could not fall asleep! I would only get 3 to 4 hours of sleep a day and still function properly. I told the doctors and they said it's normal to have sleep deprived. This sleep deprived continue for 6 years until now I just received a kidney transplant in June the 16th 2015. Now I'm sleeping more about 5 to 6 hours and I'm on less medication. So I went back to drinking tea again and now I sleep 7 to 8 hours of sleep. I'm so happy!

Too much caffeine before bed, eating to late or spicy foods. there could be lots of things that contribute to your bad sleeping try listening to calming music, nature sounds and such after taking a nice shower or bath and doze away :)

Most likely you're just really stressed and can't calm down your nerves enough to sleep. You're probably just need to take some time...breathe in and out..and try to feel calm.

Ah, the insomniac's plight: waking up with a hangover without having had a drop to drink. A poor night's sleep can have you starting your day feeling drained before your feet even hit the floor. Other mornings, you could swear you got a peaceful eight hours, yet your body tells a different story. Too many of us are missing out on sweet dreams. Nearly one-third of Americans say they lie awake at least a few nights each week. Getting a poor night's sleep means more than just a bad day ahead. The quality of your sleep can harm your health long-term; sleep deprivation is linked to obesity and high blood pressure, poor concentration, and lack of energy for exercising, healthy eating, and leisure activities.

Having a lot of things on your mind May effect your sleep or it may be that you don't unwind before heading to bed. Try drinking a hot drink and putting any technology devices on don't disturb mode 30mins before planning to sleep

Most of us have experienced trouble sleeping at one time or another. This is normal and usually temporary, due to stress or other outside factors. But if sleep problems are a regular occurrence and interfere with your daily life, you may be suffering from a sleep disorder. Sleep disorders cause more than just sleepiness. The lack of quality sleep can have a negative impact on your energy, emotional balance, and health.

It is quite possible you have insomnia. You could try consulting a doctor to determine the cause of it and the proper treatment for it.

Depends on a lot of things. Especially your melatonin levels and your mental state. They affect the way you sleep the most.

May be for a number of reasons; for example anxiety from personal experience I have experienced lack of sleep for this reason. However there may be a number of other reasons which could impact level of sleeping at night. Which could link to eating habits, whether you nap in the day (due to missing sleep in the night making it harder to reestablish a normal sleeping pattern), working hours etc.

I'm very anxious and stressed and thats why i have a hard time sleeping but thats ok because I'm getting help

You may have unresolved problems or use your mind as a "memo pad." We tend to remind ourselves to do things, making our minds overly aware of the task being incomplete. Having unresolved problems leads to anxiety and can cause difficulty sleeping.

Maybe your mind is thinking to much and it won't allow you to sleep. Sometimes when your mind is over thinking is causes the brain to stay awake. Try to listen to music, or read before bed. That sometimes helps cause the brain to stop thinking so much.

Maybe you don't have a good bed time ritual. Try less caffeine before bed or no naps after a certain time!

Maybe insomnia, that would be something you should discuss with your doctor, or therapist, because no one knows you like you.

Your brain could be thinking of something or your subconsiousness might be replaying certain episode

Some say it is the subconscious that keeps you awake. Work out your problems and you shall sleep. However more practical answers are to cut down on caffeine, paint your room blue (doctors say this helps you sleep) or to maintain a regular sleeping pattern, so your body clock adjusts.

Insomnia is a very common thing to have to deal with. It could have plenty of different reasons for it.
