I also experienced this before, but now, I usually listen to calming music especially piano covers to help me sleep at night.

There could be various reasons why you're not tired, and it's best to do something that is going to help your specific reason! That's something you could definitely talk to a doctor about. Besides that, sometimes it helps to get into a routine, like maybe every night you shower, watch a 30 minute show, then turn off your light and just lay down. After a while you might train your body to fall asleep when it's time. Not only that, but exercise can definitely help! Some people like doing something tough like cardio because it tires them out, but it's recommended to do it about an hour or two before bed since at first you might be feeling more energetic. Other people like the opposite, they want something more relaxing so they do something like yoga or meditation. It's a good way to wind down and get some stress out, which may lead to you sleeping better.

Not feeling tired at night may be caused mainly by messed up sleep schedule. Try to go to bed before 24:00, therefore you'll get at least 8 hours of sleep. Isolate yourself from technics 30minutes early before laying down . Clear your mind from thoughts, and also, dont eat before turning in to sleep( Digesting the food will make your mind stay up for a long period of time' I suggest eating 2hrs before going to bed) That all should turn your mind off, and the tiredness of the day will catch up eventually.

Listen to music that makes you feel calm. If that doesn't work, you can read, try to think of things that make you happy and paint.

I've found that trying to turn of my computer and phone screens etc an hour before I go to bed is really helpful- maybe try some yoga, reading or meditation to help you wind down in that final hour before bed.

Try not drinking caffeine after noon and avoid sleeping during the day. Excercising before you sleep will energize you so try calming yourself down with a hot bath or shower and turning off electronics 30 minutes before you go to sleep..

Taking a bath with lavender oil helps, drinking a soothing tea or warm milk also. And lastly controlling your breathing.

You could try taking a bath before going to bed. Also turn off the TV, phone etc an hour before you plan on sleeping. Chamomile tea is also a good relaxant to drink before bed.

Try switching off electronic devices atleast 30mins before sleeping. Sounds clichéd but really helps. Try reading a book or writing a journal. Try drinking something warm. It might help!
