Im not sure about your specific situation but some people use music to listen to or calming sound Effects. You could try that or is all else fails you could try an over the counter sleep aid like NyQuil and see if that works for you. Your not sleeping could be because of any stress or anxiety you might have or it could be something greater. If you would like you could go to a medical professional to see if they can treat you’re sleeping issue. I really hope you get through this problem and if you would like to talk about it more there are many listeners to help you.

Could be many factors. Main one being, your brain is too alert. You need to make sure there is a comfortable enough sleeping environment for you to be able to switch off completely. In order for your brain to release the right amount of Melatonin, you will need complete darkness. That means mobile phones and laptops put on silent and placed elsewhere. Your room should ideally be at a cooler temperature (especially females). The reason why you're having so much trouble is distraction and disturbance of the mind. That can be put at ease by silent meditation or simple deep breathing exercises.

Maybe you are stressed and your mind is overwhelmed, if you try to relax and put away things that could add to your stress, like your phone or any other devices that you do things on and instead listen to music you enjoy or you find calming and try to not stress as much you could get a better night's sleep. If you also do things that you enjoy and you feel happier before you sleep it could help you to fall asleep faster

Everyone is different so you may have a different cause as to why you can't sleep. I can't really pin point exactly why you are having those issues, but people often get sleep studies done. It may be within your best interest to get one. Maybe you have a lot on your mind and it could be that your brain doesn't want to turn off. This answer will depend on a lot of different factors. Some say that warm milk can help. It may be time to visit a doctor is this is something that happens often. Good luck

You may not be able to sleep at night if you have a lot on your mind. Whether it's something that happened a week ago, worrying about something that may happen in the future, if its on your mind you won't be able to sleep! To help with this, You should take 15-20 minutes of you day and assign it "Worry time". Use this time to think about your worries, think of solutions, think of why it's making you worry etc. It is very effective! If you are struggling throughout the day to stop worrying, try writing your worry down and referring back to it during your "Worry time" You'd be surprised how much this can help !

Most of the time we are spending with the phone in our hands so first of all - let's turn the night shift what I mean is from the blue light to yellow which doesn't trigger our brain that much and makes our eyes to feel more rested. Since blue light is bad for us, then our brain can't make hormones for sleep. Also, try to do not think, try to clear your minds (but it's so hard you would say) yes, it is hard but just trying for ten minutes you finally will be asleep. Or at least that's what I do when I can't.

It could be that you have insomnia. Insomnia has many possible causes, including stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep habits, circadian rhythm disorders (such as jet lag), and taking certain medications. Sometimes, just a lot of anxiety or stress causes us to stay awake without insomnia too. There are two types of insomnia, primary insomnia and secondary insomnia. Primary insomnia is insomnia that isn’t caused by anything, that’s been there most of your life, and can be treated with a variety of therapies or medications. Secondary insomnia is insomnia that’s caused by a second, underlying issue. Some factors could be stress, depression, anxiety, and so on. This can also be treated with therapies and medications, but would be focused on the underlying issues rather than the actual sleeplessness

Not being able to sleep at night is most often categorized as insomnia. Insomnia can be a result of many factors, and it can be acute or chronic (both are treatable). Some of the symptoms you are probably facing right now are general tiredness, irritability, problems with concentration, and sleepiness throughout the day. Some causes of this can be because of a significant life stress (new job, moving, etc.), illnesses, interference in your sleep schedule, and/or environmental factors. You should talk to your doctor about this and work out the root of this problem. Try listening to some relaxing music before you sleep, meditating, or maintaining a healthier diet.
