It may be hard to find sleep for lots of reasons.
First : are you in your bed ?
If the answer is no : you should wonder why it’s hard for you to go to your bed. I experienced several reasons, like : (1) doing intensive cardio training late in the day, (2) not being tired because I woke up late in the morning, (3) not being tired because I woke too early, had a long day at school, and then took a long nap just before diner, (4) don't want to stop doing something, like reading, or playing.
For the 4th reason, I decided to use my internet box parameters to turn wifi off past a certain hour.
Now, if it's hard to find sleep when you are in bed : maybe you think in circles, remembering bad memories, (as if your brain was picking the worst chapters of the story of your life) or anticipating bad news... It warms up the body and prevent from finding sleep.
I never achieved to stop my brain, but happily it’s easy to cool my body down : I stand 5 minutes in front of the open window, take fresh air, and then return to my bed (which cooled down too). And then it’s so much easier to fall asleep ! Hope it might help you !

There are many factors why you wouldn’t be sleeping at night. The most common is insomnia which is a sleeping disorder. But also being stressed can make you stay up so can anxiety depression or being on the phone before you sleep. Leaving phone away from your bedroom is always advisable it’s good to go to bed with a clear mind and wake up with one too. Going to be stressed is never a good idea having a hot shower or listening to music can help significantly or going for a walk in fresh air

Many people cannot sleep at night because of constant worrying and over analyzing about what happened during the course of the day. I was guilty of this for a long time. I would lye in bed for hours on end with nothing on my brain but worries- worries about being late to work, about being a bad mom, and worrying about how tired I was going to be the next day from all of this! I was stuck in a negative spiral until I finally became so tired of it and started doing some research to see if I could improve my situation. I learned that many suffer from lack of sleep due to constant worrying and that developing a "bed time" routine can ease your mind so you can actually fall and stay asleep. It takes a while to develop a routine that works best for you but it can be done and it changed my life!

Sometimes the burden of regrets and feeling of worthlessness can do that. I went through not sleeping that way i used to lay awake sometimes crying looking at the ceiling. Wishing that someone can come and stop this. Don't worry just talk about it or keep a diary and tell yourself about it. You will overcome it one day.
BEST OF LUCK
If you need help ask for it. 7 cups is here for you always remember that. You are not alone we are here.
I think you can start by admitting you mistakes and failures. Really helpful. Accept them as they are. Don't wish they were different

Well there are a multitude of factors that could prevent you from having a good sleeping pattern, maybe something is on your mind lately that keeps you preoccupied if it is so and you wish to talk to someone you are on the right platform, you may consume to much sugar during your eavning and so your body is to engaged to be able to find sleep or maybe you have been going to sleep later and later and so you are to awake to go to sleep at what now is early, for this you have to slowly move back your bedtime in order to regain a normal sleeping hour,
if you feel like you do not relate to these answers you can check others listeners answers or check in with your doctor.

There can be may reasons to that question. But for me, I think it's due to anxiety over the next day or the things in the past. Is that the same for you?
It also could be due to going on your phone or device for many hours, I know going on my phone makes it harder for me to sleep and it causes my eyes to hurt and I start to have a headache. If it your phone, I suggest putting it away during the night and try to read a book or something like that. Maybe drink a warm drink as well.

1. You may be eating too late at night.
2. You may be going on your phone too late. Make sure to put away all screens at least an hour before going to bed.
3. You may be stressed about something. Try meditating, reading a good book, or going for a walk a while before bed. These will help to make you feel less stressed, and might also tire you out.
4. You may be drinking caffeine too late. You shouldn't drink any caffeine within five hours of when you're going to bed. (If you go to bed at 12AM, stop drinking caffeine at 7PM)

There are many reasons as to why sleep can be affected. Anxiety can be one fo the main reasons. When we’re in bed we are alone with our thoughts and it’s so easy for your mind to run away and over think things. It then affects you so much you can’t switch off and find yourself tossing and turning to try and get comfortable. Stress, anxiety and depression go hand in hand with symptoms like insomnia. They can leave you feeling agitated and you can’t get comfortable which then just frustrates you more. Emotions also play a part, if you’re upset it can be harder to get to sleep too

Sometimes things that happen during the day or are going on in your life can be disturbing and may actively affect your sleeping schedule. Some of the best alternatives that work for majority of the people are listening to soothing music, reading to bed, practicing mindfulness, forming types of imagery in their mind, etc. You need to reflect back on your day and life and find out what is affecting you negatively. These solutions will only give temporary relief but the sleeping issue will be fixed only if you manage to figure out the cause and work towards solving it. Therefore, look at yourself, your life. Ask yourself what is disturbing you and your sleep. Get to know yourself better and then work on it.

A lot of people have trouble sleeping at night. This can be due to a variety of things whether it be insomnia or anxiety. if you feel you can't sleep because your mind is racing with thoughts at night it could be due to anxiety and might be something you want to speak to your doctor about. Another thing that could help anxiety is meditating or breathing exercises before bed time. This has personally helped me wind down before bed at night. Also, setting a time to put your phone down at night is a great way to make sure you aren't keeping yourself awake when you are really tired.
