I have trouble falling asleep

Asked Jan 4, 2009, 02:58 PM — 14 Answers
I've been having trouble falling asleep, it's been happening for a while now. Every time I go to sleep, it takes me about an hour later to actually be asleep. I can't fall asleep like normal people, but that's a long time. Let say I go to bed at 9 p.m., I won't go to sleep until around 9:30, 10. Maybe even longer sometimes. Please help.

It happens to me too....... Is there anything that you changed every since you started not being able to sleep? Like a light or a t.v or nt having a teddy or your favorite blanket? If so then bring the thing or things back it might work

Yes actually, lately I just switched schools and very stressed about it. I'm a weak person, I cannot stand criticism and have lots of trouble being myself. I always feel so shameful about it. At night, before I sleep, I always go through what I did that day and get mad at myself for not being brave and be myself. I always feel that way, so you could say I have very low confidence. I feel very sad at school, but at home I am happy.

Instead of beating yourself up every night, buy a 4x6 notebook and, before you fall asleep, write down the day's date and the time and then five things that went well that day, that made it positive. (Actually, you sound pretty cool to me, very thoughtful and sweet and basically quite courageous.)
