So you don't do any physical activity? No sports? You don't play outside, or do any sort of exercise?

That may be why you're having trouble sleeping. You sit around all day.

No I do exersise like just I live in a small area and I walk round e.g. shops round the corner take cats out for walk they are indoor

Have you ever tried reading a book before bed? I find that when I read before bed, it helps my mind relax, and helps me get to sleep. Pick a book that you find interesting, but not scary, and read a few pages or chapters (depending on how fast a reader you are) around 30 minutes before bed. See if that helps get you to dreamland.

Yes I read I like reading but I read and get really sleepy and feel like I'm going to sleep but I cant/dont

If this is an issue that happens often, and you've tried all of our suggestions, then it's time to tell your parents and see if they can offer a solution, or take you to a doctor specializing in sleep disorders.

Sadly, we're pretty much exhausted any option we can recommend online.

Yes its been happening for 2 1/2 weeks now thanks for the help!
