I just want to know if I might have insomnia.I have trouble sleeping at night and can't fall asleep for about from an hour-3 hours.I wake up during the night and can't go back to sleep.im really tired but can't sleep.and I wake up earlier than I need to please help! and how do you think I could tell my mum or dad? thank you

Do you drink colas or eat snacks before bed? What are you doing to make yourself go to sleep? What are you doing before your bedtime ?

I don't drink cola at night I drink about a cup in the morning.I don't eat snacks either and I makemuself go to sleep by closing my eues but I'm too scared and I can't sleep so een though I am really tired I have to just lay in bed till I fall asleep

Scared of what?

I have been watching horrors but its my sleep that's annoying me and the scared thing I'm not that scared but I can't sleep lyk just I fall asleep before my sister so I feel fine with her awake.

You have been watching horror? Like what? Before bed?

No lyk 2 weeks ago but I'm better now

Like not that scared anymore

I just want to know why can't I sleep and why do I wake up in the middle of the night I've been up since 3:30

What do you do for physical activity?

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!
