Lately its been really hard for me to get to bed anywhere before 2:00Am, my minds always racing and I just cant seem to tear myself away from my computer. Plus I take alot of night classes in college and dont get gome til like 11:00pm anddont relax til 12:00 then I usually wanna get on my laptop and wind down but even now as Iam sitting here at 2:37 am knowing I have class tommorow I just cant go to sleep. Even stranger I force myself to get up no later than 10:00 trying to break this bad habit but no luck. Anyone got any advice? (Edit) Idk how this got into the general forum cause I clicked on the chat tab o-o. Sorry

So.. is it that you can't sleep, or you don't want to sleep? (Computer addict) Then your problem is not getting sleeping, but being an addict. And that's a serious problem...

Next solution plox @ above, Yeh I probably am a computer addict n_n. But I dont think thats the problem cause I only go on it because I cant sleep. Ususally I lie awake in bed for like an hour and if I cant get to sleep ill turn on the computer il i pass out.

Legit things: �Some foods can make you sleep. Hot turkey (sandwitch meat, real bird, etc) has a chemical called Tryptophan which aids in sleeping, and I believe warm milk does the same. �Get a book and start reading, the repetitive eye motion and word processing has a sort of mental exhausting effect. �A long, hot shower would relax your muscles to the point of making you tired. (it knocks me out personally) Things to avoid: �Any kind of screen (TV, PC, laptop) in a dark room �Caffeine (of course, herp a derp) �Very sugary foods, INCLUDING some fruits. Bananas and most berries can actually make you more awake. And about the sleep meds and addiction, try Melatonin. It's a natural hormone your brain produces to help you sleep/dream. I don't think it's addictive at all.

OT: Try to go to bed when you get home
