Okay, in the last... maybe 5 days this is the second time I couldn't fall asleep despite being sick and tired as hell.
I've been up, once again, all freaking night.
I guess it doesn't help that I've had a couple of personal problems pop up recently.

...so, my question to you guys is... what should I do to get some sleep?
Or maybe... what the fuck is wrong with me? >_<

I know this sounds strange but I usually just watch an hour of crappy cartoons then I fall right asleep cartoon network at about 1:00 is great for going to sleep.

I think it may do the latter.

...so, my question to you guys is... what should I do to get some sleep?
Or maybe... what the fuck is wrong with me? >_<

Here's what I do (I too have some serious sleeping issues):
- Get a consistent sleep schedule and stick to it, even on weekends.
- Don't do anything that is really stimulating within an hour of going to bed (this includes games and a computer).
- Have some light background noise while you're trying to sleep (like a fan).
- Try not to let your mind wander; focus on your breathing or the noise.
- At first, you'll have to force yourself to get out of bed (this is probably the hardest part).

- If you take something for ADD/ADHD (I don't know if this is relevant to you or not):  most of the medications are stimulants, so make sure you take it early enough in the morning so it's not still active at night.

And what I do whenever I stray too far from this:
- Take a break from some highly stimulating/time-consuming things (if you can), like programming or computer stuff.
- Go to bed a little earlier than what your goal is.
- Take a sleeping pill (Somonex works for me) while you're doing this to force you to get a consistent sleep schedule.  Make sure you don't get addicted though.

Those are the big things that I do, but it might be overkill for you.

Hope this somewhat helps

True... Hm... but hardstyle techno isn't putting me to sleep either.

Mhmm... that might make things even worse

Hard music can sometimes do the same effect than some video games, I think it's usually better to not listen to hard music right before sleeping, or at least not too loud.

About sleeping pills, I'm not too much a fan of these, not because of the addiction but because these almost costed me my mother because of the psychological side effects.

Also, not having a comfortable place to sleep can usually make it much harder to sleep

sugars... hmm... that's another thing I forgot about. Not everyone has hypoglycemia or diabet diagnosticed but they might still have it and they don't know. When eating sugar, you feel like if it was 20F higher and like if it was humid and more excited. That can cause serious trouble sleeping. I personally try to avoid highly sweetened stuff 4 hours before sleeping

I have some sort of weird problems. I am unsure if it's a coincidence or not, but when I sleep for over 9 hours, I end up with an headache during the entire day almost everytime. I wonder what could be causing it? Tylenols does the trick, but taking that too often is apparently not good, plus for very huge headaches like today, they barely even does any effect anyway.
