Do you still have your same schedule as before with having no set sleep schedule and going on the computer non-stop?
Generally, that causes a LOT of sleep troubles. Having a set wake up schedule no matter how tired you are helps you get into a rhythm. You should then be acting tired at the same time and hopefully, but not always, start waking up at around the same time. Listening to music to me gives me the opposite effect. I get into the music too much, but that's just the way I am. Have you tried reading before you go to sleep? Also, if you have some extra cash and it won't cost much, have you ever tried melatonin? I know it's sort of a alternative medicine type deal, but it does work for a lot of people myself included.
I actually wake up at a pretty much set time. Usually 7-9am. My step dad is fixing up this house and I've been waking up and going there every morning and painting or doing some other kind of random shit till around 4 or 5pm. Then I come home and eat, then go on the computer. But anyways, that's kind of the problem. I usually stay up till 3-5am, so I only get a few hours of sleep and end up being tired as shit all day.
I don't really have extra money right now but I'll see if I can get some. I talked to a friend about sleeping pills and he said they can fuck you up, but I'm not talking about melatonin, because afaik, it's naturally occurring?
Get a notepad and write down whatever your thinking about. That way, you know that its on paper and won't forget a possibly important thought. Then if your up to anything, try meditation...I know a lot of people think its gay, but seriously it does relax you. You can do it while your lying down in bed. If you want I can get you a few websites that have simple ones that anyone can do to help you fall asleep faster. Its not only relaxing, but you should fall asleep quicker.
That's a good idea actually. Maybe I will. I'll think about it.
