Well I am exhausted but I just can’t sleep
I don’t know what to tell you to try though if you are experiencing what I did. I tried a whole bunch of medication. Drank nyquil. Tried benydril. Nothing worked. Even the meds that I take now used to make me drowzy but now they don’t. There are a lot of sleep experts that say that if you can’t sleep get up and try to do other things for a while then try again. However what I did when I was staying up all night was just try to sleep for 8-9 hours straight. I wasn’t even exhausted despite not sleeping for 5 days straight. That made me think that I was manic. Maybe you are switching meds or coming off meds? That could do it.
No I have been on the same meds for a while now
Maybe you are manic too. Don’t know what to tell you mine wore off after like a month. You could try listening to some asmr videos on you tube.
It doesn’t help that I am sleeping on a couch tonight at my grandmother’s house
i just stopped my 3rd shift job bc i was all messed up, never sleeping, and my blood pressure was going higher and higher. also i hated taking my night time meds in the middle of the day on my day off
I don’t know you could try counting sheep. Although I don’t think that worked well in the past. Usually I just try to sleep in the same position. Could try to empty your mind and will yourself to sleep. I don’t rely on being tired anymore since I don’t feel tired.
I am probably just going to pass out eventually.
I had a job that was shift work. It was pretty bad. I was always sleepy(I was sleepy back then) and had to spend all my time when everyone else was asleep.
Well there are two ways you can go about it. Just keep trying to go to sleep. Or try to do other things until you feel tired and then sleep. Used to do the 2nd one until I started competing with the voices and wound up eventually in the hospital. Should add that I still even only tried to sleep at night time.
I think I am going to brainstorm for my story I am writing

Ughhh I’ve been having the same issues the past week or so… maybe time change? It’s 1:40 last night I went to sleep around 6… ughh
I am not even remotley tired. I may just take some tylenol pm. I am getting a headache anyway
I took benadryl last night which usually helps but it didn’t even touch me last night. I think I’m gonna try tea tonight
I’ve been hopelessly sleepless since I stopped smoking weed, and it was a long time ago. Recently I manage to sleep for 5 even 6 nights per week, but tonight is my night on. It’s 8 am here and I haven’t been sleeping for 22 hours. Fortunately, it’s also an opportunity to catch up work 
Oh also, magnesium is a sleep aid and most people don’t get enough of it in their diet.
