I've been trying to fall asleep for the past hour, and I just can't. I can't stop crying, unless I'm distracted by something, and there's nothing to distract me when I try to fall asleep...

I'm not gonna emo out and complain about the stuff that makes me cry, I'm just gonna beg for some advice. I really don't like having to stay up so long that I almost faint just in order to get some sleep...

Any good tips on how to fall asleep? Non-medicated plz...

Haha, I have the same problem as you Zophia.
My advice is to do something really un-normal and then posting it on youtube and then go to sleep. It works.

Try doing something that make you bored so much you get to sleep.

Try draining your energy by doing work like washing,cleaning,etc..

Get some Rock music or calming music or whatever kind and turn it up real loud. It will drown out your thoughts. Preferably a song your can sing along with

Or try facing the computer all night and you're eyes will be irritated and your eyelids will become heavy. I tried that last, last month.
I do that almost on a daily basis. Sometimes my eyes still hurt when I wake up. :/

Positive side-effect of lack of sleep: I get Christmas presents made...

Perhaps I should find someone to knock me out, literally...

Read a really boring book or listen to a very monotonous speech/lecture. Works for me every time. If I can't sleep, I just grab one of my bio/chem books like Medicinal Chemistry and try to seriously read it. If I'm tired enough, I'll just fall right to sleep. Conversely, sometimes I'll load up my Financial Accounting online lectures, and the profs voice is so monotone and the subject is so dry that I'll knock out in 5 minutes.

Read a really boring book


Yes, just keep any book with you and you'll be good.

Punch yourself really hard in the face and then you will fall asleep but it does have a side effect either a fist marking on your face or when you wake up you feel really hurt or your teeth fall off

what if they dont have a book? and if they have braces then punching self would not be the smartest thing.......warm milk maybe?

yeh a warm milk. you said you don't have cookies? then maybe wafers or stuff that you can atleast pair with that milk.

you must also don't put much sugar because it will only make you more awake.
