    I think you should prefer to consult any of your near and dear friends or relatives about his. Local help is the best. It may be expensive to call a professionally qualified doctor from far off places.

    Same with me, as you can see. There are several factors that can effect why your not tired.

    1-You feel as though there isnt enough time in a day so you stay up doing things you enjoy

    2-You are hyper active or have consumed large amounts of caffine or suger

    3-You are a night child (Person who wants to see the world at night or is a night person)

    4-You are emotinally stressed

    5-You are wanting to prove somthing or stand for somthing

    6-There is too much noise

    7-You cant find a good position to sleep in

    8-You take too many naps

    9-You are simply not geneticly wired to sleep early at your age, though this is rare

    10-You are easily distracted or entertained

    Could be a combination of things really. The first thing that pops up is depression/anxiety. Both of these play a role with your sleeping cycle. You may go days and weeks not sleeping much then put of no where's sleep too much. It's nothing to be ashamed about. Go to your doctor, they can determine the cause to see if its due to mental health. And will probably put you on a minor sleep aid.

    haha i feel your pain. it's just the way your sleep cycle is set now. your body is used to falling asleep later so it does. try going to cvs and getting some melatonin supplements. it's a natural chemical that's already in your body that makes you sleepy. if nothing else it'll get you through the night. It doesn't knock you out or anything like that... it just helps you fall asleep and stay asleep. at least try that until your sleep schedule is back to normal. good luck!

    Your internal biological clock did not evolve along with your alarm clock.

    Also you may be having difficulty due to preoccupation with certain events relevant to your life, and because of stimulants like caffeine as in so-called energy drinks, certain over-the-counter decongestants, and anything that stimulates the cerebral cortex.

    Try this:

    We now need to plan sleep based on what we plan to do the next day (unless we work a night shift). If we do not rest our body, the brain will not be quite alert as need be. But maybe we mentally do not feel tired, particularly if there are a variety of stimulating activities available, like reading, television, homework and so on.

    Instead, one can work out with yoga, or weights, or both followed by some form of mind-calming meditation. Yoga is particularly relaxing. The idea is to use up a lot of blood sugar and then let your body adjust to available resources.

    MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

    You can adapt this for use when you lie down to rest and sleep.

    There need not be a time limit or schedule; use as needed when you need to rest your body and mind but are not able to sleep or to stay asleep.

    Consciousness is a function of a cognitive neural network processing both sensory data and memory. Sentient experience can be subjectively deconstructed into four foundations of mindfulness:

    1. Mindfulness of body.

    2. Mindfulness of sensation as pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral (physical sensation).

    3. Mindfulness of state of mind (attitude, emotion).

    4. Mindfulness of content of mind (ideas, learned skills, memory, mental images, beliefs).

    For about 20 minutes twice a day:

    Sit in a comfortable position, legs crossed and back erect if possible, and with as little noise and distraction as possible. Focus your mind only on your breathing. If your mind wanders, deconstruct the mind object as outlined above or bring your attention back to your breathing, counting mentally “1 in, 1 out, 2 in, 2 out, 3 in …” and so on for a cycle of four or five breaths. Try to calm your breathing as you do this.

    Alternately, take a deep breath and calmly repeat a list of digits such as the one below all in one breath, repeating for about 20 minutes (once you have it memorized, you can just repeat it mentally; repeating it verbally will help calm your breathing):

    68849 28977

    94142 71231

    27860 67361

    14184 53447

    79620 25153

    As you do this there will be the usual background of a continuous stream of thoughts, random or specific ideas, and images, feelings that come and go. Any of these can distract you, but you can just ignore them. There is no need to suppress any of it; your brain normally processes information via random association or cognitive models you have acquired either on purpose or by random experience. These are the things that usually drive your perceptions and behavior, even your dreams.

    If you lose concentration on the breath or on the mantra, as soon as you realize this to be the case, deconstruct your current object of attention into the four foundations of mindfulness as above, then continue with the exercise.
