i haven’t been sleeping well for a while now.
I’m the kind of person that needs the minimum 9 hours of sleep, and lately i haven’t been sleeping more than four!
i don’t know what to do, i tried searching a bunch of solutions for insomnia and sleep disorders, and i actually found a lot of sites, i tried everything. nothing seems to work…
I’m going through a lot, i mean my life isn’t a peach right now (AT ALL).
so… help me ?! 
I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!! Im under so much stress & am going thru some crazy sh*t, Ive been grinding my teeth & have ground a hold thru 2molars, 1 goes all the way thru the enamel into the next layer!! When I sleep at night I need at least 9-13hrs each night, & no matter how long I sleep, im ALWAYS tired & have such a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I wake up a lot during the night & sleep very lightly. in the past 5months its gotten outta control.
* I told my doctor who sent me to a sleep specialist.
The sleep specialist had me do a SLEEP STUDY (I spent the night at the sleep clinic with wires allll over me!! & the following morning/day doing this test for narcolepsy)
The test showed that I have narcolepsy & that my brain wakes up an average of 89 times per hour, PLUS that I RARELY go into REM when I sleep, so essentially Im not getting any sleep!!
*Even tho the doctor said I have narcolepsy type 1, I dont just fall asleep randomly during the day, & I dont experience sudden muscle weakness… so im not sure if I agree with this diagnosis, but I thought It might help for me to share my story & test results…
****So go to a Sleep specialist & get a sleep study done, I bet your brain isnt going into REM when it should be.
I know Ive been having awful side effects from not getting any sleep, like poor memory, always feeling tired, being crabby, sleeping a lot,& taking naps, & trouble thinking/concentraiting/retaining information!! it sucks so bad.
I hope you figure this out.. Have u checked out REM sleep disorders?
if you aren’t dealing with the stressors in your life, maybe you should get some counseling.

You are having trouble sleeping because you have alot going on right now. Try some natural stuff they will have at a vitamin store.
)
If that doesnt help try doing more active stuff during the day. If you are over 18 go to the doctor they will give you meds if not then try that
Also you can try shutting everything off and sitting there until you go to sleep:))
If not read a book or do something productive
