I went to bed at midnight feeling wide awake. But prayed a lot and even prayed to help me fall asleep yet nothing. I've been awake for 6 straight hours and I'd be happy to get 3 at least. Saying 3 bc my mom has someone coming at 9 so if I coujust sleep from now til 9...

I have several things going on which may be why I can't sleep. One being a friend of mine whom I did consider s partner kinda like a bf but now idk what to think as first time I spoke to him, he gave me an answer but it was like an open ended answer which really didn't answer my question. So very nervous as I can't get that off my mind and thinking the worst.

Also something else which I don't want to state.

I took 2 sleeping things but neither is doing anything.

Frustrated. Not getting answers for Anything

I don't think you should take pills. Maybe you should stop thinking about the fellow. Don't worry about it. As long as you're lying down, you're resting yourself.
 
Lord please bless ManiaStar, in this matter, in Jesus Holy name, Amen!
 
Hmm.... I don't know how to stop the brain from going on with worries at night (let me know if you find out!).

Maybe try going for a walk before bedtime, spending that time thinking about what worries you, and then as you go back in you sort of decide to leave the thoughts outdoors? Or write it down if that helps.

Avoid caffeine (not just coffee but tea that isn't decaf, and certain sodas etc) before bed. (I think they say 5-6 hrs?)

Find something else to focus on (but avoid TV/PC/mobile as it has light in it which will wake you up)

I find that melatonin helps as my brain shuts up a bit more ( it is the hormone occurring naturally in your brain telling you it is night-time), but try if other things help first.
 
turn on a.m. radio on low volume and you'll....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, sorry sleep like..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, sorry a hobbit.
