Help with insomnia nedded

[getall]

For the past few months, I've been having trouble sleeping. When I'm up and around doing things, I feel like I'm about to pass out but when I lay down to sleep, I feel wide awake. I can make sure to keep myself there for hours and not feel tired at all. But of course, if I get up to do something since I feel wide awake, I feel as though I'm going to pass out in the middle of what I'm doing. Seems to only happen when I try to lay down and sleep and this kept me up until 9 am yesterday. :\ I'm not really sure whats going on.

Huge hugs to you.
I strongly recommend to you audio hypnosis for sleeping.
Pleasant music and voice which you can switch by the way!
And that is extremely effective.

I suggest a visit to a physician because what you're describing doesn't sound normal. However, if your health is good, and there is no underlying physical issue, then try some sustained aerobic exercise as a way to relax the body and induce sleep.

During WW2 doctors taught American bomber pilots (who couldn't sleep due to fear of impending missions) a trick for falling asleep. Lying in bed sequentially tighten all the muscles in your body. Start with your feet and legs and gradually tense up your muscles all the way to your face--especially the large muscle groups such as the quads, gluts, stomach muscles, triceps, etc. Even tighten the muscles of the face and neck. After the entire body is rigid, hold that rigidity for ten or fifteen seconds, and then relax all of the muscles. Do this sequence repeatedly until you start yawning. Sleep will almost inevitably follow.

Any electronics near your bed, wifi stuff etc? Try and keep your room as clear as possible.

Have you used binaural beats? CBD oil might be worth considering too. And as ZD said, exercise.

I have been a poor sleeper for about 20 years, but Im pretty much okay with that at this point. I find that watching a comedy show is good for me at the end of each day, I don't know why.

Normally, we have ample amounts of sleeping substance, MELATONIN, in our brains. When it gets deficient, we tend to lose sleep. Yoga helps in the production of MELATONIN. There are studies of people into Yoga gone to sleep early. But if you are not into Yoga, you can buy over-the-counter the medicine, SLEEPWELL. It's a tablet that contains MELATONIN 3mg. You can take this without side effects 1-2 tablets before bedtime.
