Not being able to sleep

[Gingerlidz]

I don't know why but in the last two days i have not slept at all. I feel really knacked but every time i go to bed or try to nap on the sofa i feel wide awake. Again I feel going in to a dark pit. Any help on how to sleep.

Put on some relaxing music whether it's of the ocean or of birds chirping but then again I know a couple who listen to pop music or even thrash metal what ever you can do to relax your mind is the only thing I can suggest I know because I experience this also on a daily basis and I have stayed awake until I have collapsed too

Thanks. I went to the doctors this morning and he said the same thing. He did want to put me on sleeping pills but i refused as i don't want to go back on medication again unless necessary. Last time i was on them i felt like a zombie even though i was sleeping
