Is it normal to not know what to do ?

So over the past three months I haven't been able to sleep at all! I'ts sooo horrible and I can't stand living like this anymore. It kills me in the way that I don't have much energy during the day to do anything especially work! I have tried pretty much everything- Nice relaxing music, sleeping pills, natural remedies, swapping beds. I have done RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!! I have tried it all on the net and am giving up. What do I do? This all started from some dumb nightmares that made me scared to go back to sleep. One time I did sleep with my sis and according to her I apparently slept for a while, then she fell asleep so she didn't know how long I was asleep for. I actually thought I didn't sleep because I always feel as if I am awake all nite even when I do close my eyes I am aware that I am awake...O.o I am tired and wasted in the mornings and feel awful at night and want to be able to relax again but I don't know how anymore and miss sleeping. Please Help...?

Is It Normal?

    Wait, do you wake up or do you mean you can't fall asleep? Because I have chronic insomnia from nighttime awakenings and have had it for three years now but it's largely due to chemical imbalances. I can't say there's any quick remedy if it's the awakenings as I'm yet to find relief and have tried over 40 different remedies both natural and pharmaceutical. And if it's the falling asleep bit, melatonin should do the drink for that. I have no problem falling asleep though but I do know melatonin relaxes and helps with falling asleep.

      Thanks for your reply I really appreciate it!! I have trouble falling asleep ( I feel like I don't sleep AT ALL to be honest:( ) I have tried all natural jubes which are cherry flavored cubes containing melatonin) Where can I find other sources containing high levels of melatonin??

        Walgreens, Walmart, and online. You can get a sustained release kind online that may help you stay asleep through the night. You can take up to 6 mg per night,maybe more.

    As the others have said melatonin really does help.

    Melatonin helps like perfectxsilence suggested. Maybe this is a silly question but do you go to bed the same time and wake up the same time? That's what gets the body clock regulated so it knows when to fall asleep and when to be alert and awake.
