It hurts to try and sleep.

Okay, so since i was about six or seven, i've been having trouble sleeping. The reason for that is, it hurts to keep my eyes shut longer than it takes to blink, it feels as though i'm getting cramps in my eyes. So when i try to sleep, i just lay there and wait to pass out. Is it normal?

    You might be too tense when you close your eyes. Maybe you need to just shut them lightly, and you don't realize that you're doing it, but you're more forceful when you shut them.

    You should really see a doctor about it. Why didn't your parents get you checked out when you were little? Didn't they know you were having trouble sleeping?

    Do you move your eyes about when they're shut? Or like looking up while they're shut without realising it, cause that feels crampy, try getting into the habit of a mind sleeping trick, think about something distracting but relaxing, make up a story in your mind!!! You're probably thinking about you're eyes hurting so they do.

    I am tired, and it is dark. I'm constantly tired because i haven't slept well in ages. It just hurts to close my eyes for any amount of time longer than blinking.

    I've had this, you probably aren't tired enough. And make sure it's super dark, so you don't need to clamp them shut to rid of light.

    What are you doing to your eyelids that make them HURT? Do you squeeze your eyelids shut, out of fear they'll pop open? Lmao.

    This happens to me too, and it happens when I have had too much sugar or caffeine, especially when I have it too late.

    It is, very. It really prevents a good nights sleep.

    That sounds very odd.
