So this is the fifth night in a row that I am awake at 3 am. I don't drink anything with caffeine before I go to sleep, I don't eat any sweets, I just have a cup of tea(no caffeine I looked) and lay down in my bed. Ive tried silence, with soft music playing, making it super cold so I bundle up, and putting a heater in my room so sleep without blankets. Nothing is helping.
Also, I've tried staying up for 24 hours to get my sleep schedule back in the right order and I still end up awake at 3...
Try some excercise before bed. I'm not sure how old you are either, but as you get older it seems sleeping gets a bit harder.

I'm 17.
Finally I found someone like me!
This will probably be bad In a forum like this, but it works. Try jerkin the merkin. And if you don't get the reference then either you ARE too young, or strange. Pm me.
However strange it sounds, it's actually medically proven to help you sleep. I would explain more if I didn't have an eating baby in my arms.
what i do is read, find something interesting enough to make you want to read it but boring enough that you can close the book, and just read until you pass out :P
I would turn off the music. Try to make sure it's as dark and close to silent as possible. Also make sure you woke up early did not nap. Get some physical exercise (run lift weights play some sport) and mental exercise ( where you had to think crossword puzzles sodoku or something that makes your brain work).
From my personal experience either I'm not physically or mentally tired. But every once in a while I'm stressed out about something and stay up thinking which I have no suggestion for.
I tried Zzz-Quil last night for my sleep problems. It works wonders and is non-habit forming. May want to give that a shot. It's Ny-Quil but specifically for falling asleep. I woke up with a clear head and felt well-rested this morning, which never happens.

If you do that make sure you have enough time to actually sleep. Set aside at least 8 or more hours of rest when you take these
4 am and awake again...
Doesn't it suck when you have class
True dat
When I was younger I would just have psytrance or ambient house playing all night
Easy to fall asleep to and induce some vivid dreams
This was one of those old school devices called "stereos"

I remember those! Magical devices, they were. Majestic, like a unicorn, only with an equalizer in it's ass.

Last time I looked, ZZZ-Quil was nothing but diphenhydramine. Which is the generic name for Benadryl... Make you don't take more than 100mg at once, or else you are overdosing yourself...
This is the Pharmacy Tech in me talking...
