Hello! I am a 16 year old girl. My problem is that I don't sleep. During the week I get up at 6 o'clock. I used to go to bed at 23:00 or 00:00. And in the morning I had to call 20 alarms in a minute or two plus at least 2-3 friends. Still, I didn't hear my phone and fell asleep. I rarely woke up when I had to. I talked to my parents and they told me to go to bed earlier, because I also realize that 6 hours of sleep is not very okay. So I started going to bed at 9:30 at the latest. And guess what. Same thing again. Even worse. I go to bed at 21:00, I barely fall asleep, I wake up 3-4 times at night and in the morning I can't wake up again and all this is repeated with alarms and ringing. I went to bed several times earlier at 20:00. I slept a lot until I went to bed. Again, it took me about 20 minutes to fall asleep. I woke up again at night. And again in the morning I barely woke up. I don't want to sleep at noon because then I have a headache. I don't play sports, but I go home on foot every day. It's about half an hour away. Then I go out with friends and make them walk again. I don't eat very harmful and I try to have dinner at 6:30 at the latest and not eat more. I don't know what to really do anymore. When I go to bed I can't sleep, but come and see in the morning. I wake up very tired, my head almost always hurts, I bump into objects, people and everything in a radius of less than 4 meters. Sometimes I have the feeling that my face is slightly swollen. I'm sure I can collect the purchases of the grandmothers from the block in my bags. When a close friend of mine, after seeing me one morning what bags I had and told me I looked a hell of a lot worse, imagine. Well, it's 7 times worse than that, which you imagined. In addition, I have accumulated a lot of absences from falling asleep and being late, and if I am expelled from school, I will have already grown up. Have you had such a problem and if so how did you deal with it? I will be very grateful if you share!

First, there are similar problems at your age. Many people remember this, but I think you also have a vitamin deficiency. YOU DRINK A LITTLE LIQUID. Bags under the eyes and headaches are an indication of this. You forget to drink water during the day and that is why I advise you to always carry a bottle of mineral water with you. Also salt your meals well, because you may be dehydrated. Swelling is fluid retention - it may be hormonal, but if a person does not drink a lot of water, he also begins to retain fluid. Get your multivitamins, let them be strong. However, it is best to go to your GP to get some blood tests, because it can be anything, but it is also your age. Still, go to bed early, and sleep freely on Saturdays and Sundays, and don't let anyone bother you. Now you are growing and you have a particularly great need for sleep. You will grow this problem, however, do not worry, but also build a sleep regime. Try to sleep better at lunch, and if you drink enough fluids, you will not have a headache after that. The success of P.P. I can say for myself that at your age I went to bed at about 10 pm, wrote homework until the last minute and slept tired, but we didn't have smartphones and tablets. In the afternoon, straight from school, I sometimes slept for about 30-40 minutes so I could study afterwards. I didn't watch TV either, but I read a lot of books. My husband as a young man always slept even 1-2 hours in the afternoon. Try this option, because it is clear that at your age at 20 o'clock you do not sleep. that at your age I went to bed at about 10 pm, wrote homework until the last minute and slept tired, but we didn't have smartphones and tablets.

I don't read that you have a problem with sleep, but with waking up. I read that no matter how much you sleep at 6 or 9 o'clock, it is difficult to wake up in the morning. The probable problems you have are: you drink too little water, I'm not talking about liquids but about water, a person should drink 30 g of water for each kg / if you are 52 kg you drink 1560 ml / and separately liquids such as juices and soft drinks, you may have a lack of vitamins from dieting every diet denies certain products that are the only source of certain vitamins or minerals so you create problems for the body and separately you most likely have low blood pressure early in the morning. It is possible that the problem is psychological if, for example, you can't get up for school, but to boil the bus to the sea at 6 o'clock in the morning you wake up before the alarm at 4.30 o'clock. so the problem is psychological, you don't like school and that's why your body stops you,
It's really weird with sleep deprivation. The morning is the most devastating feeling. Well, there is something similar. Morning intimacy with your partner is different from the midnight experience. When there is passion in a period in which they both wake up, the feeling is incomparable. Unreal nice. With each sensory zone on the surface of the body and not only there. And in the morning these same sensory receptors are jagged and sour on everything around. Um, of course, yes, I know this, why it's something known in advance.
Change your alarm and now when you hear it, instead of turning it off and waiting for the next one, you get up immediately. The animals that survive today did so because they are suffering. So it is with your brain. When you hear the same sound at the same time, but you don't react to it, you eventually learn to ignore it. It's the same as people who live in noisy neighborhoods, over time they don't notice the noise
Look for a specialist in "sleep medicine" or "sleep research laboratory" - there are some in larger cities.
This is due to too many emotions during the day (mostly negative). And from the genes. I've only been working a regular shift for three years (I haven't worked another one), but I never liked getting up early. For God's sake, if it was a habit, the author would be "used" already - anyway - she will, she won't, she does it every day. He sleeps at lunch. Your head will only hurt for the first few days. Your head hurts because then you catch up on sleep and this is a "delayed" effect of not sleeping. When you catch up - it will stop hurting. I speak from experience.
First go to the doctor, he will determine if you need any tests. If you are healthy, you need to think about why your sleep is restless and you wake up constantly. Do you drink cola or other refreshing drinks in the evening? Is it very warm in your bedroom? Sometimes the hota wakes up from the heat. It is best to sleep in a cool place. Think, you know. There is always a reason.
