text: sleeping question? when ever i try to sleep i end up crying.about something that's gonna happen or something else.how do i stop this "crying" and why can't i go to sleep?i am not tired and want to go to sleep.it's because i used to go to sleep at 8:30 p.m and i can't go to sleep at the certain time anymore?i need help sleeping i feel like i just answered this question an hour ago. hehe. okay. i know this sounds very weird, but it has helped me examine a lot in my life. it may or may not work for you, but there's always room to try, isn't there. first off, question everything!!! why are you crying? okay, you've answered that it's about something that's going to happen or "something else". you need to be more specific. find the answers. ask yourself questions until you tire of it or find the answers to them. you are more than likely having a bout of insomnia, as i am one. true, you can just let your body tire itself out. things that you can do to help this are:  1) exercise 2) meditate (listen to soft music, breathing exercises, etc) 3) taking a bath 4) reading   while you are trying to go to sleep it's best to clear your mind, hence why i suggest meditation. this is a big problem for most of us as we have so much going on in our lives and why we feel we didn't sleep as well the next day. clear your mind of all your problems, worries and anxieties. let yourself go and drift. you will fall asleep.
