Hard time falling asleep?

[EarthToKepler]

I have a hard time falling alseep. I've tried everything like at about 7PM-8PM All my lights go off, I put a blackout sheet on my windows so its colpletely pitch black, the light off my phones goes almost dark, barely see my screen and before bed I deep breathe (at this time its about 10PM) and this is a everyday thing I do.

If I'm lucky I'd fall asleep within 45 minutes and if I'm not it'd be about 3 hours before I drop off

I exerice between an hour and a half and 2 hours + college and other things too

but no matter what It's really difficult for me to fall asleep at night..

any suggestions or ideas would be unbelievablely appreciated thankyou!

Have you ever tried relaxing video on youtube? I have Insomnia and I don't like taking medication and I sleep with those on every night now, they relax me.

At first they annoyed me but after a couple of tries I got used to them and can't sleep without them now lol

They also have beach sounds, fire sounds, fans etc.

How long has this been going on for? Have you been under a lot of stress lately?

When I had insomnia the doctor told me not to drink coffee or sodas after 4pm because of the caffeine, also told me to have dinner at least 2 hs before bed time, and not to exercise in the evening, but in the morning. And to use the bedroom only for sleeping, not for hanging around. It also helped to have the bedroom clean and tidy. Maybe some of this helps?

Go to a doctor man. Sleep is important. I did and the doc gave me trazadone. Put's me out quick and you can take it every night. Non addictive.

If it's the case, try not to exercise before you go to bed (if that fits in your day)
