Ashleigh, I’m glad these tips are working for you. No matter what age you are, it’s never advisable to take sleeping pills, unless it’s absolutely necessary, for a short duration of time. The dangers of sleeping pills far outweigh their benefits (if any at all).

Thank you Vishal. I will be sure to try these. I am going to be babysitting once again today but will have help from my sister, which is good because my younger sister is back from my dads. Maybe the breathing exercises will help me from yelling at them. THnak you once again

I don’t know what to say Jaclyn. I’m amazed at the responsibilities you are shouldering at this age! I’m sure it’s the anxiety and stress that’s taking a toll on you. Please practice meditation and do some breathing exercises like Kapalbhati to clear the backlog of stress.

HI, I’m 13 and I think I might have insomnia. It’s 1:02am as I write this and even though I know what my problem is, I still can’t get to sleep. For the past three days I have had maybe 4hours of sleep. I have to babysit every night for my autistic brother and he wakes up at the oddest of times. When school is in session, I have to get up at 5:30 every morning to get dressed then wake my lil sister and brother up. After getting them fed, dressed and on the bus. I have about 10minutes before I have to wake my older sister. After I try and get her to wake up after about 20minutes, my mom comes home and I leave the job to her. During that time, I brush my hair, teeth and shower. I am usually up until about midnight each night dealing with my brother and sometimes sister. I am awake until about 5am now and sleep until about 10am, if that.
If anyone has any tips on how to deal with my brother, this stress, and my nonsleepiness. I would greatly appreciate it.

Bananas may help, but if your daughter’s digestive system is weak, then it may cause heaviness and disrupt sleep. Our body stores all the minerals and vitamins it requires, so having a balanced and nutritious meals throughout the day helps more than eating a very nutritious meal only at night. Meditation is the best way to get peaceful sleep and health.

My daughter is 13 y/o and is suffering from insomnia for the past month or so. She’s barely been able to assist school because she’s so tired. Doctors ran lab tests thinking it was hyperthyroid, but they came back normal. I’ll definitely try some of these remedies. I’ve also heard that eating bananas before bedtime is good because the potassium levels help in clearing the mind and making you sleepy.

i read all these things and they seem to be very posotive. ive had sleeping problems on and off agian my whole life and im only 15. I feel when i go to sleep im thinking about sleep and getting distressed when i cant fall asleep. I will try this tonight and i hope it will work because exhuastion is not a great thing to deal with. I also dont want to take medication because i think it will be harmful to my body and i dont want to become dependent on it.. i want sleep to come natural.
thank you agian
