You need more exercise. Working 12 hours a day makes you tired and stressed out mentally, not tired physically. Do some cardio and get your heart rate up for about 30 minutes a day. Running/swimming/treadmill or something. And don't drink caffeine.

I took some unisom a little while ago it is about to kick in. Sometime drugs are the only remedy. If this is constant though, you should go to the doctor.

...clowns will eat me...

Couldn't resist.

Seriously, ever talked to a doctor about it?

I've always been a bit of an insomniac. However, I think it's the new job. I hate it, i hate every minute of it. I think perhaps the dread of having to wake up in the morning and go to it keeps me from going to sleep.

i'm a long imsoniac.

1. ambien is very good. (but addictive)

2. you need to wind down your brain with a stupid sitcom.

3. very important to get some bit of excercise once a day; get the tubes cleaned out. a brisk 15 minute walk will be fine.

4. great tip: if you don't fall asleep in 25 minutes, GET UP, change rooms and occupy yourself. Only when you really want to returnto the bed should you do so. then if 25 more minuts pass any you are awake then repeat the process.

5. also remember, real sleep is best, but quietly liing down counts towards regeneration too.

Then quit for heaven's sake! Is a little more money worth your physical and mental health?

I'm 22, I have no work experience. My grades the last two years of college weren't good for the same reason (i was majoring in the same subject I now work in). My parents are nobody. If I quit this job I don't know if I'll get another. I have student loans to pay.

I thought about poker, but what kinduv a plan is that. Besides, I only made like $20,000 this year playing about 5 hours per week, and I'm comming off this massive $4000 downswing that has killed my confidence.

solid advice....
I'd also add try laying on your back and inhale and exhale slowly and deeply. Tense up your body really tight and then completely relax. Do that twice more and keep breathing slow.
