I'm sorry for my stupid question to everyone but I have to ask something... This hasn't been answered in different site to me for a long time so I think everyone here could respond to this...

Everyone around me seems to slip into unconsciousness at night. Whoever I'm at sleepovers with my friends and my family, they close their eyes and I'm alone fot hours and hours on end. I used to think that I could do it, too. I've always pretended to sleep... But I don't think I'm doing it right. I lay down and close my eyes but then what? It's just me and my thoughts and it's really really boring. My friends eventually sit up and open their eyes, assuring others that the hours is, which they slept, had passed by it what felt like minutes. How is that possible?!? They need to ask me how I slept and I would lie and tell them that I slept great. Maybe I am sleeping... It's just doesn't seem to be what people describe it to be like, though. Does that make any sense?

I've been this way for as long as I can remember and my parents and the doctors worried about me relentlessly until I started pretend to sleep. I didn't want to make them nervous, so I just lay there with my eyes closed and sat in the darkness for hours, singing songs in my mind. Is that what sleep is?

I'm a senior High School student now and I still don't think I'm doing it right... I've been really self conscious about this entire life. But I figured, it's time I asked for help.

Does this happens to anyone else? Please tell me how you sleep.

Honestly, I just watch something, play, read or have something that interests me until my whole entire system is dead.

In the early stages of unconscious it's like death, where u don't hear anything or dream anything, after a couple of hours you get dreams :0 And U likely have a sleep disorder, insomnia being the most common and well known one. There is different type and causes of insomnia. There is lots of information on sleep disorders available on the internet. I recommend doing a search of a list of sleep disorder to try to figure about which one or two your symptoms most closely identify with. Use wikipedia and a search engine to find out more information on those illnesses and how you can treat. speak to a professional about your sleep issue, and seek advice. (Copy and paste)

here...i used to be like that. i just lay down in a comfortable position in bed, don't move. don't open your eyes. just keep ur eyes shut for as long as u can. or if that doesn't work, heres wut i do every night i imagine/think about a story. I think about different situations and I'm in each situation and i just think about wut i should do. lol ik its stupid but it somehow works for me. technically, just stay in one position with ur eyes closed and relax. eventually you'll fall asleep.

This happens to me too, I can never sleep at night tbh. Most likely you have a sleep disorder (such as insomnia) and you can do research like Leonel said if you wanna figure out what sleep disorder you have.

Often I'm up late at night rolling around in my bed trying to fall asleep. Honestly there isn't really anything you can do to force yourself to sleep. What I usually do is do something that makes me tired, like exercise or something. If you feel tired you're more likely to fall asleep easier. However you can try to shut your mind off, but it isn't easy tbh.
