Its summer and my sleeping schedule has been turned upside down. I would stay up all night and sleep all day. I've been trying to fix this for quite some time because my school starts in 24 days. I've tried things like not sleeping for an entire day just so I would sleep the following night. However, this doesn't work. I mean it should, right? Its worked for me in the past. It doesn't, though. I will be extremely tired throughout the entire day and then when it is time for bed, I cannot sleep a wink. I've tried this maybe 5-8 times in the last weeks and it doesn't work. I've been getting headaches and its worrying me that I might develop some type of ailment. I really need help. My parents absolutely never take me seriously, as I have those 'Stop overreacting, youre fine' kind of parents. What's wrong with me? And as a last solution, how old do you have to be to buy over the counter sleeping pills? Im 14. Thank you for your time.
