I haven't been able to sleep?

Question

I am 13. I haven't been able to sleep for about a week. When I feel tired I go to bed and close my eyes but I can't fall asleep. I go to bed at 10 PM and get up at 6 AM. I just close my eyes in bed for a few hours. When I get up I feel a little less tired but still sleepy.
This has happened to me before but it always lasted around 3 days and I had support from my family
Right now my family members are not helping, they tell me to "Just go to your bed and sleep".

Do I need to do something or should I just wait a few more days and it will be over?

Please help. I am sad and scared

Answer

Take warm milk and calcium pills at bed time.

Calcium pills also reduce sensitivity to pain, so if you have a dental appointment, take calcium pills with every meal for a couple days before the appointment and you can sleep right through it.

The other deficiency that is common to American youngsters is magnesium. If you wet the bed you need magnesium pills.

Study some books about nutrition to learn other stuff to make your life better.

Answer

Personally, I've found that rolling one's eyes up (whilst shut) and focusing on a virtual point above a threshold, like the ceiling, is quite effective during troubled nights;
Whereas a friend has had an erratic sleep pattern since your age, unless medicated.
Your mileage may vary.

Answer

Try listening to some Binaural Beats and isochronic tones while trying to sleep. These work for me every time. YouTube is full of these.
