I have not been able to get more than 5 hours of sleep per night the past month. Any suggestions?

I wake up at 5:30am to get ready for school and itypically go to sleep around 10:00pm. That is only 7 1/2 hours, but why do I try to go to sleep by laying down but just can't get to sleep? I have this ex that still wanders in my head a lot maybe thinking about her just keeps my mind running and keeps me up? I also just got into this new video game and when I get bored I will think about that too. Any clue why I can't get more than 5 hours of sleep?

Dang. I've just been reading all the stuff you've been postin. Me and the guy I am currently engaged to now used to have the same problems. Back in highschool we would break up and get back together ( this happened 5 or 6 times) We startin datin when he was a junior and I was a freshman and the relationship turned vial after a year, we dated for 2 years and then I had just got sick of it and called it quits for good (or so I thought ) Now we were broken up for a good 6 and a half months before we started talking again. I never talked to him, we both got our numbers changed, I never saw him anywhere,blocked him from my email, myspace and facebook. and for the first four months I hated him, thought he was the most terrible person I had ever met, then I started wonderin about him how he was doin, and I couldn't stop thinkin about all the great times and wonderful conversations we had, despite all the fighting, lies, and how cruelly we treated each other. I found out a little somethin too, I had to forgive myself first, before I could forgive him, before I blamed our relationship and the way it ended on him; but we were just as wrong as one another.. So 2 months later I made the choice to be the bigger person, I unblocked him from my social media sites and sent him a message to see how he was doing, and lord knows how much he changed! I told him I only wanted to be friends though. We were good friends for a good solid 2 years and then we started dating, we have been dating for 3 years now straight, no break ups we see each other every other weekend at least and we are currently engaged now! So give her a call or message, it couldn't hurt! odds are she has changed if its been a good while, and if not you can easily just block her or something LOL. good luck And about the best friend thing I had known and been friends with my neighbor since we were in diapers, at one point i swore we would get married or somethin! but he turned out bein gay haha, thats when i knew it was time to start talkin to brian again ( my fiance) I think talkin to this girl would really help! hope this helps ya!
