Oh. Ok. Here's some stuff from WebMD.
Wake up at the same time each day. It is tempting to sleep late on weekends, especially if you have had poor sleep during the week. However, if you suffer from insomnia you should get up at the same time every day in order to train your body to wake at a consistent time.
Eliminate alcohol and stimulants like nicotine and caffeine. The effects of caffeine can last for several hours, perhaps up to 24 hours, so the chances of it affecting sleep are significant. Caffeine may not only cause difficulty initiating sleep, but may also cause frequent awakenings. Alcohol may have a sedative effect for the first few hours following consumption, but it can then lead to frequent arousals and a non-restful night's sleep. If you are on medications that act as stimulants, such as decongestants or asthma inhalers, ask your doctor when they should best be taken to help minimize any affect on sleep.
Limit naps. While napping seems like a proper way to catch up on missed sleep, it is not always so. It is important to establish and maintain a regular sleep pattern and train oneself to associate sleep with cues like darkness and a consistent bedtime. Napping can affect the quality of nighttime sleep.
Limit activities in bed. The bed is for sleeping and that's all. If you suffer from insomnia, do not balance the checkbook, study, or make phone calls, for example, while in bed or even in the bedroom, and avoid watching television or listening to the radio. All these activities can increase alertness and make it difficult to fall asleep.
Do not eat or drink right before going to bed. Eating a late dinner or snacking before going to bed can activate the digestive system and keep you up. If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) or heartburn, it is even more important to avoid eating and drinking right before bed since this can make your symptoms worse. In addition, drinking a lot of fluids prior to bed can overwhelm the bladder, requiring frequent visits to the bathroom that disturb your sleep.
Make your sleeping environment comfortable. Temperature, lighting, and noise should be controlled to make the bedroom conducive to falling (and staying) asleep. Your bed should feel comfortable and if you have a pet that sleeps in the room with you, consider having the pet sleep somewhere else if it tends to make noise in the night.
Get all your worrying over with before you go to bed. If you find you lay in bed thinking about tomorrow, consider setting aside a period of time – perhaps after dinner – to review the day and to make plans for the next day. The goal is to avoid doing these things while trying to fall asleep. It is also useful to make a list of, say, work-related tasks for the next day before leaving work. That, at least, eliminates one set of concerns.
Reduce stress. There are a number of relaxation therapies and stress reduction methods you may want to try to relax the mind and the body before going to bed. Examples include progressive muscle relaxation (perhaps with audio tapes), deep breathing techniques, imagery, meditation, and biofeedback.
Yeah.
Sorry if I'm annoying or that's overly long
I was going to reply, but I think Shuri-is-a-Birb-in-a-Cage! covered it all. Sleep well :)

@Shuri-is-a-Birb-in-a-Cage! by the way, is there anything shorter you'd like me to call you, or do you prefer your full username?

Shuri! That's what everyone uses.

Oh dear.
If you want to get to sleep, you should put your phone/computer away. The blue light from the screen stimulates your brain and keeps you awake.

I have and I gave up. The 3-4 hours I laid here in silence with !y eyes shut was enough for me. I hate silence

You could try playing calming music? But like….really, really quietly so no one else will hear. Maybe?

I have my ear buds in and my calming playlist on. sighs
maybe try reading something??
I like to come up with stories in my head as I fall asleep instead of reading. They typically end up being horrible self insert fanfic type stories, but what can ya do.
I hope you can sleep soon.

Maybe try putting your phone down and closing your eyes? It can't hurt. Sooner or later, you'll get tired enough to fall asleep. You just have to wait it out and keep trying.

Personally, I think four hours of sleep is better than no hours of sleep, but it's up to you.

I don't care at this point.thank you though
I have to get to bed, so I've got to go. I hope you manage to get to sleep :)
Yeah, reading is a good help! Sooner or later you find yourself not paying attention to the words and then a wave of sleep watches over you, at least that's how it works for me.
