Started university and insomnia has hit me very badly, and it is killing me !!!!!!!!!
I really do not know what to do!
I feel hopeless. Uni is very stressful and I can not afford insomnia to ruin my university life. I cant sleep till 4am, despite the fact I am tired. My brain simply does not allow me to fall asleep. I fall asleep at 4am and have to wake up at 8am or 9am. So I am getting about maximum 5 hours of sleep. Sometimes, I even miss my lecture so I can sleep a bit more. Its just so fustrating. I feel like crying. It had a huge impact on my productivity and efficiency when it comes to revision.
I did not have this issue before, but since university has started I developed insomnia, I have so many other problems in my life.
I dont know what to do !
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! I BEG U

If anything I would say to use that to your advantage. I had to stay up till about 2 to get all the work done ^^
If it persists though would see your GP. Perhaps its just getting used to all of the change, new environment and stressors etc.

Your GP can prescribe PRN (take as required, not every day) sleeping meds for you if needed. The one I'm on is actually an antihistamine, so tiz non-addictive and everything

When you say you cant sleep until 4, is it every single day?
Yes
Apprx 4 am sometimes even later.
My aim is to go to bed at 10pm and wake up 6am.

You need to tire yourself out. I recommend going to the gym or running late at night, then have a hot shower.
I heard sport before going to sleep activates the brain and thats not we want.
I go running in the morning
I drink warm milk, because I heard it helps you sleep.

Whatever you do, try as much as possible to avoid relying on medication for sleeping disorders.

Read a fiction book before going to sleep - always helps me.
In paper form though - not e-books on a screen.

Um I mean avoid coffee... I sleep 5 hours a day anyway, but that's just me. If you worry about it, it can get worse, but try to get some support from your uni.
Oh and get f.lux on your computer, if you have an android phone you can get twilight, and jailbroken IOS users can get f.lux too.

I am not in the UK.
And I am not going to consume tablets, because I do not have chronic insomnia.

How much exercise do you do? Do you eat properly? Do you suffer from persistent anxiety, loneliness or other unpleasant feelings? Is your living environment healthy and comfortable for you? Do you consume much caffeine? How much time do you spend looking at a screen?

Oh dear!
Maybe you're just going through a temporary "phase" of insomnia. I get that sometimes - for a few weeks I can only sleep much later on at night and just get a few hours of sleep despite being tired.
It then returns back to normal and actually I end up catching up on that missed sleep - sometimes sleeping for 12-14 hours at a time for a few weeks and then returning to 8hrs.

I know, it must be a phase. I did not have these issues before
