I've been having sleeping problems for a few months now. Why am i getting so paranoid and cant sleep?

I first noticed this when i would come home from boarding school freshman year. When I would come home, no matter how hard I tried, i could not fall asleep. I felt so paranoid about where I was, and would just walk around the house all night and watch TV. Why can't I fall asleep, and what should I do so I can get the proper amount of sleep I need to function?

i got cured of sleep problem by having read this sentence by vivekanananda-'u havnt taken birth just to eat sleep and drink.'stop worrying about it u r giving it more energy.it will become harder to fall asleep.understand that when ur body is tired it will automatically take rest.instead put ur mind to better use.very often we dont because of toxic build up.so drink more water.take a cold water bath .go under ur bedsheets without drying urself.or soak ur feet in cold waterfor 20 mins. before bed time

The strange surroundings, as crazy as it may seem because you are actually at home, can have an effect.I suggest the following for exam prep, but it may well work here.Sit in a chair where you can relax, are not going to be disturbed. Arms and legs uncrossed, and just relax. Think of somewhere peaceful you would like to be, the beach for example.Count very slowly, from 1 to 10, as you take yourself on an imaginary journey. Let all the tensions and stress flow out as you relax and get closer, until finally, at number 10, you arrive.Before you go to bed, a warm milky drink, (no caffeine) don't read or watch TV, instead listen to relaxing music, (no vocals) , pan pipes are ideal, and just let yourself drift off into a peaceful sleep.Hope this helps,mike t.
