I think i have a sleeping problem and i do have reoccuring nightmears everynight? please help!! read my story.?
okay well to start off im a 15 year old girl, since july i have had this sleeping problem where for example i go to bed at 10 and im tired and everything its time for me to go to bed and when i lay my head down i cannot fall asleep until 12 or 1 a.m.!! but finally when i do fall asleep i have the reooccuring bad dreams for weeks and i will wake up and not fall asleep for another hour! so that doesnt leave me much time for sleep when i hae school the next day! so sometimes i will take a sleeping pill called sleep ezz or something and i get a perfect sleep !! so whats wrong with me ?

I also have nightmares around twice a week.
I will suggest somethings to you, they dont work for me, but they are advice I have received and tried myself.
hot bath before bed with some drops of Lavender essential oil in it.
Lavender linen spray.
Hot milk/ovaltine, I hate milk and only drink chocolate milk so i used to heat this up.
relaxation cd
hypnotherapy sleeping cd
Alternate your sleeping tablet with drowsy antihistamine so you dont get used to it.
Imagine you have won the lottery and live the life you would choose to have in your imagination until you fall asleep
You could go see your doctor. He will prob tell you to try things like the list above so make sure you know they dont work beforehand then you can go in and say, tried this and that and it still doesnt work.
You may need some therapy for your nightmares.
