I can't stay awake

im constantly falling alseep no matter how much or little sleep I get im constantly drowsy and falling asleep.. I've started to take caffiene pills but I've heard they can give you heart attacks.. is there anything else I can do to keep myself awake during the day?

this my sound like it came form your grandmother but if you try drinking warm milk befor you go to bed it should help.

You need to see a doctor. There are a number of conditions that can cause daytime sleepiness. Narcolepsy and sleep apnea are examples.

Once you have a diagnosis your doctor can tell you your treatment options.

I don't think you should see a doctor because that is normal. When you are an adolescent, you are always sleepy. trust me.

Try to have some exercise ... You can also play football , basketball , tennis - it might bring you up

you should see a dr, cause you shouldn't be that tired.
I used to take caffiene pills a lot and I never had any problems.
heart attacks are rare and prob' if you have medical prob's that contribute to the caffiene effects.

If you are constantly drowsy and falling asleep, then you probably aren't getting enough rest while you sleep. As Fillet said, there are a few things that could cause this and it's best to talk to a doctor to make sure it's not serious. Even if you do have a sleep disorder, they can be treated. I once had narcolepsy as a reaction to Celexa so I know how frustrating it can be.

Please do not take caffiene pills, they caused me to have heart palpatations. The doc said I was very close to having a heart attack. If you are sleeping 7 or 8 hours a night then you should see a doc for causes and also one of the symptoms of depression is sleeping a lot. So you may want to look at that also.

hey babe yes there is somthing you can do, iam training to be a beauty therapist and I fink you may be lacking iron in your diet. this is very easy to get more iron all you need to do is eat red meat, or take iron vitamins which can be bought in any pharmacy. or ino this sounds completlly crazy but try drinikng guiness this is very high in iron but dont over do it. and please do ntot take caffine pills they are very dangerous and can seriously damage your body. hope I helped god luck xx
