Why can't I sleep properly?

Home More advice Health

For about 4 or 5 months now, I have been constantly getting up at about 2 or 3 o clock in the morning, forcing myself to go back to sleep then waking up about an hour later, constantly, sometimes until about 5 or 6 o clock in the morning when i cant stand trying to get to sleep. I know I can't, and sometimes I can't get back to sleep around 4 in the morning. I can't sleep during the day, and its usually between 11 and 12 at night when i can get to bed. This is on a school night, and sometimes very early in the morning when I can get to bed. When I feel really tired, I get into bed hoping I can sleep, but I can't and its sometimes about midnight or around 1 in the morning before I can finally manage to get some sleep. When I do sleep, I'm a heavy sleeper, and nothing wakes me up, I wake up naturally very early in the morning, without an alarm. In the week, my alarm is set for 7:15am every day, and the snooze button lasts 5minutes at a time. I feel really run down, and I just can't seem to get to sleep like I used to. Counting sheep has never worked for me, and still doesn't, so if you tell me to count sheep it doesn't work. But I don't know what's wrong. I think, for me to not get all the sleep I really need, its not good, and I think theres something wrong, and its not good. Please help. Thanks
