I can't get enough sleep! I try going to bed every night at nine, but instead end up finally falling asleep at one a.m. Every day during school I'm exhausted and every chance I get a lay my head on my desk. I think it's making me more irritable, too. Why can't I sleep? Any tips? Please?

 

Hey girly, I'm not sure why your having such a hard time sleeping, it could be happening for tons of reasons: are you stressed? Thinking a lot before bed? I do have some tips though. Keep active during the day. Try adding a half an hour of excercise. That could mean doing a workout or just going for a walk. It could be that your bod isn't tired because it hasn't been active enough during the day.  Also, turn off electronics before bed. Don't check FB or your email right before bed, don't text, don't try to fall asleep with the TV on. Your body is programmed to sleep when its dark and wake up when its light, so staring at the lights on the screens can keep you awake. Try avoiding these things a half hour before bed and read instead. I hope these help! Good luck, babe.

i tryed out for xfactor when they came to a city around me and was disapoited to see that you get judged by a teen in a booth that only picked people that had a story or were completely wack. My dad took me which i was extremely greatful for now i asked him for my bday will he take me again next year i wanted to know now so i could start training but my mom keeps saying we should wait untill im 18 and can take myself but my dad said he would do it with me any day and now because of my mom he's saying maybe not while hes driving my bro to every hockey tornament in north america! even though i know its alot to ask but he drives my bro everywere only for him to lose and i only get this chance once a year do you think he should or not bring me there or is it up to him? i just needed someone else's opinion so i dont feel like its unfair if he doesnt take me and dont worry i wont flip out if he doesnt take me its alot to ask

Looks like your dad is in a sticky situation! Maybe your mom could take your bro to a hockey tournament while your dad takes you to try out for the x-factor. It seems fair since it's only once (or at least once a year). Try talking to your parents about how important this is for you, I'm sure they'll understand! Good luck!
