It takes me over an hour to fall asleep after my head hits the pillow. Is something wrong?

Relax. Literally. Most likely, you aren’t getting enough down time before hitting the sheets. Many teens expect to zoom through homework, IMs and MTV, then zonk right out at bedtime. That’s not how falling into a peaceful slumber works.

Before beddie-bye, settle down by having a light snack, listening to mellow music or reading a book. Dr. Judith Owens, author of Take Charge of Your Child’s Sleep, explains that a nightly routine triggers your bod and brain that it’s time to get some zzz’s. Avoid watching the tube—that keeps you wired.

If you can’t fall asleep within a half hour of crawling under the covers, get out of bed—you don’t want to associate lying in bed with being awake. Get up and read a boring book (give War and Peace a shot), and hop back into the sack when you feel pooped. Sweet dreams.

MOD MOD MOD!
I am a REALLY light sleeper. The slightest noise or touch wakes me up. Plus, at the first sign of light, I'm up. This is kind of inconvineint since the sun has been rising really early. My curtains block out most of the light, but the sun still shines through the cracks. I've been waking up as early as 5am. Plus, once I wake up, I usually can't fall back asleep. I've been so tired and I can hardly stay awake in my third and fourth hour classes. What should I do? (p.s.-I've tried a sleeping mask but I find them uncomfortable.)




Hey girlie,

Sleep masks really do help me - you could find one that makes you more comfy than the one you tried before? Otherwise, try cutting out television, cell phones, video games, and any other stimulation about an hour before bed. Do something relaxing like reading or resting your eyes to ease yourself into sleep. Another thing you have to do is calm down. If you're laying there and stressing out about not falling asleep, you'll never be able to relax enough in order to actually sleep. Instead, if you think about other things (something calming like the beach or a picnic in the park), you'll be able to drift off without thinking about it!

sometimes after I eat, I feel really nauseous and i get sick to my stomach. Its happening more and more often and its starting to worry me. my mom and i talked about going to the doc, but im afraid there's something very wrong with me. what do i do? thank u!




Hey girl, a lot of people have problems like that after they eat, but if it's severe and persists then you should talk to a doctor about it. I wouldn't be too concerned, it could be an allergy or something preventable. But if it's causing you a lot of discomfort you should definitely talk to your doctor. Good luck!

Hey girl! You might just need a stronger brand of deoderant. Check out some different kinds at your local drugstore. They have some heavy-duty brands. If no results happen with those, head to the doc for a prescribed deoderant! Good luck!

Hey Smile I keep having dreams based around the same guy. He's about 18 and goes to my school, i'm not really interested in him and i've only talked to him about once. In one of the dreams he pounced on me and kissed me, and in another i shouted stuff at him but then i walked over and kissed him, but left half way through, and then in the most recent one he started following me and grinning. Kinda confused right now, any guidance?
Thanks x




Hey girl, I wouldn't worry too much about analyzing your dreams. Most times they don't mean anything. Just ask yourself if you really like him or not. If not, then don't worry! =]

Hey girl, hair can seem thicker or thinner from day to day depending on all sorts of things like the weather, products you use, or even just how you slept on it, so its entirely possible that you hair is looking thicker lately.

Hey babe, A little orange juice is good for you because it has tons of vitamins, but drinking too much can damage your esophogus because it also has a lot of acid in it. Just drink small glasses and it should be fine.

Smile

 

Hey babe,

His sister might just hate it because of the way he acts around you - it sounds like he gets really flirty and that might be out of character for him (and annoying for his sis).  Can you hang out alone together?  If not, just try to keep doing activities that will make everyone happy and make sure you pay attention to his sister even though you like him too.  If you do decide you like him and would want to date, share that with him during a moment alone.  It sounds like he likes you, so that might make him happy!  (And just so you know, height means nothing! It doesn't do anything to affect the relationship you have with someone - you'll totally forget about it after a while.)

Hey girl,

There is no reason any guy should know you have your period - the only person that can tell is you!  Just excuse yourself to the bathroom like you would normally do.  If you need a pad or something, either tuck it in your pocket or go to the nurse's office to ask for one.  You can be totally discreet and they'll never know a thing Smile

MOD~mod~MOD,
wat are the consequences of bulimia???




There are severe physical consequences of bulimia, especially if the eating disorder lasts for a long amount of time.  A list of these include:





  • Broken blood vessels in the face and bags under the eyes




  • Dehydration, fainting spells, tremors, and blurred vision




  • Indigestion, cramps, abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas, and constipation




  • Internal bleeding and infections




  • Laxative dependency and damage to the bowels




  • Liver and kidney damage




  • Loss of tooth enamel from repeated vomiting




  • Suicidal depression




  • Swollen glands in the neck under the jaw




  • Upset of the body's fluid/mineral balance, possibly causing rapid or irregular heartbeats or even a heart attack




  • Weight fluctuations from alternating diets and binges




  • Rupture of the esophagus (upper gastric tract)






Though bulimia is not as deadly as anorexia, fatalities do occur. If you or a friend is struggling with bulimia, please see a doctor or talk with a parent as soon as possible! It's a scary disease and needs treatment.

Well, Rosie and I were best friends and then all of a sudden she started acting really mean and rude so we stopped being friends. Rosie knows that Michael and I like each other. However, she still flirts with him all the time. And he flirts back. I know that they used to like each other and even went out once. Ok, so what do I do?

 

Hey chicky, I think you should go for it and ask Michael out! Rosie sounds like a pretty bad friend, so I wouldn't worry about her too much. Start hanging out with Michael more. Take it up a notch and put on your A-game, and hopefully he'll realize how fab you are Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!! HELP!!!! I like this guy, Mason. He goes to my school. He is in 8th grade and I am in 6th. We don't know eachother that much and I want to become better friends with him next year, since next year I will be in the high school building (7th-12th). My family and I don't really like this school. My mom said we might transfer. At first I was all for it and happy (cause the girls in my class were being mean to me), But now I realize I won't get to become better friends with Mason. He will probably forget all about me. What should I do??????????? How can i become better friends with Mason? How do u flirt with someone 2 years older than u? plz help! how do u get a guy to text u first?

 

Hey chicky, just be friendly and laid back when you're around Mason. Try to talk to him as much as you can, but not so much that you freak him out. Does he like a certain sports team? Try to strike up a convo about that, or ask him a question about a class, or what's he's doing over the weekend. Just be friendly, and joke around with him so that he feels comfortable with you. If you can, start talking online some, whether via facebook, or aim. Sometimes it's easier to first get to know a crush that way. Eventually, you'll be able to ask him to hang out with you and your friends. If you guys can establish a solid friendship, then he won't forget about you if you move. Good luck Smile

Yo. I deal with slight insomnia. This is a result of the body not producing enough of Melanin, which helps regulate your sleep. I take 1 Melatonin dissolvable tablet. Take it 1 hour before bedtime, and your all set! Also, I use a sleeping mask that is very cold over my eyes and it soothes your eyes and keeps them closed (they don't close your eyes, the mask just makes them hard to open, like all masks). Sweet dreams!!!!!!

I am really bad at talking to guys..Well the ones I like. I really want a bf but I dont even know where to start. do u have any tips?




The best way to talk to a guy is to find things you have in common. Interests, classes, anything. It doesnt matter what it is as long as you have something to talk about. Then from there get to know him and keep talking more and more. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Okay, so there is they gut i really like! i am friends with him too. My bff was texting him to try and get him to go out with me, saying stuff like, you guys would be so cute together, and you flirt so much and you should date her. Anyyyways she did it so he wouldnt know i liked him, incase he didnt like me back. So he told her he likes me , and he assumes i like him and put her up to texting him that stuff. so she said to him 'are you gonna ask her out?' and he said, well shouldnt she ask me out if she started this whole thing and she likes me. So idk if i should ask him out cause i am really afraid to do it. Should i, or should i wait for him too? hellpppp pleeeeeeaaasseee!!!

 

Hey girl, if you know that he likes you, then maybe you could just ask him out! Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD MOD! Okay so last year I was friends with two girls, (these are not their real names) Sara was my friend, and she introduced me to her best friend, Molly. We were all good friends and I liked talking to Molly and Sara. Then something happened between Molly and Sara and now they are not friends. I am not sure exactly of what happened. It didn't effect my friendship with Sara or Molly, but once Sara and Molly weren't friends I kind of never saw or talked to Molly. Now I talk to Molly a lot on facebook or e-mail and nothing ever came between us but it would still feel a little weird to have her over since we haven't seen each other in a long time. I really want to invite her over but I am not sure what my mom would think or how to ask. Should I try? Sorry it's long! Thanks!

 

Hey girl, I don't know why your mom wouldn't be okay with it. Just ask. As for Molly, if you guys were really good friends I'm sure it wouldn't be weird to hang out. It would probably be great to see her again!

Hey girl! I recommend getting a sound machine (I think they have them at target) it has like 6 different sounds on one machine (my fav is the ocean, btw! It is so relaxing!) I have one and I can't get to sleep without it! I also have this pillow spray stuff from Bath and Body Works. You just spray your pillow once right before you go to bed to make your pillow smell really good and helps you get to sleep! It really works too! It is kind of expensive, but it lasts a long time! Hope this helps!

Hey girl,

Talk to your BFF and let her know that you want to hang out with both of them as friends. Let her know you've been feeling a little left out, and just need some quality friend time. If she doesn't understand that, she may not understand your feelings.

Hey girl!

If you really want to invite guys, just run the idea by your parents. They may be totally fine with it, but if they're not, at least you know you tried. That way you can tell your friends that your parents just want it to be a girls night! I'm sure your friends won't care.

Hey girl,

It's usually hard to keep eyeliner from smudging within the waterline as the day goes on. I like to apply eyeliner along the waterline right below the lashes so it stays on all day!

Hey girl, guys grow taller and bigger (in terms of muscle) during puberty. Their voice cracks -- it goes from being that of a higher pitched, young boy's to a lower pitched man's. They develop facial hair (hence shaving) and begin to be interested in girls. Hope this helps!

OMG I have the exact same problem! Sometimes I'm up until like 1 in the morning just trying to go to bed! Reading really helps, but getting a warm glass of milk also helps you feel sleepy. Also, if I am really restless and tossing and turning a lot, I turn on the lights and do some squats and crunches until I'm really tired! After you do all that exercise, you kinda just wanna lie down and rest, which will hopefully get you to sleep!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I'm in 8th grade, and I'm kinda depressed about the whole high school thing next year. I'm excited about high school too, there are some perks. But, 90% of my really great friends are going to this other high school. Frown And like, they tried out for magnet programs, and everyone's getting acceptance letters, etc. And we are selecting our courses for next year, and I'm just.. ugh! I probably should have applied for a magnet program at my friends' school, but I didn't apply for any special programs because I'm interested in Journalism, but there aren't programs for that. So all of this high school stuff this week is just freaking me out. My high school has a ridiculous dress code too Frown We can only wear 5 colors of polo shirts, and we have to tuck them in. I'm trying to enjoy the time I have left with my friends, but it's hard to think that we only have a month of sitting together at lunch left. Frown The friends that are going to my high school are nice, but they're kind of.. shy. We don't have a lot to talk about. The friends going to the other high school aren't really loud, it's just.... I don't know, we can never stop talking. I don't really know how you could even help me lol sorry it's so long!

 

Hey girl,
I know how you feel - the transition to high school can be way difficult.  Instead of looking back on what you should of done, maybe think of ways that you can make your high school experience the best possible.  Look for clubs, sports or activities at your new school that you might want to try.  And don't forget about all of the new opportunities to meet friends to add to your circle!  If you're feeling really down, I would def suggest talking to an adult or someone you trust - they can help you through the transition.  Wishing you the best!

Mod I need help WAKING up. Umm, when my alarm goes off its usually interrupting a good dream I'm having, and then I have this annoying buzzing invading my REM sleep (lol). And most the time I don't have enough energy to even reach my hand over to the desk that my alarm is on, so it bugs my family sometimes. I usually hit the snooze button, but I end up sleeping in hours after I set it. Any ways you can help me with this?? x]

 

Hey chica!  I'm sorry to hear about the not-so-sweet wake up!  If it's bugging your fam too, maybe they can help ya out.  Ask your mom or a sib to come wake you up if they hear the alarm buzzing for a long time.  Some people also like to move their alarm clock to a place a bit farther away from their bed, so they have to actually get up to turn it off.  Good luck with the wake up!

Lets see I usually go to bed between 10 and 11, and it's atleast 2 or 3 before i fall asleep... Ofcourse it may have to do with being restless from injuries.. itw as my knee, then my broken wrist, broken bone in my hand and now i sprained ankle so that doesn't help!

Mod so lately i've been dreaming about my bgf and i dating does this mean I like him? Kayla xoxo

 

Hey girl,
Woah!  Dreams can be totally crazy sometimes, so it doesn't mean for sure that you like him, but it does sound like you might be curious about it!  If you find yourself thinking about him in that way during your waking hours, too, then maybe you are crushin'!  xoxo

***modd!!***
This is an urgent thing or anything, but it's really important to me! But anywayy. I still maaajorly like my ex, we broke up a month ago. He told me he didn't want to be around me at all, so I promised he would have to deal with me as little as possible. For the first about 2 weeks, he acted as if I didn't exist. But recently he's been a little different. He's been talking to me in the class we have to sit together. Like he says "sweet" after everything the teacher says to make me laugh, and smiles when I do. I catch him staring at me more and more. When we look into each others eyes, I see something in his eyes, but I don't know what. Do you think I'm imagining things, or is he starting to show feelings again? Thank you sooo much!<3




Hey Girl! Perhaps this ex of yours is starting to show signs that he still has feelings for you. However, try not to let your guard down. Remain civil and give him the space that he originally asked for. He will most likely realize that you really are a great person and he needs you in his life. xo Lizzie

mod i feel like i'm getting a big head. i used to have a bad self esteeme, but now i'm the total oposit. i wish i could find a happy medium.

 

Hey girl, when it comes to self esteem, the more the merrier! Its great to feel good about yourself and be confident, just as long as you're still a nice person. Don't ever try to reduce your self esteem, just be a confident nice girl!

I have the same problem,but for me, I take about five to six hours before I get a restless sleep, full of dreams. I suppose I learned to live with that, though. I has been happening since the past four years. Now I never feel sleepy during class. Smile

Mod mod mod!
Im doing a report on Wolf packs and i have wolf pack characters and i want to draw them and put them on the poster board but i can't decied if i should becuase my wolves are "sparkle dogs" and they are color full with items on them and some ones already did a report for wolves(were aloud to do the subjects) and i want mine to stand out should i put the drawings on ? My characters work just like a normal pack and all




Hey Girl! What if you cut each wolf out and then stick them on either fishing line and hang them from the top of the board, or on sticks and have them popping up off the top!? I think it sounds like a fab project! xo Lizzie
