Take a melatonin or Tylenol pm at bed time. Use sheets over blinds to block outside light out better. Put on some meditation music, stop drinking caffeine.

Nice blog.

Go see a doctor. Extended insomnia can be serious and increases the risk for chronic diseases, injuries and mental issues. Life long serious insomnia can shorten life by up to 20 years. Seek help.

Just live through it, no sleep is horrible but only because you react to it like a bitch.

any way you can get out of work/class early today? just do a half day and go home and get some rest? if you've really had that little sleep, you probably look terrible. so if you showed up for a couple hours, then went to the boss and said you felt sick and had to go home, he'd probably believe you.

as for sleep tips:

if I have a bunch of stressful shit on my mind, I find an old police procedural show or a bunch of podcasts or whatever. something that has a plot or a main idea, but with a lot of talking and not a lot of action. then just stream episodes while lying down and watch/listen with my eyes closed til it lulls me to sleep.

ambient music is good too. find some ambient playlists on youtube. if you like jazz at all, look for some dark jazz, that shit is slow and relaxing and comfy as fuck.

honestly sometimes when I can't sleep I read the old testament. 3 pages of "begat" and "thou shalt not" and I'm out like a light.

also, eat or drink something warm that has no caffeine and not much sugar. soup is good, maybe a warm sandwich like a grilled cheese or something. it's easier to relax on a full stomach than an empty one. after that, take a hot shower or bath while your meal settles. use all the hot water you can possibly afford to. then grab a blanket, get in bed or on the couch and get your comfy tunes/shows queued up.

also seconding this if this is a recurring problem.

the longer you go without sleep, though, the harder it is to be reasonable. everybody's breaking point is different.

forgot to add, the reason I suggested going home early is that the more tired you are, the more mistakes you will make in your work. if you're in a class, you won't learn shit. plus you risk falling asleep at your desk or workstation and that is a big no-no. if you drive, falling asleep at the wheel is an even bigger no-no. please be safe OP.
