ok, I tried warm milk, hot bath, camomille tea, working out, whatever, but in the last four days, I've slept no more than three hours... if I go to bed, I just lie there with my eyes closed and no sleeping going on. I'm not sleepy at all, and I need to get my days back to normal before uni kicks off again... any motherfucking tips?

I'm going to take a half an hour walk in the rain with a camera. if I'm not back by 03:15, call your uncle.
also, some tips by then would be nice.

i suffer from the same thing as you most nights, keep tossing and turning and my mind wont stop thinking
most of these don't really work for me but they might for you:
- reading until you fall asleep - keeping some music going while you sleep, but something ambient or downbeat
- marijuana - try to make your mind focus on one particular sound on your room or whatever and try to block out anything else

What I do in extreme situations is I drink one beer as quickly as possible and lay down 5 minutes later. It's risky because if you wait too long with the laying down part, you'll get excited rather than sedated.

but right now, after the walk, I have a headache
hopefully, the headache pills will have a sleep-inducing effect.

set your alarm clock around 9am and get up when it goes off. don't nap during the day. after a few days it'll be fine.
failing that, i used to just not let myself go to bed one night, and fight the tiredness the next day, and then go to sleep at a reasonable time. feel great the next morning. very unhealthy though..

That's what I'm actually doing at the moment. I'm fed up with getting up at 2pm and having only 2 hours of sunlight a day.

well, if the alarm clock rang at 9 it wouldn't wake me up, as I'd still be awake.. it'd just remind me that it was 9 o' clock...

- reading until you fall asleep tried it, but it only got me more awake, as I was interested in what I was reading
- keeping some music going while you sleep, but something ambient or downbeat keeps me awake
- marijuana no.
- try to make your mind focus on one particular sound on your room or whatever and try to block out anything else I've got tinnitus, and it keeps me awake.

I will now lay in bed with eyes closed.
if nothing else, it'll help the headache.

I get kept up by distractions such as Battlefield, which I have just dragged myself off at around 4am :(, DVD's and magazines. I can only sleep when I'm bored and very tired.

its odd, but i cant ever fall asleep anymore without throwing a movie or the tv on, i need something that drowns out all the ambient sounds in my house that freak me out.
being a semi-chronic pseudo-insomniac, when i go through no-sleeping phases, its normally because im stressed out or something, and once thats done with (normally takes me a couple weeks) i sleep like a baby

Strange but true. At least about RD in my case. I used Cautella for falling asleep a couple of times. Maybe because his albums are quite boring when you get past the third track.

How about reading your most boring piece of curriculum literature?

Half bottle of vodka works fine for me...

OK so I tried this Redrum. I did have two hours sleep but I'm absolutely shattered. Hopefully I'll pass out around 11.
Tip: Don't drink caffeine

i also couldn't fall asleep last night, tho it's not as serious as you say. perhaps it's something psychosomatic that disturbed your sleeping cycle, perhaps it's the exams or stuff.
good luck tonight

I tried reading, but my curriculum is never boring, it's just either irritating or interesting...
