<p>Just like every other incoming freshman, I'm nervous about college. But my nerves are really starting to interfere with my daily life. For about the past 2 weeks, I've been unable to sleep. I just lay awake as every possible concern runs through my head: Will my roommate like me? Will I do well in my classes? Will I have a healthy social life? Am I going too far from home? etc... </p>
<p>Even though I put down my computer and turn off my TV at about 11:30pm, I finally fall asleep at around 3am. This means that I wake up later in the day (usually around noon) and am completely drained for the remainder of the day. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I keep telling myself that I'm going to be fine, and that I'm just being dramatic, but I can't get the thought that I'm going to fail out of my head. </p>
<p>Usually when I have trouble sleeping, I take a Tylenol PM, but never for more than 2 nights in a row. The last thing I need is to be dependent on sleep aids.</p>
<p>Can anyone offer advice?</p>
