Mostly the internet.
I've now been awake for 26 hours, 18 of them spent doing hard physical labour on a movie set, 6 more dancing and drinking with friends. This is the sixth day in a row I've been doing this. I've slept a total of 10 hours the past week. I could not be more tired. But there's always just one more interesting thread to read somewhere out there, or a news article, or a movie or game review, or a podcast, or a funny video (Or porn).
Sleeping is overrated anyway. I can't enjoy sleeping because I'm asleep while it's happening, sure, laying down in bed dead tired and closing your eyes feels good, but it's over in 5 minutes. always bothered me, that.

Thinking about sleeping makes me stay awake. Often times I have to set the TV to auto-turn off so I can distract my brain while I doze off.
When I stay up beyond the point of "well rested", I've usually been playing a good game, reading a good book, thinking way too much about things, or I've accidentally taken my ADD meds too late in the day.
My suggestions?
1. Find a brick.
2. Ram into forehead repeatedly.
3. ?????
4. Profit!
Alternatively, you could find yourself some good old Nyquil. That stuff'll put you out much like a brick to the face, but without the blood and eventual mental retardation.

My own sleeping patterns. For several months, I was on a schedule that didn't require me to be anywhere before 2 in the afternoon, and even then only 4 days a week. Cue me going to bed when the sun came up on a regular basis, and, upon going home for the Summer, clashing with my parents on the time I get up, because they can't stand the idea of their son sleeping in til noon even when he has nothing better to do :/
And being unnecessarily pissed off at the hypothetical person reading the post certainly won't help you either.Terrifying beans said:
A friend of mine has it. She explains it as being tired, often incredibly tired and exhausted, and laying there for hours, sometimes even 4-5 hours and just not falling asleep. I don't understand why it happens, but from the sounds of it it fucking sucks.FalloutJack said:
What keeps me awake at night?
Well... Thats what I went to the doctors to find out (After ~4 weeks with <2 hours sleep a night)
It's apparently a combination of going onto the computer too much (Which is releasing adrenaline into my system), caffeine and thinking about the wrong things when trying to get to sleep (I have to "Work to get to sleep" and thinking about certain things (TV, computer games, a girl I like) keeps my brain active enough so that I cannot fall asleep)
Also apparently wanting to get to sleep stops me sleeping...
*Sigh* 3 more weeks and I will have to go back and see what my depression test results mean...

I am usually awake because my mind won't shut up. It is constantly buzzing and I am thinking about various things, I am even thinking about various things that have happened today, and I haven't even done anything of any importance today, just enjoying a rare day off. If you don't want to take sleeping pills, you could always try excercising. That might wear you out enough to get a couple of hours of sleep.
My insomnia. No idea why, but I think it's getting a little worse all the time. I get to sleep eventually, but I can spend up to a couple of hours just waiting.
Also, when the next day is results day.
