Sleep Problems

The Story

Hello! I am a 16 year old girl. My problem is that I don't sleep. During the week I get up at 6 o'clock. I used to go to bed at 23:00 or 00:00. And in the morning I had to call 20 alarms in a minute or two plus at least 2-3 friends. Still, I didn't hear my phone and fell asleep. I rarely woke up when I had to. I talked to my parents and they told me to go to bed earlier, because I also realize that 6 hours of sleep is not very okay. So I started going to bed at 9:30 at the latest. And guess what. Same thing again. Even worse. I go to bed at 21:00, I barely fall asleep, I wake up 3-4 times at night and in the morning I can't wake up again and all this is repeated with alarms and ringing. I went to bed several times earlier at 20:00. I slept a lot until I went to bed. Again, it took me about 20 minutes to fall asleep. I woke up again at night. And again in the morning I barely woke up. I don't want to sleep at noon because then I have a headache. I don't play sports, but I go home on foot every day. It's about half an hour away. Then I go out with friends and make them walk again. I don't eat very harmful and I try to have dinner at 6:30 at the latest and not eat more. I don't know what to really do anymore. When I go to bed I can't sleep, but come and see in the morning. I wake up very tired, my head almost always hurts, I bump into objects, people and everything in a radius of less than 4 meters. Sometimes I have the feeling that my face is slightly swollen. I'm sure I can collect the purchases of the grandmothers from the block in my bags. When a close friend of mine, after seeing me one morning what bags I had and told me I looked a hell of a lot worse, imagine. Well, it's 7 times worse than that, which you imagined. In addition, I have accumulated a lot of absences from falling asleep and being late, and if I am expelled from school, I will have already grown up. Have you had such a problem and if so how did you deal with it? I will be very grateful if you share!
