Sleep help?

[Dimentio]

I'm sure many of you, with or without depression experience sleep loss, I know when i last had my very very rough faze of depression i certainly suffered from it haha
This time around I've been putting off accepting my depression, but i don't think it's any use any more, as tonight/last night, I have not got a single bit of sleep, don't the people who say they literally had no sleep but still slept 5 hours piss you off? XD That's five hours sleep, I literally had none :')
Anyway my sleep has been off and on for a while now but i can't keep affording the no sleep due to college and many other things, so do any of you have methods for sleeping?
I've tried sleeping in different clothes and positions, using different blankets, windows open or closed, my phone on or off, reading before bed, drinking tea, sexual release, having a bath/shower, eating, not eating, snuggled with my pets, just everything it seems, and yes before i have tried sleeping pills but i can't remember if they did nothing, or they VERY mildly worked, so i am kind of at a loss on what to do haha
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i urgently need to do coursework or i will be kicked off my college course, though i cannot do work when tired!

Are you getting regular exercise? Is there anything in your room that could be disturbing you? Do you experience nightmares or anxiety in addition to your depression?

One of the exercises you didn't mention, was listening to ocean waves, rain forest sounds, contemporary classical music, before you go to sleep, or while you are asleep. It helped me a lot. There are even videos on youtube that you can play or you can download mp3's of that and just put them on an mp3 player or something.

If not, make sure you had something good to eat before you rested, you are hydrated and drank some water. Perhaps drinking a glass of hot chocolate or warm milk.

Daydream in your sleep, make up a movie in your head or something. This is good because it causes your brain to overload and become tired from all the spontaneous thoughts. I suffer from forms of insomnia myself and it is really horrible. But these things helped me and hopefully they help you.

Dimenhydrinate and/or Melatonin.

All of those simple and light solutions sounds completely silly to me, none of that, exercise, music and whatnot never ever helped me sleep. It's of no relevance when you suffer from severe anxiety.
