" What I do when I can't sleep because I'm crying or just plain can't? I either read; wrap myself in someone else's life and forget about my problems, OR lay there thinking that you are at your favorite place. For me, it's a beach. so think about the water, how the sand feels, and relax yourself. That always works for me.

Hope this helps. Sorry to hear you can't talk to your parents about this... "
