well, being in it professionally made me take a much different attitude towards things like that. Plus I have more time these days.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

So it's been days since I got a proper sleep and now been 48 hours with no sleep at all. 
Since I'm running out of options now so here's the question for y'all....What do you do when you're stressed and tired but just can't sleep for no apparent reason?

I learned to live with it, but then my sleep problems are intractable.
I hear exercise helps, so maybe do more of that if you aren't.

Absinth? Talk about an old school sleep remedy. lol.. Why not just take a few drags of some good quality reefer? I find it helps a few ailments, including sleep.

Well, you obviously need to lose the stress somehow.
Take a couple of days off.
Leave the phone at home.
Bring a backpack and a tent for a long weekend in the mountains.
Or visit your grandparents farm, or whatever works for you.

This is a really good answer to this.
Get away and shut off things that cause stress.

Mindfulness and resilience can help if you want
Guided meditation, Body-Scan, Progressive relaxation... They are audio CDs / MP3 and you might find / buy them in the net.
Go out to the nature, go out with your friends, (if you have) play with your kids, read, disconnect your smart phone, go to gym...
Avoid big / heavy dinners (low carb, high protein), take lettuce / valerian infusions.
If nothing works, go to the doctor and take meds, but I would leave that for the last option.

A few possible solutions:
0. Uninstall whatever game it is.
1. Just accept that she's married to your best friend.
2. A couple of aspirin and a mallet.

That's deadly...
Lying on the couch while watching TV/Youtube (with sound set low and ambient light to dim) might help! ^^
Also try be neither too hot or too cold, but on the cold side of it...

I recommend Scotch in large volumes. There's no need to spend a lot on premium brands; the cheap stuff will work just as well, and after 6 you can't tell the difference anyway.

Get drunk. It always knocks you out.

Oh, and have a wank too.

The real problem with insomnia is that you wind up trying too hard to sleep. Sleep is something that just won't come when you're thinking about going to sleep.
It's often easier to sleep when you're making an effort to stay awake (which is why I often fall asleep ten minutes before the end of a really enjoyable late-night movie).
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain

Unfortunately, getting drunk is not an option (religious restrictions).
But taking notes from everyone's, I went on climbing more or less 500 stairs to a public spot, watched sun rise, took coffee that my mom made me and slept (yeah my brain in wrongly wired  ).
Point is, I managed to sleep for sometime and that's all I care right now

I'm glad that it worked.
Seriously, see a doctor. Insomnia is no joke!

When I was so over tired I could not sleep, I just drank a cup of coffee. Usually I was asleep within 15 minutes.
But I never wave bye bye
