Can you help me sleep early?

i think you should have a particular routine activities. Just don't sleep during day when you feel. take food at right time and do your work when they should be done. also do more physical activities and it will be automaticaaly make u sleepy at night. If all these don't work, then you can listen to a shooting music at night .

I think you have to do it bit by bit. I am not the best person to suggest a situation because I have been trying to right my sleeping time from 5/6am many times and failing each time. Just try to see if you can move your bed time a little closer. Like 12.35am. Then 12.30 am etc. Bit by bit.

Sorry I am unable to help because you are too faraway to listen to my lullabies.

hi kaplya .. !! same with me, i also can't manage myself to go to bed earlier i always stay awake until it passed 12 am i've tried to go to bed earlier at 10, but i can't fall asleep and my eyes keep opened until 1 am it's also torturing me, because i need to get up really early my mom told me to force myself go to bed at 10 she said my body will slowly accept the new habit at first it felt useless, but now i think it worked now i can fall asleep at 11 pm, hehee LOL not bad i think.. ^^ or maybe you can have yourself busy all day it'll help you to get sleepy quick.. it worked on me heheee, thanks and good luck kaplya .. !!

Oh kaplya. I'm a certified night owl and haven't had a straight 8 hours of sleep for years. Not since I had my first child. I don't really have any specific schedule of hitting the bed. Its erractic. I used to take Vitamin B complex with a minimal dosage of valerian root. It is a very safe supplement and I slept like a baby. I felt well rested that time. I think I better hop in to my favorite health store and buy that supplement again. I was seriously in need of getting more sleep. You can ask your doctor more about valerian root.

I can't help you.. I'm just posting this to let you know you're not the only one.. LOL I'm also like you and ever was. But sometimes I became very sleepy during the day and it's hard to work like this. But evan when I promise myself to sleep early I can't do it.

Stop napping for starters. As you already know that's contributing to your late night sleeping. If you don't nap, you may feel the need to go to bed sooner. There are lots of natural remedies, such as herbal tea. If you like tea, try some chamomile. It will relax you. Another herbal remedy is Melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. It can help induce sleep. Ive used it and it helps.

Hey you remind me of me! Hehe. Seriously, we have the same sleeping pattern. It becomes a problem when there's an important activity for the whole day and I'm unable to get my siesta. But a nice cup of coffee usually takes care of that. For falling asleep I recommend drinking a warm glass of milk. If you're going to read, read a boring book that you wouldn't be interested in. If you're going to watch TV, watch C-span (LOL).

You're like my younger brother. He also started having sleeping problems when he was still a schoolboy. He had a fascination with computers so he got himself one. From then on, his sleeping pattern changed and worsened. I am a light sleeper so I still can hear him awake until 1 or 2 in the morning. I believe you should try relaxing, free yourself from all the stress you encountered for the entire day, and leave it for another day. Forget your problems even for just 7 or 8 hours and bring to dreamland only happy thoughts by thinking of these joyful moments of your life before hitting the bunk. You're on the right track when you started ignoring the tv and the computer. But the book? Nah, there is a time for everything - watching, surfing, and reading. These are not bad, though. Just learn to do them on the right time. You may not feel the effects just yet. Give yourself a massage or hire someone to massage you. I know this works especially for very stressed people. I do give massages myself to my hubby, parents, and siblings. My mom in particular told me that she felt relieved and as soon as 15 minutes that I began massaging her back and muscles, she is off to dreamland. I guess not everyone is like her, but just give it a try. Avoid taking in salty foods before bedtime. Also, don't push yourself too hard. Begin the change in your slumber by adjusting your sleep step by step. If you currently sleep by 1am, try making it a bit earlier, say 12:30 or 12midnight. Avoid taking pills or syrups before lying your back to your bed. This may be contrary to other people's opinions, but my only reason is that you may (or may not) acquire an addiction to these medicines and won't be able to sleep even more in the days ahead without taking them. No offense to other people, but this is just my suggestion. You may take my word or ignore it. It's your choice anyway. Good luck and take care.

i m sorry that i cannot help you with that but the only thing i can do is give you some solace by letting you know that you are not the only one .There are a whole lot of people suffering the same 'disease' including me. But some of tested ways to slightly improve the condition are: 1 try to tire urself either through work or exercise. 2 if u are not very interested in reading,read something before sleeping.(that really is one of the best hypnotisers for many students) 3 try to keep ur mind out of tension,if any

I guess it would help if you take milk, it induces sleep

Thats right you cannot gain yourself and wakeup fresh in the morning if you sleep late thats what my problem is i go to sleep in the midnight and sometimes in the morning after sunrise so the habbit is making me weak and unhealthy and sometimes i feel myself depressed and irritated .......... I think i must try control my routine unless it becomes my permanent lifestyle ...........

Some of the recommended self-help aids for sleep include limiting your caffiene intake, and no caffiene after 3 to 5 p.m.; exercise in the morning or early afternoon, never at night; limit television shows for two hours before bedtime, and don't watch thrillers or action shows during that time; keep your schedule getting up and going to bed at the same time; do not watch tv or read in bed; if you have been in bed for 30 mins and are still not asleep, get up and go into another room. Read or look at a magazine for 15 to 30 minutes, then go back to bed; keep your bedroom organized and neat -- it will be more relaxing. Try to be finished with dinner by 7 or 7:30 p.m. If you eat anything after that, keep it healthy like fresh fruit and yogurt to avoid the sugar rush of processed foods. Try to create a relaxing atmosphere. Sometimes simple things like moving the furniture or buying new curtains and bed sheets can make you more relaxed. If you try all of these and it still doesn't work, talk to your doctor about a short-term, mild sleep aid to help get you on the right track.

Dude teh only solution to it as i know cause i had been facing it myself is that when u feel like dosing off in the afternoon dont go to sleep at that time.Have anything that keeps u awake like a red bull or a coffee and then when u get too tired and desperately wanna go to sleep then go to sleep by 10 P.m and then try and wake up at 8 in the morning.This way u will come out of the odd sleep cycles and be active the whole day long....

Dear kaplya The following is my advice: Have Good Sleep Hygiene: Get to bed at a reasonable hour and try to give yourself enough time to get the sleep that you need. This changes from person to person — it could be 7, 8, 9 hours, etc. If you have trouble sleeping, avoid caffeine after a 2 p.m. It takes that long for the effects of it to leave your system. Exercise: Exercise is good for general body health. You won't awaken with as many aches and pains. Relax: When we're young, we can just crash. But the sleep system isn't as strong when we grow up. It doesn't come in with the same drive. It doesn't last with the same drive. You have to decompress and set the stage for it to come in. Limit your stress.

Do not sleep the whole day. Try to work on things or engage in sports activities. I am sure you will be sleepy before 9pm. I hope this can help you. God bless!

i'm also a late night sleeper but i know of some ways that would help you in sleeping earlier. One is to have a good exercise on that day. I've observed that time when i still do belly dancing, that i get to sleep earlier than those days that i did not. I was even amaze then that i slept earlier already. Second is tea. i've read from books that tea really helps too. another is drinking milk before bedtime. milk contains amino acid called tryptophan that would stimulate you in getting sleepy. also i believe that you have to relax and free your mind from worries for you to sleep early. trully not being able to sleep on the time you want to, and rather end up later is unpleasant really it affects your health. So i suggest that you try these things i inumerated. And i hope these will work for you.

I am also suffering from the same problem atleast u go to sleep at 1am but in my case i will not get sleep before 3am some times it will reach to 4am,i am really fed up of this. I am also searching for the solution.It irritates me so much.i will go to bed at 11pm but i wont get sleep at all.sorry i cant help u i am also finding the solution.If i get any solution i will let u know.

I think you should just try to develop new patterns of sleeping. Eat properly and exercise
