Try to drink milk without sugar and think nonsense, like you are a counting cars running in the high way!Your body clock might be in trouble,enough sleep should be 8 to 10 hours! Try also to go to bed as early as possible,around 8 pm to 4 am is quit an 8 hours of sleep!if you wake up at 4 do all the chores that you used to do in the evening like washing your clothes or cleaning the house and preparing foods to cook!

Answer 3

is there any reason why you wake up that early?
or you just happen to wake up

I have the same problem, I just try my best to get back to sleep

try establishing a regular sleeping pattern, try to sleep at a certain time regularly

once your body is accustomed to sleeping regularly I guess you won't have any problems

just don't think too much before going to sleep, it will only keep you awake longer
