How to deal with sleeping problems??

Question

I wonder if anyone could help me. Here's the thing: i've been in school break for two months now and that means i usually go to bed at about 2 am, and I usually wake up with an alarm clock at 11 for breakfast then lunch immediately after breakfast. My problem is that I have problems sleeping, I usually stay an hour or two in bed trying to get some sleep and so I really have a hard time getting 2 sleep. Second thing is when my alarm sounds at 11 I wake up but I cant manage to get up and I immediately fall asleep. I have tried listening to music with my headphones in bed in order to stay awake but I still fall asleep again.
Anyone could help me dealing with these falling asleep/waking up problems???

I can't get up earlier since I know it's not worth it, I prefer sleeping. And I never take naps.

Answer 1

I tend to do that as well after the holidays. I reccomend a few days before school starts go to bed the time you usually do during the holidays but then get up really early in the morning (say 6am for an example). Put a REALLY annoying and loud alarm clock at the end of your room so you would have to get out of bed and turn it off in order to get some sleep. After you turn the alarm off don't go back to bed, no matter how tired you are. Try taking a shower or going to a walk to wake yourself up. That night then you would be a little more tired than you would normally be, so it should be easier to sleep. Blah that just sounded confusing but you get the picture I think. It works for me though =)

How much clutter is in your room, have you consulted a doctor about your sleeping disorder, do you have caffeine regularly, do you use electronics before you go to bed, - studies have proven that sleep is effected by electronics, are you stressed? All of these things can change your sleeping patterns, to completely relax you need to be in an environment where you FEEL relaxed in, does your room fit that description? Consulting a doctor would be the best way to go about this if it continues. Here are some examples of sleep disorders, Insomnia - a hard time falling or staying asleep Sleep apnea - breathing interruptions during sleep Restless legs syndrome - a tingling or prickly sensation in the legs Narcolepsy - daytime "sleep attacks"

If you get up earlier in the morning, and take no naps, you are bound to be more tired at night. Also do some activities...like work out...then you will sleep better.

Answer 4

your sleep patterns are terrible..you need to regulate yourself to a different cycle....gradually get yourself up earlier..when you do get up do it fast..no lying in bed listening to music..get up do some deep breathing exercises and light stretches then hop in the shower...i have had success falling to sleep faster at night if i tense up muscle groups consciously and hold them for a count of ten then relaxing them slowly..tighten up your muscles seperately for a ten count then tighten up your whole body and gradually relax, sometimes you might have to repeat it a time or two
