Answer 1

Try using a sleep aid around 10 or 11 pm. I use Excedrin PM because they are not as strong as the prescription type. If that doesn't work, contact the doctor. He may be able to give you something.

If you are hyperactive, it is very normal to have these irregular sleep patterns, and to sleep so heavy that it is difficult to wake up. A single cup of coffee, just before bed, usually helps. Hyperactive people have the opposite effect when taking mild doses of stimulants such as caffeine. If you still have no relief, there are medications for hyperactivity, as well.

Answer 2

You just need to get back on a regular sleep cycle that works for you. If you can do this without a sleep aid, that would be best, but if you need one for a few days, you might give that a shot. You need to make sure that you only sleep where you sleep. (Don't do other things there, like watching TV, etc.) Give yourself a bedtime, say 9:30 or 10, and go to bed at that time consistently. No matter what, don't get out of bed before the alarm goes off the next morning, even if you lay there and think all night. Don't listen to music or read or watch TV after bedtime. Don't nap during the day, or go to bed early, and don't go to bed late. After three or four days, your body will adjust to the new sleep cycle, and you'll be good as new. It's just consistency and self discipline. Good luck.

You could be stressed out or you are too active at night. Here is some tips:

- melatonin : I took 1-2mg. I have colleagues that take up to 6 mg. The average is about 3mg. This is non additive. Another point is melatonin need no doctor's prescription. You can read more from this site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/melatonin.....
I have even read from books on melatonin that it is an anti-aging pill. Not bad. You sleep and stop growing old.
- use lavender aromatherapy. Lavender smell help me to sleep after a night shift.
Some addition tips I used
- The most important rule is not to force yourself to sleep.
- Get a boring book with a topic you want to learn. Read until you are ready to sleep. Listen to classic music as you read.
- No activity before you sleep. Avoid watching movies, reading ghost stories, pillow fights, exercising.
- Keep the clock as far away as possible. The ticking make you even more afraid and awake.

Answer 4

Firdtly, worrying about it isn't going ot help. It could be that you have upset your internal clock somewhat and just need to get back into a regular pattern. Try sleeping at regular times if you can and not for instance staying up late at weekends. Sometimes you need to adopt regular sleep patterns as a means of retraining that internal clock. Try to relax. Try to do some relaxing chilled out activity prior to going to bed - that does not involve studying. Take a relaxing bath, or try lavendar essential oil on the edges of your pillow. You could try a calcium/magnesium tablet as this often helps. Sometimes camomile tea can help.
I wouldn't allow yourself to sleep for more than 8 hours in a block as even allowing yourself to indulge in say 9 or 10 hours could be a trigger for irregular sleeep patterns. Get a loud alarm clock that will wake you after 8 hours.
Just try not to worry or you will be in a viscious circle as worrying can me a major factor in sleep disorders. Good luck.

Answer 5

I would examine what you are eating and drinking before bedtime. Believe it or not, 1 soda can keep you awake at night. Even chocolate or sugary foods keep some people awake. Also cigarettes can keep some people up.

I knew a guy who guzzled Mountain Dew all day then wondered why he couldn't sleep. He also developed diabetes from the sugar.

Answer 6

i know that feeling. you dont have a problem with the disorder. It is arosta (meaning timeframe). there are ways to overcome the sleeping problem. The best thing to do is find the timeframe that which days are classes and which days that you work. you should talk to your boss to make an arosta for you that suits to your timeframe. if your boss agrees to it then stick it to that arosta.

Also it is important to talk to the collage counciler assist your class arosta. and the most important thing is talk to someone like a family member or a trust worthy friend.

i hope this helps.

Answer 7

I think its natural to be a night owl during adolescence. You are not sleeping too little, just at the wrong time. Ive met very few people who werent always up all night at this age. Try scheduling your classes later, or at night. Get a night job. You will be much happier.

Answer 8
