Why can't I wake up?!?

Question

I'm a freshman in college and I'm having a hard time waking up for my classes. I set an alarm clock the loudest it can go and set my alarm on my cell phone, but I always turn the alarm clock off in my sleep and ignore my phone. When I do wake up, I'm still half asleep and convince myself that I can skip my class or sleep a little longer. :(
I go to bed at 12:00 every night and wake up around 7:00. I also takes naps sometimes during the day, so it's not like I don't get enough sleep.

Answer 1

Actually, it probably is. Try hitting the sack at 11 instead of 12.

Also, try drinking coffee or even Mountain Dew, something that is high in caffeine. And try eating good healthy meals rather than sugary quicky microwave things. And make sure you drink enough water: Fatigue is one sign of mild dehydration.

Are you sleeping well? Is your mattress supporting you right? If not, you might be waking during the night- though not enough to actually remember it. And that will cause you to be tired.

As a college student, I know that it will be hard for you to get a good meal. Let me share a recipe with you that you can use if you have a crock pot.

leftover meat (any kind but fish), diced
1 onion, chopped
vegetables, any kind
1 envelope garlic instant mashed potatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can canned tomatos
to taste, add oregano, more garlic, basil, 1 bay leaf, and even add tarragon for a bit of a zing
water to about an inch below the rim of your crock pot

Stir everything together, then let simmer on low while you're in class. By the time you're ready to eat, dinner will be waiting.

For variation, try adding carrots, green pepper, celery, or salsa.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Try going to bed earlier, maybe around 10 or 11 instead of midnight. Some people need more sleep than average.

Also, avoid caffeinated drinks in the evening. If you can find some flavors you like, drinking some warm herbal tea before bed might help you relax enough to fall asleep.

Try to avoid doing things in bed other than sleep - no TV, no laptop, no texting or cell phone usage; maybe just reading a few pages of a novel to help you relax till you get sleepy.

The first guy's suggestion on moving your alarm clock to a place where you have to get up is a good one, as is setting two alarms - maybe one by the bed and the other across the room.

If this is a persistent problem, consider going to the student health clinic or seeing your doctor.

Good luck!

I had a robust night sleep final night. I very stable one. i became right into slightly disillusioned in myself although, as I deliberate to awaken slightly before to head run. that did not take place. yet, that's been a robust day. i'm a Capricorn, with a Leo moon.

Answer 4

Put your alarm clock in a place that would require you to get out of bed.
