How can i get to bed earlier?

[aimn]

Start getting up at 6am and stay up for the day. Come 9pm, you will be able to sleep just fine.

Stay awake one day, that one day will be hellish but u will end up sleeping very early that day(around 8pm) and try to follow that schedule or change it accordingly.

Go to sleep sooner

Get some exercise.
I had the same problem, so I started running a couple miles a day. I'm out by 11:00.

I suffer from insomnia, and my sleep schedule often gets screwed up like this. After 20 or so years of this, I've found only ONE thing works. Forcing myself not to sleep during the day, no matter how little sleep I got the night(s) before.

You cannot break your sleep schedule by sleeping, only by staying awake. This is how you broke it in the first place, most likely.

You MUST make a pact with yourself, and stick with it. Absolutely no sleeping between 7am and 8PM. (adjust for your work schedule) This allows you to go to bed as early as you want to make up for lost sleep the night(s) before, but it does not allow you to sleep during the time periods that will disrupt your sleep cycle.

And yes, as soon as you correct your sleep schedule, you MUST make up those lost sleep hours. Sleep is like a credit account. If you lose some, you gotta pay it back, or it adversely affects your health.

are you depressed? if so seek assistance. inability to sleep can be associated with significant depression.

i say go w/ the melatonin... i bought some at a GNC, it was a tropical falvored liquid, 2 drops under the tongue and it makes you WANT to go to sleep... doens't knock you out or anything, just puts the natural "hey i'm tired" drug into your system

if you are surrounded by lots of lights when it's dark outside, your body won't produce the melatonin to make you tired, hence the dietary supplent will make you genuinely tired

You prolly have to much on your mind.......

turn off your computer... turn off the TV..

Try Reading a book ... guaranteed to put you to sleep.
