How to deal with sleeping problems?

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.

  • I tend to do that as well after the holidays. I recommend 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.

  • It sounds like you have a problem to fall asleep but not to actually sleep, since you are sleeping from 2 to 11 every night, which is 9 hours.
    Here is a website with some tips on how to fall asleep:

  • My Dr. has me on Ambien cr,12.5 MG Tablets, and they work fine for me. I though i would see if they really worked about a month ago and did not take a pill before bed time, and i went right to sleep and slep for about 1 1/2 hrs and was awake the rest of the night, so i never fail to take a tablet every night when i lay down. Ask your dr. about this med.

  • I have been taking 5 mg. of ambien every night for 12 years. It has been a miracle drug for me. My bedtime is between 11:00 and 12:00 PM. I take my "pill" about 15 minutes before turning TV off and sleep really well until 7:00 or 8:00 AM. Never have side effects.
