Set a time you want to go to sleep and start a routine at least a half hour before that time.  Do something to help you wind down, like crossword puzzles, or reading a good book.  Get into your PJs and relax.

It really depends on your own needs - some people take naps during the day, others just naturally need more or less sleep.  I have a friend who could sleep 12-16 hours a day if she let herself.  If you find yourself sleeping more than you want, you should be able to slowly change your sleep patterns to something that works better for you.

Go to bed at a decent hour every night.  You need to do this on your weekends as well.  If you can wake up easily when your alarm goes off then you've found the right amount of hours that you need.  \n\nNext add vitamins to your diet. Eat three regular meals as well as healthy snacks between meals.  Plus add a bit of  exercise.    This will keep you energized.  Your body will feel much better.

You should be getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep. I have to have my sleep or I am no good to anyone-at all.

avoid naps by eating apples to keep you awake.  excercise 3-4 hours before "bedtime".  drink water to avoid dehydration but don't drink so much that you have to go to the bathroom.  darkness helps soothe your eyes so does lulling noises like fans.  music may help you, and it may not.  hav a comfortable pillow and blankets.  find a cofortable position.  maybe fetal, on side, on back, legs crossing...\n\nAnyway, hav a good one

A few things.\n\nA doctor can prescribe you Melatonin which can help to regulate your physiological sleep cycles. You can occasionally take sleeping pills at first to set off better consistent sleeping patterns. Eating breakfast and working out in the morning can also help. Finally, your eating schedule can effect your sleeping patterns as well, so you should try to create a standard schedule for your meals (if you eat three a day minimum for example, eat at 6AM-noon-6PM).\n\nBehaviorally, you need to set your alarm at the same time every day and, at first for a month or so, wake up at that time on your off days as well. To jump start it all, I might suggest staying up 24 hours and not to allow yourself to take a nap or sleep until what you think is your desired bed time. Additionally, avoid taking naps until you consistently go to sleep and wake up at the same time. You know you can start taking naps or sleep in during the weekend, when for about a month straight, you wake up at the desired time without the alarm clock.\n\nHope that helps.

Unfortunately, you find what most people who work these hours do, and it is just your body reacting to an abnormal wake/sleep cycle you are on.\n\nOur bodies are designed to sleep at night and be awake in the day. Since you are doing the opposite, you will have these problems. Many people don't stay on this schedule for long, I suggest you consider your options to save your health in the long run.\n\nTo help you in the mean time, I suggest using your mind; cross word puzzles, math problems, reading a subject that is exciting in a positive way, etc. Also, taking a walk for a few minutes helps to circulate blood to the brain, do some slow deep breathing too while walking. Don't eat big, heavy meals that are fatty in nature, those will make you sleepy. Eat light healthy meals, this will help you to not feel full and then get sleepy.

There are several things that may affect your sleep problem.\n\nTry and relax before u go to bed, dont work-out excersice. take a shower, that helps to relax ur muscles. Avoid watching Television right before u sleep, try and avoid eating sweet. Also dont drink any ligquid right before u go to bed. Do u have a nice comfortable bed? if not get one. Sometimes a mattress pad works better than a new mattress.\nReading really helps me sleep faster. Try and take atleast an hour before u go to sleep to shower and unwind.
