Sleeping Patterns.

[AlexOC]

Well my sleeping pattern is just slightly wrong.

I go to sleep on school nights at about 1am, Then have to really forced myself to get up at about 8 am. Then in school i am reallllyyy tired. Then i get home and sometimes i fall asleep (i got up 10 minutes ago today) Then i can't go to sleep any earlier than 1am because i am not tired because i have just slept.

How do i sort this out, i can't go to sleep at like 11pm no matter how hard i try.

On Friday, Sat, Sun go to bed at around 10pm... read a book or something, get your eyes tired and at around 11pm you should feel dead.

Good luck!

Ahh see, on friday and saturday night i will get to bed at around 3am or later depending on what i am doing. I want to then be able to go to bed at 10pm on weekdays.

Am i asking too much? Can i just switch like that?

You probably wont be able to switch just like that, but a good idea before going to bed is not to play on the computer or watch TV you should read a book or do alittle homework, because the TV / Computer screens somewhat trick your mind into thinking its daytime.

Damn im a boy at day, and expert CODer by night. I suppose sitting a couple of feet away from my tv whilst shooting people wakes me up slightly.

LOL, slightly? When I play COD I'm screaming because something's chasing me :S

But back on topic, if you do any sport at school that should definately tire you out, it does me and I'm always zonked off when my head touches the pillow on friday after my P.E lesson.
I also REALLY recommend reading a book before you go to bed, I used to do that and fall asleep with it in my hands, but now I quickly fold the page and run to switch off my light and get back into bed without waking myself up too much.
You could just try getting into bed at 11pm and act as though you're going to bed, sometimes when the light's off and everything's quiet it helps me to drift off, and I'm sure you'll fall asleep faster.
I've never really experienced this, I can rely on any book, apart from Dracula, to send me off to sleep.

Work out for 1/2 hours and have a HOT shower afterwards and i promise you you'll sleep without realising.

No idea if anyone has suggested this yet but try not sleeping at all on Friday night and staying up right through the night. The next day you should feel pretty tired and then you can go to bed at about 10-11ish (PM) on Saturday. Set your alarm for something like 10 AM on Sunday then wake up then. Sunday night you should feel pretty tired and go to bed at around 10-11ish and not have too much trouble waking up on Monday morning.
It's a weekend waster sure, but it's worth it if you want to sort out your sleeping pattern.

Good luck!
