Loading ...How do you fall asleep earlier?
I have developed a bad habit where I go to sleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. It is because of school work…I procrastinate and waste my time listening to music…watching tv..using computer (the biggest problem). Even if I finish homework at 12:00, I can’t fall asleep because I’m used to 2:00. I’m not sleepy at school (I wake up at 7)…I’m used to this. But I know its unhealthy.
I come home and take a nap….which is also unhealthy because I have one messed up sleep routine.
How can I fall asleer earlier…and faster? (I sometimes lay in my bed for an hour before falling asleep)
Should I exercise so I am tired and fall asleep or what? Thanks.

Definately should not work out before bed, it raises body temp and makes it worse.
No caffeine for 6-8 hours before bed.
Set a time to be off your computer at least an hour or two before you wish to go to sleep, and find something less stimulating to wind down with…say a book.
No TV or reading in bed (that is official from sleep specialists, but I have had good luck with reading in bed, however, it can end up “training” your body further to not sleep but to be awake reading while in bed).
Avoid the nap in the afternoon, this will make you sleepy earlier. You can even try waking up as little as 30 min ealier in addition to missing the nap.
Do your homework once you get home and save your recreation to follow.
If you lie awake thinking about the next days events, then write those things down an hour before bed to get it out of your head so you won’t have to think about it.
If after correcting multiple behaviors, many of which you already know your doing badly, you are still having problems getting to sleep. You may wish to seek out professionals at a sleep lab to be tested for any possible sleep disorder or, at the least, to get further advice.
