Sleep problems when going to school how to fix?




Now it’s vacaction and i just go to bed at 24:00 or 02:00 in the morning and wake up at 11:00 or around 12:00 (When i’m bringing the paper around i wake up at 9:30) so now i dont have any problems but in 2 weeks i have to go back to school. Last school year i had some sleeping problems and i had some bad marks because of that because i can’t remember anything of the first lesson that i’ve got. (Also i can’t really keep with the other lessons because sometimes i’m to tired)

I’m 15 years old and i wake up at 7:00, sometimes at 7:45 and i have to leave at 8:00 so i get my cloths on fast and get some bread quickly and sometimes even eat it while i’m going to school on my bike. I go to bed at 22:00 (Sometimes earlyer somtimes later) but it always takes a while before i can sleep most of the times it’s 01:00 and i still don’t sleep. (A few times a month its even 05:00) I don’t get bulled or something and i’ve got a lot of friends.(I don’t have a girl friend if that changes anything) Also i’m a nice person and every one things i’m nice, and i can do things and talk with every one also no one hates me. I don’t do alot and i don’t sport. (I do bring the paper around and i consider that as a sport just like making my movies but i don’t make movies all the time) My parents are also okay, they are nice give me the stuff that i need and i can talk with them. (They also know that i sleep bad)

I eat enough i eat breakfast (not much because i’m not a morning person) mostly at school for lunch i eat 2 big peaces of break or a whole baguette. (If i eat it fast enough)

Also sometimes i wake up during the night all the time i just sleep for 30 minutes and than i’m away again for 1 hour and i sleep again etc. etc.

So maybe someone got a solution for me? I think sleep pills isn’t a option because when i sleep i can hardly wake up from my clock (It’s a cell phone it also vibrates and it ones fell on my head because it went off for such a long time)

Thank you: Sylerr (Christiaan)
If i go to bed at 20:00 i still can’t sleep until 01:00 or something or i keep waking up.
It’s not because of my biological clock when school starts after 4 months i still have the same problem.

This is my last year in middle school and because of my sleep problem i’m ruining my grades. And i want to make my parents proud because they but all the hard word in me.

There’s this job that I’m trying to get that is from 10:30 pm to 6 am. It PAYS, it’s a piece of cake, and I’m more of a night owl than a morning person anyways. However, I don’t see when I would get all my sleep really….. I have school at 1:40pm so I at least need to be awake by 1pm. By the time I drive home and everything from the job, it’d be around 7AM. So I’d have approx 6 hours of sleep (give or take, because I tend to lay there for a long time before I actually fall asleep) before school. Actually probably less than that if I want to eat lunch. I get out of school at 3:15, and home around 3:40 (the traffic is awful). Then sometime in the evening (very flexible and not necessary a specified time I need to be there, but it takes at least 3 hours) I need to go out to the barn and clean stalls (my other job). I don’t necessarily need to do this every single evening, but at least 4 times a week.

So right now my schedule is:

1:40 pm – school
3:15 – get out of school
3:40 – get home
5-8 pm – clean stalls (although again, I don’t do this every single evening, just four evenings a week give or take a few).
3 AM – bed time ;-]

So I do have a lot of free time, however, I don’t know when I would get all my sleep. I would be able to get 5-6 hours of sleep before school, and possible squeeze in 2-3 hours of sleep after school somehow to get my full 8 hours (although I normally like to go for 10 hours or so LOL ;-]
But my problem is, can I still get through enough REM cycles when I split up my sleep into sections like that? a sleep cycle is 90 minutes, correct? I’m just worried that I can’t really split my sleep up like this and still allow my body to go through what it needs to go through during sleep.

BTW I’m an 18 year old female… if my diet is relevant, I’m a vegetarian, and I don’t take vitamins. Oh, and as far as medications, I take Zoloft.
LOL and now it’s gone because someone reported it so you look like your on crack because you’re making a comment about nothing LOL!!!

How do I get better sleep?




I’ve always been nightowl. So I can stay awake for hours at night with no problem. Unfortunately, even if I’ve woken up really early earlier in the day I can’t seem to go to sleep at night. Normally once I hit my bed I’m out like a light. But the trouble isn’t falling alseep, when I’m there I have no problem with that. The trouble is getting into bed. I’m always up doing other things I think I need to take care of. Therefor I totally ruin any rest I need and I feel lousy every morning. And I’ve never been a morning person, even with proper sleep.
Even though I may have gotten only four hours of sleep the previous night I’ll be exhausted in the morning. But once the morning passes I’m energized the rest of the day until really late at night. You would think being up so long and busy all day would tire me out. And I’m not a big pop drinker or anything like that. So I know caffene is not the issue either.
I think I know what the problem is. My work schedule. Some days I have be up at 4am and others I don’t get done until 2am. Thankfully that doesn’t happen back to back. But it is just enough to ruin my sleep schedule. So as much as I’d love to get on a regular schedule. That will never happen. I guess I answered my own question. I love my career to much to change that. Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do about it.

How do I start sleeping early?




I have to start working early really soon, I have to wake up at 5am M-F. I need tips on how to change my sleeping habit ASAP. I’m not really a morning person, I usually sleep around 2-3am and I need 7-8 hours of sleep to function, I would like to start sleeping around 10pm. I am thinking about taking over-the-counter sleeping pills as a last resort, let me know if this is a good or bad idea. Thanks!

I am talking about a person who does not drink any alcohol, use any drugs (legal or illegal), and who has been this way most of their life? Also they are definitely a "morning person" but cannot focus well after about 8 pm and then start to sound naturally drunk by bedtime. (I know this is a sleep disorder because I found it once and now can’t remember what it was).
I am not talking about sleep deprivation. I’m talking about regular and normal hours of sleep, such as 10-6 or 11-7 every night.
I think it may be part of "Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome." Anyone heard of this before? (I have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, the opposite of what I’m talking about here).
