How do I sleep early so that I can wake up early for a scuba dive?


Question:
I've been going to sleep around 1-3 each night for almost 2 to 3 years and waking up at about 11-12 the next day, and whenever I have classes and have to wake up earlier (about 8ish maybe) I would get kind of sick.. I would loose my appitite and get bad stomach aches, the other problem I have is because im so used to goin to sleep so late, if I tried to sleep early at maybe 10-12 I would start tossing and turning and no matter what iv tried I just can't fall asleep till almost 1-2, plus because I try to force myself to sleep, I wake up multiple times at night which makes my early morning even worse then usual

the main problem is im getting certified for scuba and I have a dive that I need to wake up at 5 in the morning to be able to get to the boat, and im afriad the sick thing I get in the mornings will prevent me from being able to dive so should I try a sleeping pill or any tips on being able to sleep earlier and acually fall asleep? (need a quick fix since dive is in 1 - 2 weeks

Answers:
I guess that your body has gotten used to the fact that you sleep so late and wont want to wake up until you got that many hours of sleep. Since your dive is in a week or two, i suggest you try sleeping like a 1/2 to an hour earlier every day... even when you cant sleep, close your eyes and lay still in bed. Also, get an alarm clock set so you can wake up a bit earlier everyday. Before you sleep, also make sure your not stressed out and have a full stomach help you sleep better.
Before going to bed... just pray in your heart , God plz wake me up at "the time you want to get up"
and repeat it three times
Trust me you will be up at that time.
if not hang me to death.
force urself to fall aslep, if u cant around 11, then take tylenol pm or benedryll or a sleeping pill. good luck!
Just stay awake all night. If you usually go to bed at 2:00, 5:00 is just 3 more hours.
I have scuba dived for five years and I would strongly not reccomend taking sleeping pills the night before. Exercise more during the day but not right before you go to sleep. Your sickness will affect diving only if your sinuses are messed up. You can puke into your regulator and it'll be totally fine just purge it after. Going to sleep 30 minutes earlier each day is a good idea. It'll also help if you make a nightly routine and don't stray from it. Don't play on the computer or watch TV and then try to go to bed.
