How can I get my sleep back on track before school starts ?

Question:

Lately I've been going to bed around 6 or 7 am, and waking up at 2 or 3 pm. My new school year starts in 5 days, and I'll have to be waking up at 5 or 5:30 in the morning every day. The problem is that for the longest time, I'll just lay in bed for about an hour and a half until I finally fall asleep ! Should I talk to my doctor ? Help !

Answers:
You can talk to your doctor or local pharmacist and ask them about melatonin. It help me regulate my sleep pattern, I took one pill with 30 minutes before going to sleep and everything was fine, in a couple of days I didn't even need it anymore.

"Melatonin is a hormone made by a part of the brain called the pineal (say: "pin-ee-all") gland. Melatonin may help our bodies know when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Melatonin supplements (in pill form) can also be taken. There are two types of melatonin that may be used in these pills: natural and synthetic (man-made). Natural melatonin is made from the pineal gland of animals. This form could be contaminated with a virus and is not recommended. The synthetic form of melatonin does not have this risk. If you are not sure if your melatonin is natural or synthetic, ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking it."

It is never wrong to talk to your doctor.

Also try weaning yourself out of the late going to bed. If you try to fall asleep and cannot get out of bed for a few minutes and then go back to bed later.

what you should do is set an alarm at 11am or 12pm everyday and then stay awake all day. Try doing some sort of activity to tire you out at night. Then after a few days, move that alarm up a few hours until you're back in school mode. Take it from me.it works.

you just going to have to rough it out and stay up til lilke 3am and go to bed the next light go to bed at 1am the next midnight then what evertime you go yo bed
