15/f

I can barely sleep at night! I go to bed at 8:00 PM hoping to wake up at 5:30 or 6:30 AM so I can get a head start on things but I can't seem to go to bed. I twist and turn like crazy but my bed is really comfortable [its not new and I've slept well in it until 3 months ago] and I think that there is nothing that is subconsciously bothering me. This has has such a pivotal effect on me. I ended up sleeping in class. Before vacation I received 3 detentions for this problem. My mom has resorted to having me go to bed at 7:30. Even then I still don't sleep until about 11:00. I am not aloud to get up and turn on lights or relaxing music because my parents need to go to bed. [they wake up really early]I don't understand what I can do!

How can I sleep earlier and better?

Whoa, I've arranged the same sleep schedule for myself! I'll give you two major tips that allow me to sleep through the night.

1.be active all day long. you need to physically tire yourself out. consider walking twice around the block at a minimum.

2.another thing that used to keep me up was not feeling satisfied with how the day went, so I'd stay up hoping for some fulfillment. at the end of the day, don't leave yourself regretting what was done...do everything to the best of your ability, so you can sleep with a smile on your face.

I hope you'll give these a try!

(Rating: 4) I would rate you a five it is just that I have homework to do on the computer so I cannot be phsically active. If you want, you can edit your answer and I will possibly rate higher:]
