Can some one help me with my sleeping problem?
im 17, and for the past few years i have a hard time sleeping, i go to bed at 10 pm. and get up for school at 6:30, the weekends are usually 11 pm. and 10 a.m. No matter what time i go to sleep during the week, i dont have energy for the rest of the day, which causes a lot of problems with work and school, obviously, ive tried some antidepresant (was supposed to calm my mind down before i go to bed) it worked but messed with my mind way too much, made me depressed, and even less energetic than not sleeping, if any one has any suggestions (besides going to bed earlier, it doesnt work) please help, this has gone on too long
my problem isnt waking up early, its the actual sleeping part, its doesnt really matter when i get up, i just dont have energy

Here are some tips on how to rise early
* Don’t make drastic changes. Start slowly, by waking just 15-30 minutes earlier than usual. Get used to this for a few days. Then cut back another 15 minutes. Do this gradually until you get to your goal time.
* Allow yourself to sleep earlier. You might be used to staying up late, perhaps watching TV or surfing the Internet. But if you continue this habit, while trying to get up earlier, sooner or later one is going to give. And if it is the early rising that gives, then you will crash and sleep late and have to start over. I suggest going to bed earlier, even if you don’t think you’ll sleep, and read while in bed. If you’re really tired, you just might fall asleep much sooner than you think.
* Put your alarm clock far from you bed. If it’s right next to your bed, you’ll shut it off or hit snooze. Never hit snooze. If it’s far from your bed, you have to get up out of bed to shut it off. By then, you’re up. Now you just have to stay up.
* Go out of the bedroom as soon as you shut off the alarm. Don’t allow yourself to rationalize going back to bed. Just force yourself to go out of the room. My habit is to stumble into the bathroom and go pee. By the time I’ve done that, and flushed the toilet and washed my hands and looked at my ugly mug in the mirror, I’m awake enough to face the day.
* Do not rationalize. If you allow your brain to talk you out of getting up early, you’ll never do it. Don’t make getting back in bed an option.
* Have a good reason. Set something to do early in the morning that’s important. This reason will motivate you to get up. I like to write in the morning, so that’s my reason. Also, when I’m done with that, I like to read all of your comments!
* Make waking up early a reward. Yes, it might seem at first that you’re forcing yourself to do something hard, but if you make it pleasurable, soon you will look forward to waking up early. A good reward is to make a hot cup of coffee or tea and read a book. Other rewards might be a tasty treat for breakfast (smoothies! yum!) or watching the sunrise, or meditating. Find something that’s pleasurable for you, and allow yourself to do it as part of your morning routine.
* Take advantage of all that extra time. Don’t wake up an hour or two early just to read your blogs, unless that’s a major goal of yours. Don’t wake up early and waste that extra time. Get a jump start on your day! I like to use that time to get a head start on preparing my kids’ lunches, on planning for the rest of the day (when I set my MITs), on exercising or meditating, and on reading. By the time 6:30 rolls around, I’ve done more than many people do the entire day.
Hope it might help.

The synthetic mild from the pc display (or even your telephone) can minimize melatonin (the sleep hormone) construction to your frame. Try taking a melatonin suppliment. I take 1mg melatonin on nights that I cannot sleep and it really works like a appeal! The most effective downfall to taking melatonin is if you are taking it each and every night time your frame gets used to it and you are going to have got to expand how so much you are taking. I attempt to most effective take it every now and then. I additionally love sizzling tea containing camomile to support me calm down. Sleepy Time Tea with honey is special. :)
