[Juicy_J]

Its summer and i have been using the computer very late but now im trying to sleep early around 12pm but im just in bed and end up falling asleep till 5am and waking up at 3pm which is fustrating me!! i need help on how to fall asleep i tryed many things but i dont kow what !!!!!


-not able to sleep right now

 

When I'm unable to sleep I usually listen to soft music on my ipod, or even out of my computer speakers. If I'm home alone I usually turn a movie on low *something boring I don't enjoy* and I fall asleep pretty instant. If none of these work, I've heard warm milk before bed makes you sleepy.

but i feel wide awake

 

Have you tried doing ANY of those? ..

Your brain is probably too active. Do not do anything that requires a lot of thinking like using the computer right before going to bed. Also try to relax your mind before getting onto the bed

Hey Juicy, a trick I've been using that I learned from reddit.
Stay up 24 hours, don't sleep until you find a time you want to constantly go to sleep at. Go to bed @ that time and don't use any alarm or anything. Your body needs to wake up on it's own. This will sorta "reset" your sleeping schedule, and you'll be able to fall asleep and wake up around those times easily.

Do what stickly suggested. Also warm milk, going to the gym and or playing something body intensive is great - if you play any sports. If not, go for a run, something that makes use of your muscles and causes you to feel tired.

Is there anything in your environment that is disturbing you? Noises, neighbors, lights etc?

How I usually fall asleep is get of my computer 30 minutes before bed so my mind has time to relax. Also maybe some random quite noise in the background that you can focus on such as a fan can help as that distracts you from thinking about stuff all night making it much harder for you to fall asleep

i go to gym but like at 7pm

 

Fairly easy fix. You've made a sleep schedule that your body is having a hard time readjusting on its own. Stay up for a full 24 hours and at around 8:00pm on that day exercise or do something body intensive. You'll guaranteed be ready for bed at 12:00 that night set an alarm so you don't oversleep and so that when 12:00 rolls around again you'll be tired.

Do something that has a great physical effort and make you feel tired, then you get home you'll be tired as hell and will want to sleep. It's working with me.

 

You've highlighted the problem all on your own. Using the computer late will keep your brain working away for a while after coming off. If you want to get back in to a normal routine (although admittedly I dont until after summer myself) then maybe when you come back from the gym you should just wind down and not go on the computer. You'll be worn out and tired hopefully and just switch right off when you get in to bed.

Fact.

The bright light the computer emits keeps your mind active.

sucks man im trying to stay awake till 8pm then really really fall asleep

-its 2am

 

Get off your computer.
If you do go to the gym, try and go a little bit earlier, then when you get back, just don't use your computer. (or your phone or anything like that) and make sure your room is dark.
