sleep problems..

Ok so I need this URGENTLY!!! I've been unable to get proper sleep as I have been staying up until 4-6am and waking up in the afternoons (besides Sunday since they torture me at churchLOL), Anyhoo...school starts in 10, TEN DAYS!!!! And I need some tips! I'm gonna start reducing my screen time so I won't be distracted by it. But I do have a hard time falling asleep...Do I need melatonin or do I need to do something that'll tire me out???? I don't know pls send ur tips!

I usually force myself to wake up early over and over again until I am forced to sleep early instead of later. Another thing I do is wake up at 6, drink lots of water and then go back to sleep to wake up at 8. 

You could do it slowly. First waking up at 11, then the next day 10, then 9 then 8 then 7 then 6. Always setting the wake up time back slowly the next 10 days. 

Before sleep drink lots of water so in the morning you're forced to leave your bed for the bathroom. 

Another thing some people do (I don't) is stay up all day and not sleep for one night so they can sleep earlier next day. I don't recommend this. 

I hope this helps!

I'm having the same problemm. It sucks fr but its also our responsibility to fix it. Cutting ur screentime is a good start. I would say one by one if u rly aren't able to sleep early bc ur brain is used to that schedule, try to sleep whenever u go to sleep but then force urself to wake up earlier than u usually do. Ur gonna be rly tired yes but it'll help bc ur gonna stay up all day & then when night comes ull be tired enough to fall asleep at a decent time. I've tried this before & it worked. Hopefully this helps!!
