Do you have any tips on getting back on my school schedule?

Question

School is starting soon. I want tips on how to get back at waking up at 6 am. Lately, I have been going to bed at 12 pm. I have been waking up really late too. Also, do you have any tips on getting up and feeling awake and not sleepy??? I HATE that. Don't you?? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I am pretty much in the same situation. I actually have a class before school so I have to wake up an hour earlier. Anyway, I am trying to go to sleep a little earlier (11 instead of 12) and try to wake up a little earlier each time (around 7:30 or 8) I know it will still be a shock getting up at the time I need to for school but it will help to slowly get used to waking up. I suppose I don't need much sleep because I am only sleepy for the first 5 minutes or so after I wake up, but I drink something caffeinated in the mornings to help (bad for you, I know)  After my tea or hot chocolate I feel a lot better and more awake.

I think no matter what you will be tired the first few days but then your body will learn to wake up and go to sleep at that time.

One more thing of advice, I used to try to go to sleep a lot earlier so I wouldn't be tired in the morning and I wouldn't be able to fall asleep for 3-4 hours, so I actually lost sleep stressing, so I don't suggest pushing your sleeping time too much.

Hope I could help.
