Answer 1

Getting too much sleep can make you feel tired as well. try cutting back your sleep to 7 or 8 hours and see if that helps any. Also, make sure you are getting good, deep sleep. If you're not sleeping well, or are beiing interrupted in your sleep, it won't do you as much good.

Here are some things that may help you to sleep better:

Set a regular bedtime. Going to bed at the same time each night signals to your body that it's time to sleep. Waking up at the same time every day can also help establish sleep patterns. So try to stick to your sleep schedule even on weekends. Don't go to sleep more than an hour later or wake up more than 2 to 3 hours later than you do during the week.

Exercise regularly. Try not to exercise right before bed, though, as it can raise your body temperature and wake you up. Sleep experts believe that exercising 5 or 6 hours before bedtime (in late afternoon) may actually help a person sleep.

Avoid stimulants. Don't drink beverages with caffeine, such as soda and coffee, after 4 PM. Nicotine is also a stimulant, so quitting smoking may help you sleep better. And drinking alcohol in the evening can also cause a person to be restless and wake up during the night.

Relax your mind. Avoid violent, scary, or action movies or television shows right before bed — anything that might set your mind and heart racing. Reading books with involved or active plots may also keep you from falling or staying asleep.

Unwind by keeping the lights low. Light signals the brain that it's time to wake up. Staying away from bright lights (including computer screens!), as well as meditating or listening to soothing music, can help your body relax.

Don't nap too much. Naps of more than 30 minutes during the day may keep you from falling asleep later.

Avoid all-nighters. Don't wait until the night before a big test to study. Cutting back on sleep the night before a test may mean you perform worse than you would if you'd studied less but got more sleep.

Create the right sleeping environment. Studies show that people sleep best in a dark room that is slightly on the cool side. Close your blinds or curtains (and make sure they're heavy enough to block out light) and turn down the thermostat in your room (pile on extra blankets or wear PJs if you're cold). Lots of noise can be a sleep turnoff, too.

Wake up with bright light. Bright light in the morning signals to your body that it's time to get going.

Typical Sleep Needs

Group



Amount of Sleep Needed

Infants



About 16 hours per day of sleep

Babies and toddlers



From 6 months to 3 years: between 10 and 14 hours per day. Infants and young children generally get their sleep from a combination of nighttime sleep and naps.

Children



Ages 3 to 6: between 10 and 12 hours of sleep

Ages 6 to 9: about 10 hours of sleep

Ages 9 to 12: about 9 hours of sleep

Teenagers



About 9 hours of sleep per night. Teens have trouble getting enough sleep not only because of their busy schedules, but also because they are biologically programmed to want to stay up later and sleep later in the morning, which usually doesn’t mesh with school schedules.

Adults



For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep.

Older adults



Older adults are also thought to need 7-8 hours of sleep. However, this sleep may be for shorter time spans, is lighter than a younger adult’s, and may include a nap during the day. See Sleep & Aging for more detailed information.

Pregnant women



During pregnancy, women may need a few more hours of sleep per night, or find that they need small catnaps during the day.

Answer 2

go to bed as early as you can without lying awake all night. Get up at 7:30 am. When you start getting up easier, you can gradually stay up later and later, but make sure you get your 8 hrs. Eventually, your body will be ready to get up between 7:30 and 8:00. I say 7:30 to let your body feel like you've stolen 40 winks and not be late.

Answer 3

invent an alarm clock that as the time goes it slowly tips a bucket of water and it starts dripping at like 745 and then dumps on you at 755 therefore waking you

and put a rubber sheet on your bed

anddddd you wont have to take a shower so you can even get up later

Answer 4

First of all, you can get an alarm clock or use the alarm feature on your cell phone. However, if neither of those options is available to you, then you can try the method my dad taught me to use. He told me that if you wanted to wake yourself up naturally, then before you go to sleep, tell yourself several times what time you need to get up. That makes your subconscience your alarm clock and you'll wake up within 30 min before or after the time you want. So if you want to get up by 8, then tell yourself you need to get up at 7:30 and you should be awake anywhere between 7 and 8.

Answer 5

Read a book and don't drink caffenine after 4 pm.

Answer 6

well...this is what i do. i listen to music before i fall asleep or while im falling asleep. it helps me fall asleep faster. you should try it...it helps some people.

next: set up a couple of alarms. some phones have an alarm clock feature and it lets you set up a few at a time. set up more than one at different time spans. for example set up one at 7:30 and another at 7:45 and finally the last one at 8:00. once you hear the one at 7:30 it kinda lets you know that 8:00 is approaching and the one at 7:45 lets you know to not go back to a full sleep. also...DONT DRINK COFFEE OR COKE ...basically dont drink caffeine.
