they have safe sleep aids that help u fall asleep faster

buy a new alarm clock

start going to bed at 9pm

set it for 5:30 so u can have time to take a shower,eat breakfast

so u can get some caffeine in u too

Answer 2

When I need to wake up at 6:30 which is really rare cuz my school starts at 8:00, I usually find a reason for me to wake up at that time and I do wake up at that time. Just get excited about something that'll happen the next day and you'll get up at 6:30. Hope it works for you!  

Answer 3

You can tire yourself out during the day, like by exercising or though heavy studying. If you have insomnia, you can get medication, but it doesn't sound like you have it. You can set another alarm, a very, VERY loud one, and keep it far away from you, so when you have to press the button to quiet it, you don't immediatly fall back asleep. You can then jump into a cold shower and start your day!

Answer 4

Set two alarms. Try getting an old fashioned one, they're extremely loud and very annoying, the bells will almost surely wake you up. Try getting up at like 8 or 9 for a few days, you should be able to get to sleep earlier. Then, your body will just start waking up early on its own. Even if you have to set the alarm for 6 every morning and you don't get up til 630, it's better than sleeping through school..

also, once you find an alarm that wakes you, put it in a place where you have to physically get up out of bed to turn it off... that way you HAVE to get out of bed  

Answer 5

Still use the alarm clock, but make sure that it's loud and on an annoying channel so that you just don't enjoy what you hear, but have no choice but to get up and shut the thing off.  Which reminds me, put the clock OUT OF REACH so that you have to get up and shut it off.

Hope this helps,

Answer 6

What type of activities are you doing before 9:30?  If you're drinking colas or coffee or chocolate or anything with Caffeine, that will definitely keep you awake.  I think you should drink some warm milk before 9:30 since that should make you a bit drowsy.

Answer 7

I get up at the same time for school and what I do is have more than one alarm so if i turn it off it just goes again untill i wake up. It seems to work for me. I also get an early night so i'm not tired the next day. I hope this helps.  

Answer 8

Number 1...don't watch TV in bed..I'm assuming you are around 16 and at your age you need 8 hours of sleep (U.S. statistic for 16 year olds)  

Don't go to bed until you are ready to sleep.

Try to meditate for 10 minutes before getting into bed, turn off the lights, sit down and clear your mind....

TELL YOURSELF you will wake up at the designated time, your mind is stronger than any alarm clock...Try this for 7 days and you will soon be able to self regulate your inner alarm clock...

Answer 9

Get more exercise so you are tired when you go to bed and you will fall asleep faster and sleep better.  Set an alarm clock on the loudest setting and put it across the room - set it on an empty box to amplify the buzzer if you are a heavy sleeper.  

Answer 10

Practice, Even sleep can take practice, try going to bed earlier, just to hear that alarm, and after a while of waking up at 6:30 you can get used to it, and you will start doing it when you need to. ;-)

Answer 11

Put your alarm clock across the room so you literally have to get up to turn it off.

What even helps better to get yourself up is to chug a glass of water first thing

It works for me.  

Answer 12

Try relaxing before going to bed by maybe listening to some calming music or drinking some type of tea or warm milk. My friend also has a sleep problem and she's taking some pills for it but the pills are all natural and she said that they're working great but still allow her to get up at around 6 for school.

Good Luck!!

Answer 13

i am a heavy sleeper, so i bought an old fashion alarm clock. these are loud and it wakes me up. take a look.

http://www.clockstyle.com/alarm-clocks/b...

its a clock like this but you can buy it from walmart.

Answer 14

It will come naturally, once your body starts to wake up early the sleep will catch up to you and you will fall asleep waay faster and earlier.  

Answer 15

go to bed earlier, adding 15 more min earlier a night till you are falling asleep earlier than 12 and set an alarm for several intervals...like 4 or five times (I set my alarm on my cell phone since I can set multiple alarms) and set the alarm away from your bed so you have to actually get out of bed to shut it off.

Answer 16

If you going to bed at 9:30 but only falling asleep around 12 then you need to start calming down about an hour before your going to get into bed.

About an hour or two before 9:30 turn all the computer or whatever you were doing & either have a bath, or a warm drink and read a book or something that calms you down. Therefore when you go to bed your more likely to fall alseep and not have an active mind.

If your alarm isnt waking you up why dont you get a member of your family to wake you up for the first week so you can get your body into the routine of getting up early.

Answer 17

you can go to bed earlier and try to wake up as eraly as you can- i dont do my alarm clock- but turn it up as loud a possible and sleep CLOSE to it. or make the radio wake you up and put it on to where its all fuzzy and loud- tht always wakes me up

Answer 18

First you will need a good nights rest in order to get your body to wake up in the morning without falling back to sleep.  

To sleep earlier, do activities during the day that gets your body tired... don't just stay by your computer or TV all day, you have to be active.  Your body will feel exhausted and WANT to rest... second, during bedtime, one of the main reasons ppl have trouble sleeping is becuase htey have too much on their mind.  This constant thinking leaves your brain working not relaxed... My routine is playing a repetitive game that last forever, (ie. Monopoloy on my phone)... the fact that is a boring game make me knock out before i finish the game... try something similar.

Now, to wake up in the morning, set your alarm to ring 30 mins ahead, or try setting it to the highest volumn using the loudest ringer you have than add a vibration to it... maybe the volumn and the vibration combined will help you wake up on time.  

Answer 19

exercise when you wake up or during the day... not close to bedtime (more than 3 hours before bedtime).  that will help tire you out and you will fall asleep faster at bedtime.  i find i sleep better when i exercise regularly.

if you dont like that...

try reading a book at bedtime.... go to bed at 9pm, read for 20-25 minutes, then put it down, turn off the light and close your eyes... if your mind is racing... keep your eyes closed and count 1, 2, 3          1, 2, 3 over and over, slowly in your head.  try to focus on the count. it sometimes works for me when my mind wont stop running.      

Answer 20

I learned this along time ago it worked for me maybe it will work for you.  Tell your body that you want to wake up at 6:30 in the morning before you go to sleep. Like right before you go to sleep remind your body that your wake up time is 6:30.

As far as going to bed but not falling asleep until later, you may want to look at what you're eating and drinking before you go to sleep. Are you drinking stuff with a lot of caffeine in it? If so you may want to stop drinking pop and other caffeinated drinks around 3 or 4 in the after noon. Maybe try drinking some herbal tea (a lot of herbal teas don't have caffeine in them) before you go to sleep.  Also try to make sure your mind is clear before you go to sleep if you have too much on your mind it can be harder to fall asleep.  

Answer 21

it takes time to adjust to a new sleeping routine

go to sleep early like at nine..

no exceptions

do ur homwork early

as soon as u get home

and if it takes u awhile to fall asleep

take some sleeping pills or stay very very still while ur in bed!

is because i keep on tossign and  turning..but when i stop

i tend to fall asleep faster..

do some activity in the day to wear you out

so u can fall asleep too.

i hope this helped.

Answer 22

Well you need to set an alarm sound that will wake you up and get you up. Maybe set a noise that will wake you but set the alarm on a dresser not directly near your bed so you have to get up to turn it off. Also, if you are having trouble falling asleep, make sure you dont drink any caffeine after 5pm and also watching tv in bed actually doesnt help your brain settle down, it makes it more awake!

Answer 23

1. Get several alarm clocks and set them between certain intervals, like 5 min. apart

2. Start trying to set your alarm clock slightly earlier than usual, not too much probably 30 min at max

3. Find out what you're doing before you go to sleep: exercise pumps adrenaline into the body and can keep you awake for hours; caffinated food and drinks keep you up at night too.

All are options you can try. If one does not work, try all three.

Answer 24

well if you drink lots of water before you go to bed then when your alarm goes off when you wake up you will need to toilet, (no lie it does work) this stops you from falling back to sleep and once out of bed you can stop yourself getting back in.

To fall asleep i guess you could try drinking hot  chocolate, tea, or just getting as comfortable as possible.

Also the whole not going to sleep until 12, most people go to bed and watch tv for a couple of hours, soon they lose track of time and they end up going to sleep real late, to solve this you can set yourself a limit and put an alarm on your clock or phone, when it goes off you can go to sleep, but if you do the things i advised you to do to get to sleep then this shouldnt be a problem. xx

hope this helps. thanks

Answer 25

get a bunch of alarm clocks and set them each ten minutes apart and put them in different places all over your room it forces you to get up and turn them all off before they go off. and by the time you do it you're already up. also you can make a water gun alarm clock. here's a link to the video that teaches you how to make it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpWEuOJQY...

they also have alarm clocks the are like propeller things and to turn your alarm off you have to chase it around your room and put it back on the clock. there are ones that go off and when you press snooze they climb off what ever its on and hide somewhere in your room its a robot and its sooo cool

Answer 26

I put my cell phone on vibrate and tuck it under my sports bra and that always wakes me up, without waking up my boyfriend. As for falling alseep just go for a run first, or smoke a joint (jk).

Answer 27

go to bed earlier so you can fall asleep earlier. and try to use your cell phone alarm .

Answer 28

Get like 3 alarms to go off.

Also do this thing on your mobile or watch where the alarm goes off every 5 minutes. This really annoys me and i have just gotta wake up.

Also get someone to wake you up if they are up that early.

Answer 29

Reduce your caffeine intake. Colas and chocolate have enough caffeine to keep you awake at night. Essentially, don't have anything with caffeine after it gets dark.

Answer 30

I had trouble sleeping when I was in middle school and high school, on up to about 21. So did most of my friends, so did my daughter. It's really a normal thing for that age. Don't worry about it, it only makes it worse.

Everyone has a different sleep schedule and need. And it changes sometimes, especially according to season and amount of sunlight.

Obviously, right now your body isn't ready to sleep when you go to bed at 9:30. Reading might help. I take magnesium 250m before bed-it relaxes the nerves.

A good exercise to do while you're in bed is go from your feet to your head and try to tighten every muscle as tight as you can. Count to 10 then release. This relaxes your muscles also.

Get a more reliable alarm clock, and set it to the highest volume, and a station of music you hate. This always works for me because I can't move fast enough to shut it off, lol. If you have a cell phone that has an alarm function, set that one too.

Answer 31

easy...if you wake up a half hour after it has gone off set it for six. voila....you have just gotten up at 6:30 am!

or you it could be that you are used to the alarm sound. try setting your alarm for talk radio. the sudden sound of people talking in your room should jolt you awake!!
