How do I fall asleep and stay asleep?

Question

I keep going to sleep at a good time because I get tired at that time. BUT, I went to sleep at around 9:30, and woke up at 11:30, and now I'm wide-awake, and probably won't fall back asleep until 5:30 in the morning, be woken up at nine, and sneak back into bed and have naps on and off till 2 in the afternoon. I start school on MONDAY, and today's THURSDAY, tomorrow's Friday. PLEASE help, It's already affecting my health, I feel like I want to barf and I feel gross all the time and everything always hurts. Help!

Answer 3

Try going to bed a little later, so that you aren't trying to force 11 1/2 hours into sleep. On average, you probably only need 7-8 hours of sleep to regenerate your body.

Taking deep breaths in bed helps.

It sounds like you might have slight insomnia. Stress and something upsetting can also cause. You might want to check with your doctor on what might be going on.

Plus, try not to sleep at all during the day because it will then take away from the hours you should be sleeping at night.
