This is a good thing.  Now make yourself stay up all day.  Go to bed early tonight and you'll be up bright and early on Monday morning ready to start the week.

Your question is how come it is hard to go to sleep and stay asleep? You then state that you go to bed at 11pm. and have to wake up at 8am. I'm not quite sure what you are exactly asking?! If you mean You try to go to bed at 11pm, but you are still unable to fall asleep til' later. And you are waking up all night, so it is hard for you to stay awake after 8am. You may want to try what my Psychiatrist told me to do. That is Stay awake until you are real tired. Meaning; Stay out of the bed, do things around the house, read a book, or watch the television. When you get real tired force your self to stay up for about thirty more minutes then lye down to go to sleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night get out of the bed, don't look at the clock and walk around or watch the television until you are tired again. When it is time for you to get up get right up, don't lye in the bed for ten more minutes or so. Get Right Up! Make your bed and do not go to your room until it is time. Do not take any naps during the day. This doesn't mean that it will completely cure it, but it does work! You will find that every so often you will still have problem come back, but you just do the routine and you stick with it! You will never have a problem with gettong up on time though. I can tell you that!!

Faster than what?  Try warm milk.  Already did?  Try Tylenol PM.  Did that already?  Get rip roaring drunk.\n\nNo, not praying.  That will only make you worry and keep you up.

Avoid caffeine after lunchtime. Avoid alcohol cos it inteferes with ur sleep pattern. Make sure u do somethign 2 relax yourself 4 at least an hour b4 u go 2 bed, like read a book, watch TV, pray, or whatever makes u 'unwind'. Choose 2 get rid of any anxious thoughts or worry that creeps into ur mind as ur in bed. Sweet dreams X

Realize that sleeping is not something that you have to try to achieve, its something natural that should occur on its own.\nTrying to go to sleep will only keep you more awake, just lay back, don't think too much and let sleep take over you.\n\nHere's some tips to help you ....\n- Ensure you do not eat anything at-least 2 to 3 hours before bed.\n- If you drink too much coffee or high energy caffine drinks during the day, reduce or try to eliminate them completely. Avoid coffee in the evenings, a cup of tea is better.\n- A cup of hot milk (unsweetened) before bed, should help.\n- A good shower before bed works just as fine.\n- Make sure your bed is comfortable, and the temperature in your room is set to a comfortable setting to your body.\n- If there are any external noises distracting you from sleeping, do something about it to ensure its quiet and peaceful.\n- When laying on your bed. Focus on your breathing. If you find your mind drifting to thoughts, slowly bring your attention back to your breathing.\n- Before bedtime, DO NOT engage yourself in an activity that may get you excited, such as reading a book or watching an engaging TV show, this will only make u more alert. However if it relaxes you, then its fine.\n\nHope these tips help.

gave yourself a pattern in sleeping- if you're usually asleep at 11 pm , then go try being awake after that. you're biological clock could be messed up-\nassociate sleeping by doing some patterns before you go to sleep- washing up- drinking milk- combing your hair .. do not do rigorous exercise before you go to sleep- do calming and soothing activities before the time you intend to sleep-\nand do not force yourself to sleep- all the more you can't sleep that way- let your body relax

The smell of lavender makes me sleepy. If I am pressed for time and need to sleep it has to be dark and I mean turn your alarm clock to the wall dark. As dark as you can make it. No tv, all those flickering lights from the screen in an otherwise dark room seems to really distract the mind and the eyeball. No music, unless you can pinpoint a song that you can kind of tune out and let your mind wander along with. No caffeine or exercise before bed...blah blah blah if all else fails turn on the weather channel.

Set your clock back an hour later so that when you wake up, it's going to be 3am - the witching hour.  Bet you'd get more creeped out!

It takes practice forcing yourself to get up to an alarm without caving to that voice in your head that thinks it's ok to hit snooze. Leave something *unfinished for yourself to pick up on in the morning. Tell yourself as you get into bed that you will get up immediately. Picture yourself getting up in the morning to *finish:\n\n* The Mail\n* The end of a half-watched movie rental\n* A pets feeding \n* Something that needs fixed.\n* Clip your nails of one hand/foot (the one you left for morn)\n* An interesting half-read magazine article\n* Leave swept dust in a dust pan to dump, anything you can leave undone around the house that would drive you nuts.\n* The answer to a riddle you left for the morning \nor some kind of unfinished puzzle game\n* Leave comet in the tub to rinse in the morn\n* Ask someone to write you a note  (you can tell them why)

usually, the more you sleep, the more tired you are, the more sleepy... but if you have been staying up late or working hard this week or so, i think your body is still trying to recharge, try to get some rest, not sleep, this afternoon (because the week-end is still far). a hot bath, some relaxing music, a light healthy meal, then sleep 7 hours, and tomorrow morning, with a healthy breakfast, you will be fresher than ever!!

well you can try having a couple alarms going off at different times and a different locations around the room. When I am really worried about getting up on time I set my alarm clock for say 8am and set the alarm on my cell phone for 2 different times like 7:54 and 7:57 its crazy but it works lol most of all when I set the alarms on both my cell phones and have them repeat every 5 minutes.....\n\nor you can try drinking like 8 glasses of water before going to sleep, that for SURE gets you up....
