So I've been having trouble sleeping because I always stay up late in the summer and I want to get back in my school sleeping schedule before high school starts up. But because I would stay up late my body won't let me sleep when I want to and when I finally do pass out I end up sleeping in till noon or later. This ends up starting the whole cycle again and I'm really starting to be wearied down...
Plz send help.

The solution is to move bed time about an hour earlier each night. The body can only shift it's biological clock about an hour a day so when you need to shift it, it's best to do it over time. When I know I am going to travel and cross time zones, I will shift to the new time zone a few days before I travel. Often it works out better for me to do it before I travel rather than deal with it after I make the trip.

If that does not work, a nice relaxing herbal tea can help sometimes.

Also, if you are like me at all, putting the phone/tablet down or at least on to nightshift can help a lot.

Ironically, despite that I am not in school for...cough...a while ;P ...I am in a similar boat to you at the moment. After having been laid off at the beginning of June I have been taking my first "Summer Vacation" in...all the years.. But now its time to get serious, I can not be a night owl....as I sit on here at nearly 1 in the morning.

Good luck!
