Reset your sleeping pattern to ensure you get enough sleep before work or school.
It is not uncommon for a sleep pattern to be altered. This can occur because of a late-night outing, for example. A messed-up sleep pattern can be a hindrance since many people have rigidly-structured schedules tied to work or school. Your sleep patterns are largely determined by the amount of light to which you are exposed. Darkness triggers a hormone called melatonin which makes you tired.
Instructions
1. Decide what time you wish to go to bed. Be sure to leave a reasonable amount of time between your bedtime and the time you need to wake -- seven to nine hours of sleep is recommended for an adult.
2. Retreat to your bedroom about half an hour before you want to be asleep. Get ready for bed and make the room dark.
3. Take a Melatonin tablet (optional), get into bed and relax. A hot drink may help you to fall asleep quicker.
4. Repeat the process on a nightly basis, until you naturally become tired at the right time.
