How to get a normal sleep pattern by continuum

"Refreshing! "

How I did it: Basically I tried to go to bed a lot earlier like instead of my usual times of 2 - 4 AM I would try much earlier like hopefully before 12. Also if you've been deprived of sleep the night before you aere more likely to be able to fall asleep, as long as you don't nap!!! DO NOT NAP!!! Napping is not your friend, trust me!!

Lessons & tips: Do NIOT nap because it makes you feel energised so by the tiem your real bedtime comes around you are too awake to fall asleep and then you end up having something like 4 hours sleep which is not enough!! I would also avoid coffee and sleeping in on weekends (trust me I learnt the hard way) because it take you back to square 1

Resources: Green tea and other herbal drinks are great as they are hot amd make you drowsy without the cafeine which is great. A really lush comfy bed is great too :] ;]

I have to nap! I would be dead!

I’m so tired that I could sleep on the floor! I get 4 hours sleep before getting up at 4:30 am. I work 12 hours at the hospital, then I come home to take care of my mom ..dinner, medication, etc. Mom likes to watch the 11pm news. I nap on the sofa for a couple of hours, before taking her to bed at midnight.
Yeah, I know its not an optimal situation, but its what I have to do.
