Usually i sleep at 12am, but i wanna sleep at like 10:30 now, but when i try I can't and end up sleeping at like 12am. Any help?

[+MyLord]

play soft music, turn off computer, avoid late night dota, do tonnes of sports during the day, sleep really late one night and the night after you will sleep early, avoid coffee or tea before sleep, take sleeping pills, shower before sleep, anything -.- you gotta try what helps you the most >_< pretty much all my techniques xD

anyway when you sleep at 12, what time do you wake up for school? 12 isn't really that late imo..

i myself have this biological clock thingy that puts me into sleep really easy and wakes me up just in time for everything, it's just set inside my body x] i can sleep whenever i like, and still have as much energy for the day. i think my body is better suited for a 30 hours day =.=

[yam]

I wake up at 8am :P, lol i tried sleeping at 10:30 again zzz

[+MyLord]

8 am.. thats quite >_> i wake up at 6:45 every morning poor me -.-

also i've seen my grandma do some tai-chi or yoga thing before sleep, maybe they help? also sometimes it' as simple as removing small things that make sleeping less than perfectly comfortable for you. try changing the bedding, or test a different bed if possible, get a really nice soft blanket, nothing that itches, make sure your room doesn't have any smells that might be bugging you, even if you're used to them, maybe you need less noise, or maybe you need something that makes background noise like a fan

Found some of this one some websites... Wish it will help up..

1. Get on schedule. Varying your sleeping times by more than an hour can severely disrupt your sleep quality by "advancing the sleep phase". For example, let's say you normally wake up at 7 a.m. on weekdays to get to work, so you get to bed around 11 p.m. because that's when you start to feel sleepy, and it's also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If on the weekend you sleep in until 9 a.m., you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m. Then, you probably won't want to wake up the next morning until 10 a.m., in which case it will start getting very difficult to fall asleep at 11 p.m. again. In other words, your body thrives on running on a routine; erratic sleeping sessions will interfere with your internal "biological clock."

2. Sleep on an empty stomach. Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion doesn't work well while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Do not eat heavy foods for the few hours prior to sleep. Switch to decaf coffee and avoid tea, cocoa and cola drinks, because caffeine can keep you awake even if you drank it earlier in the day. Avoid tobacco products in evenings as well. While alcohol will make you feel sleepy, it will reduce sleep quality. If you find your stomach grumbling for contents and keeping you awake, have a light snack about an hour before bedtime. Stick to milk, turkey and peanuts, which all contain chemicals that help the brain relax.

3. Keep the room dark. Exposure to light during the time you're supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body's internal cycles. This has been documented in studies surrounding circadian rhythms. Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light. Pull curtains across, blinds down or shut the shutters, to prevent outdoor lights from shining on you. If you wake up and see any kind of bright light, you'll have a much harder time falling back asleep. Try to eliminate all sources of light, including from windows, LED clocks and cable boxes, by covering them with heavy paper or cloth covers, or blue tack.

4. Change your sleeping position. You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what your doing, but it is possible and can make a big difference. When you go to sleep, or when you wake up in the middle of the night, make a conscious effort to follow these guidelines until it becomes habitual:

5. Maintain your mattress. Turn the mattress over every few months. Replace it after 5-7 years of regular use. If you feel springs or ridges beneath the surface when you're lying on the bed, or you and your partner roll to the middle of the bed unintentionally, it's time to go mattress shopping. You can also tell that the mattress may be the culprit if you find yourself sleeping well in another bed.

6. Exercise. If you have a sedentary job, a lack of physical exertion may be reducing the quality of your sleep. The human body uses sleep to repair and recover. If there isn't much to recover from, your body's sleep cycle could be disrupted. A day of physical exertion (such as taking a run or a swim) or, better yet, regular exercise can make for deeper and more sleep.

7. Make note of unusual circumstances. If you are not sleeping well, there could be many reasons for it, such as stress, certain illnesses, or maybe something you heard or saw which traumatized you. Is there any recent event or change in circumstances that has been troubling or preoccupying you? This issue may be following you subconsciously and interfering with your sleep. If the issue itself cannot be addressed or resolved directly, consider employing relaxation techniques such as meditation.

8. Visit your doctor. If you are concerned that you may have a sleep disorder, tell your doctor. Some of the most common sleep disorders are insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), restless legs syndrome (RLS), narcolepsy, parasomnias, and even heartburn (acid reflux). If you are indeed suffering from and diagnosed with any of these conditions, your doctor will recommend treatment accordingly.

How to Sleep Better - wikiHow

[Bigtime]

If u regularly sleep at a specific time, e.g. 12 AM, your body is more suited to that time where it relaxes - therefore when you change your sleeping time, you are not following your normal routine, so your body/brain is not used to it. Thats the same as me too lol.

Poor you? I wake up at 5am to make it to school.

I listen to music and that usually makes me fall asleep. Or I smoke a blunt. But sometimes if I toke up I end up munching and then before I know it 3hrs have passed and I'm even more ****ed.

[+MyLord]

LOL ye poor us .

There's that one pill named Lustenia or something that usually helps sleep.

There's a way to change it, but I would consider it hard. Don't sleep for 24hrs.. and wait the exact time you want to go to sleep, it usually works because your body will be very exhausted by than.
