Thread: I'm New, and Have Sleeping Problems...

First and foremost, hello everyone!

Now, down to the point. Actually, two points:

One, as you can tell, I am a night owl, and cannot help but stay up past onish or later. Any suggestions on how to help myself feel tired earlier?

Second, everytime I DO start to fall asleep, I start getting very excited (I excite easily) about trying to enter a lucid dream (I'm currently trying a FILD using Swikity's method) and lose the slight sleepy state I'm in. Help?

Hi! I'm new too.

I have the same problem. I don't sleep until around 7 or 8 am the next morning and don't wake up until 5pm. My schedule is completely flipped.

1.You can try staying up until the next day to regulate your sleep. (Probably not the best idea.)
2. Tire yourself out by working out earlier in the day.

As for the other issue.
Just try to relax, if that doesn't work try camomile tea.

Good ideas. Thanks, I think I'll try them out. And btw, welcome to the forum too.

That happens to me too, I go to sleep at 6 am (thats 40 minutes from now ) .

What I do ...sometimes is to stay awake till 4 or 5 pm, and go to sleep, I wake up the next day at 7am (approximately) . My problem is that instead of going to sleep that day at 8pm (for example) I stay awake, again till 4 am -.-

See, my schedule changes constantly. I can go from being asleep at midnight one night to 4 o'clock other nights (last night). I'm fifteen years old. Is that normal? And how SHOULD I relax and keep my mind away from lucid dreaming while going to sleep?

You should try laying down in the dark at the same time each night. Even if you don't fall asleep your body will get used to it. You can just lay down an whatch TV for a while, just make sure the lights are not on and that you are comfortable. It may help to make yourself wake up earlier and spend most of the day doing physical activity in bright light (or at least stay in tha light at day).

P.S. Welcome!

Firstly there's little point to getting excited about entering a lucid dream in the beginning of the night since your REM will happen only hours later.

The best way to fall asleep earlier at night is to wake up earlier in the morning.

Laying off the video games when it gets closer to bed time will help as well.
