Many students and even adults struggle with a lack of sleep and not being able to sleep a full 8+ hours a night. I will be explaining a couple of ways to help you improve your sleep schedule and whether you follow these steps is up to you or not. The first thing to do is to adjust the time you go to bed. The best time to go to bed is 9 or 9:30, so you can get a guaranteed 8 hours of sleep depending on what time you wake up the next day. Do this every weekday and especially on weekends. Turn off your phone or TV if you have to, to help you improve your sleep schedule. Make changes to your habits or environment if you think it’ll help you sleep better, try your best to sleep without lights, though some people are able to sleep with lights completely on or with a lamp but sleeping with a bright light can make falling asleep even harder, so sleeping in complete darkness and complete silence will help a lot. Try to clear your thoughts when trying to sleep as that can keep you up. Listen to music or videos with your headphones if that helps clear your mind. Sleeping is a big factor especially for adolescents as sleep improves your body and health such as feeling less angry, having a sharper memory, and it can even improve your body appearance. If you aren’t able to sleep as early as 9 or 9:30 lower your original sleeping schedule by an hour or 2 behind and lower it more every 2 days to help you get slowly used to it.These are all the things that can help you improve your sleep.
