has anyone been able to successfully change their sleeping habits?

I haven't tried really. I just go to sleep an hour earlier these days. My bedtime has been 3:30am forever. But these days I tend to get to bed by 2am.I still only need 3-5 hours. If I get 6 or 7 It is a Great night sleep.

It's really hard for me to change my sleeping habits, as I am usually very busy since I wake up, early in the morning, so when I arrive home I am tired and go to sleep soon. Actually, I think I don't have enough free time to change my sleeping habits, but I would like to be able to sleep everydays until 12 P.M.

Good for you. Actually, it is the most difficult thing to wake up that early, if you can make yourself wake up that early, there's no problem to fall asleep at night. I have tried so many years to change my sleeping, but it's difficult, as I can't wake up earlier, in turn, I would shift my sleeping time. I think you can do a little bit stretching exercises in the morning, or you can exercises you like most, it helps you fall asleep faster and easier at night.

i used to sleep 3am sometimes around 5am but if i want to sleep early like 8pm or 1pm i can easily do that. it really depends to your mind. for me i just get my mind tired by watching online movie or watching tv while lying in my bed around 8pm then i turned off the light then all of a sudden i will feel sleepy. sometimes i just close my eyes and listen to instrumental music in low sound till i fall asleep.

My sleeping habits have been pretty much the same ever since I was a child. I pretty much got into the habit of getting to bed rather early. Sure there were nights where I stayed up a bit more but for the most part, it was in bed by a certain time. Then I get up early in the morning. Then again, there were times where I had woken up much later, but then again for the most part it is pretty much the same time. I doubt I could change my sleeping habits after falling into a set routine for a number of years. My body is just too used to getting into a certain pattern. I don't even know what might happen if I even try to sleep at different times. I doubt it would be any good. That is the reason why I have stuck with a tried and tested schedule over the years. It is extremely difficult to change a sleeping regime after moving into a set pattern.

i have no problem when it comes to sleeping as i can sleep anytime as long as i want it, and if sometimes i still stay awake at night, its because i want it and not because i cant sleep. im a sleepy head so easy for me to sleep anytime and anywhere.

actually it's difficult to change my sleeping habits. but in truth, it's quite quick for me. after one ,two days.. my sleeping habits have been altered already.

I have also adjusted my time to sleep because my hubby's work is in shift and most of the time his home at 2am, so even our eating time is also adjusted. We do sleep in the morning and wake up at 3pm to take our breakfast, imagine that. But when I took a vacation back to my country where it we have 2 and a half hours advance time, i was able to adjust my sleeping hours (took me 1 week) of course. I was thankful for the food supplements that my mom gave me so that my body and mind would be just as relaxed and helped me a lot to sleep better. Now that I am going back again to the same timing that hubby has, I would be taking along with me those food supplements with me to help me at least adjust again and my body still at its best, even if the work schedule of hubby is really worst. I will also share this with him so at least he will be stressed free and relaxed.

That's a good method you've used to change your sleeping habit. It always works with me too. I usually change my sleeping habits in the end of the school holidays, because I need to adjust myself for school schedule. I tend to stay up until late night in the holidays. To change my habit I also get up earlier in the morning and it allows me to fall asleep earlier too. It's good because when it's the morning I have to wake up for school for the first time after holidays, I don't have much problems with getting up.

Hello timhinyy, I am so glad that I can help you. Wake up at 9 am it is the first step for my also. But before I go to sleep I am trying to do stuff to relax my body and mind. Listening music or reading a good book with fun material. Drink chamomile:is a common name for several daisy-like plants.These plants are best known for their ability to be made into a tea which is commonly used to help with sleep and is often served with either honey or lemon.

i know one who used to go to bed 2 or 3 am and wakes up 10 or 11am. Now that he is working, he goes to sleep 11pm and wakes up 6:45am to go to work 7am. I think when you have nothing to do the next day, you tend to sleep later in the night. There is no time schedule to follow if one stays at home. Although some really stick to the ideal sleeping time even the next day is a holiday.

Before I was a night person. My classes starts at 5 to 9 pm and need to finish home works and things before I go to bed. So I am usually sleeping around 3 to 4 like you are, but now I am working and I need to be at work around 7am so I turned my sleeping habits around. At first it was hard. But I guess our body can adjust quickly.

I have! I use to sleep with one pillow and now i sleep with two but any major change in my sleeping habits i haven´t successfully done. At summer i would like to go to sleep like 4AM and sleep 10 hours a night but i can´t. Even if i go to sleep at 4AM i will always wake up at like 9AM and that sucks!

I tried it once, it was quite hard especially me being a teenager but you will eventually get to a point when you feel that you don't need to sleep during the day time anymore. It takes up to a month, of course the other part of this statement is turning your sleeping habits around again when you actually need to do something in the day time.
