How do I stop being 'nocturnal', going to bed v. late, and getting up equally late...?

I can't sleep until 5 am, and I can't wake up before 12am, what's the best way to break this habit?

- I wasn't always this way. I just started working late, then sleeping late to compensate and now it's just getting silly...

1. Set a time when you want to be able to go to sleep.

2. Avoid caffeine (coffee & soda) 4-6 hours before this time.

3. Don't do anything stimulating near this time like watching tv

shows that you are very into and can get you excited.

4. Set a time when you want to wake up.

5. Get two alarm clocks for this... place one next to your bed

and the other one across the room.

6. Focus yourself before you go to sleep that you will wake up

and get up when the alarm clocks go off.

7. (This is the toughest - you will need a lot of will power)

When the alarms go off, force yourself to get up to turn

them off and go to the bathroom to wash your face with

cold water.

If you can go straight to the shower right away, it would be

much better.

8. When you still feel like going back to bed, try to resist.

As days go by following your sleep "schedule", your body will start to get used to shutting down at a certain time and waking back up at a certain time.
