I've noticed a change in my sleeping patterns over the past year or so. Before, I would be able to sleep 7-8 hours without waking up, but as of last year, my body can only sleep 5 hours at a time before it wakes me up. I suspect the cause to come from the overwhelming stress from school. Granted, I can fall back asleep relatively easy, but I know it's not good for my health. However, recently, the amount of hours have decreased to 4.
Can I easily fix my sleeping schedule, or is it something big that I need to worry about? And if I can easily fix my sleeping schedule, how can I go about doing so?
Go to sleep at the same time every night. To an extent, sleep cycle changes are normal, but not to the extent you are speaking about.

If my situation seems severe, would sleeping at the same time every night have any effect at all? Or at the least, increase the amount of sleep I get in one session? (even if it means sleeping an extra 30 minutes)

See a doctor.
Don't assume, don't suspect, just see a doctor.
We're not doctors here. We're not reasonable approximations of doctors, either.
Go see one.
Happens when you get older. It's rare for me to sleep a whole 7/8 hours without waking up at least once.

You worry way too much
