What are some ways (that aren't sleeping pills or drugs)

>>590657010
Meletonin to help set your internal clock and Valerian root to help sleep

Exercise a few hours before you want to go to bed

Try watching something with high brightness in the dark. Strains your eyes, forcing you to want to close them.
Eventually you fall asleep. Used to do this until my body-clock changed.

I have class in 5 hours and am not tired for shit

Nice trolling, fuckwad gaylord, only the opposite is archived, which is what you wanted.

F.lux is good for this purpose

>>590657010
Melantonin helps, which is a substance you body produces too. Be aware that Melantonin has a very short half-life.
About 1 hour prior going to sleep, stay away from bright sreens/displays

>I need to start waking up at 5:30
just start waking up at 5:30
you will soon be waking up at 5:30

Sleep in a dark, quiet room. Get off the computer at least an hour before bed. My rhythms are permafucked from being on swing shift for years, I used to drink habitually to set the mood for sleep, which is kinda pleasant, but is a totally bad habit.

masturbate lel

If you aren't tired until after 5am, you need to look up delayed sleep phase disorder.

You really need to get off the phone a few hours before bedtime, but who are we kidding, right? Turn the brightness down all the way at night. Buy either a red led bulb for your room at night or yellow. Bright lights keep you awake. Google "blue light sleep". I changed a few bulbs in the living room to yellow cfl bulbs, and red led in the room. After 8-9pm I try to not expose myself to regular bright lights.

Also first thing when you wake up, expose yourself to bright light/sunlight. It will push back your circadian rhythm by 30 min to an hour (you will get tired a bit sooner that night)

tl:dr
Bright light during the day. No bright light at night. Will not be a quick fix. I had trouble falling asleep before 7am for 2 years

Manual labor. You'll sleep like a fucking baby.

Simply start your job at that time and do your job. You'll eventually fall into the habit. Also, being active helps. Go on long walks (more than 2 miles) or do some jogging.

Go to the gym. If no gym, do exercises at home that can be done without weights such as lunges, push ups, squats, dips, an exercises, etc

Simply getting up at that time and doing your job should out you in the routine though.

Oh and if you expose yourself to bright light during the first half of sleep (falling asleep at 5/6am and then sunlight fills your room shortly after) it can make your situation worse. You want bright light either right when you wake up or just a bit before

take an adderall or vyvance 10 minutes before you lie down. you'll sleep like a baby.

adderall is good
but not for sleeping

Not OP but I'm ban evading to post this. That was a really great video, I'm going to refer all of my friends to this video that doubt meditation/relaxation exercises. I feel really great after having listened to it

Not OP here but shit, that's me. Sometimes I'll pull a 24hr+ so that I can "reset" my schedule but it never sticks.

Beer. Start Drinking About 3 Hours Before You Want To Sleep.

Valerian root is what I grew up using...
I switched to Herb Pharm Relaxing Sleep blend...
That stuff is pretty potent and totally works. I feel like it kind of helps quiet my mind when it's racing and help knock me out.

Honestly though, I recommend exercise, no caffeine after 4 pm, and eating better. This is the best way...

Lots of computer guys don't do anything physical all day but they're mentally exhausted from working on a computer. You gotta run your body out or you'll turn into an insomniac.

Also, Relax Melodies lets you build your own white noise...

I make one that's a storm with rain and stuff, pump it through a bluetooth speaker I keep by my bed...

Anytime something loud is happening or I have to sleep during the day, I just crank it all the way up and I can sleep through everything...
