Try to sleep and wake at consistent time

The circadian rhythm in your body runs on a set schedule, aligning itself with sunrise and sunset. You will sleep better at night if you wake up at the same time every day. A set wake time encourages a strong desire to sleep in the night.

Consistency in your sleep and waking times might help you get better sleep in the long run. Participants in one research who had irregular sleeping patterns and went to bed late on weekends had poor sleep. Other research has found that irregular sleep patterns might affect your circadian rhythm and melatonin levels, which signal your brain to sleep. If you have trouble sleeping, attempt to get into the routine of waking up and going to bed at the same time every day. You might not even need an alarm after a few weeks.
