A member asked:

I have to be up at 5:30 for school tomorrow and i can't sleep. how can i fall asleep quickly to avoid a headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get to sleep: You need to get on a consistent schedule. Get yoiur homework done in the afternoon or early evening. To get up at 5:30, yoiu would need to get to sleep by 9:-9:30. Avoid caffeine, especially in the evening. Try a high carbohydrate dinner. You can try melatonin, 3 to 10 mg about 30 to 60 minutes before going to bed.
