What i would like to know is how to control your internal biological clock?

Basically you can either take certain medicines that will help your melatonin levels or you can use social cues such as light or temperature.

Examples of light: bright light has been found to supress melatonin*, therefore daylight will reset the biological clock. A study found that by shining a torch at the back of the knees also altered the rhythm.


*Melatonin is a chemical in our bodies that helps us to get to sleep.

Your internal biological clock can also be affected by shift works or alarms. To do this you basically have to get used to waking up at those specific times and eventually your sleep pattern will change.

(p.s i'm going to post all my psychology notes, from AS to A level, so look out for the thread)
 
as many have said - make yourself get up earlier.
also, if you have a really super boring book to read. this worked for me when i was having the same problem. i used karl marx "das kapital" and it worked wonders. (i'm serious!). i don't think i ever did get past page 50 or so.
 
Actually it does happening to me sometime.

It is alway's due to different factors and not neccessari;y one.

You have to break the habit.
 
salaam,
In my opinion forget anything that has to do with drugs, caffeine, or useless books. I forget who made this statement, but it goes something to the effect of if you have sleeping problems, then read the Qur'an because the shaytan will try to make you sleepy.

And Allah Knows Best.
