Okay, now we succeeded in making you sit up and realized that sleep disorder can disrupt your life, here's 3 surefire ways to sleep once your head touches pillow: -

Following a routine would assist us to sleep better because of our sleep cycle. 1 sleep-cycle contains 4 stages of sleep with last stage being REM rapid eye movement sleep, which is easiest to wake up.
Getting up before or after REM sleep would make you very drowsy and not rested. The former happens because you have not completed 1 cycle, latter because of halting of a new cycle. Therefore, from this experiment with your waking time, you would know what time you are most alert and that would be end of your REM.
And by way, to get good sleep, you would need at least 1 cycle, which range between 5-6 hours depending on individuals. So, to get quality sleep and to feel energetic for entire day, you do not need more sleep but waking at right time (6 hours versus recommended 8 hours).
