8. Forget about the clock
I’m sure everyone has been there. You sleep for what seems like 10 minutes and then you suddenly wake up, only to realize hours have passed. You then start stressing and calculating how much more hours of sleep you have left, and the stress, in turn, causes you to be more wide awake. This is a never ending cycle and to combat this, you need to simply stop focusing on the time when you wake up. Just try going back to sleep when this happens.
