need to have a good sleep

I have always been what they say an owl, where sleep pattern is concerned. From 8 pm onwards I will be very alert and find it so difficult to sleep by midnight. I need to wake up early as I have classes to attend by 9 am on most days. I find that I am tired and still so sleepy by that time. So I am trying very hard to sleep earlier than 11 pm so that I will be alert by the time I am in class. For the last 4 nights I have tried following the advice of  friends. I had hot cocoa by 8.30 pm, and read a few relaxing exercises and read a boring recipe book! Surprisingly it worked! unbelievable!

Its a good feeling I have now at the beginning of the day.
