Try to change your sleeping schedule gradually. If you generally sleep at 12, then try to sleep at 11 30 the next day and 11 the next next day and so on. Also, I would suggest not sleeping during the afternoons as that might keep you awake at night.

To fix your sleeping schedule you need to look at what it is that is making you sleep so late/early and try and change that. Set yourself a time that you would like to be asleep by and an alarm for when you would like to be up. Then an hour or so before you want to go to bed have a hot bath and then read a chapter of the current book you are reading to relax your mind.

Regular exercise greatly helps to relieve stress and regulate sleep cycle. Additionally, eating healthy and not eating late at night will also help regulate the sleep cycle.

Sleeping schedules can be very challenging to manage and to fix. Maybe you can try to try to sleep 10 mins earlier/late (depending on how you want to fix it) so your body gets familiar with the new schedule, gradually :)

From my own personal experience If I go to bed pretty late I set an alarm for a pretty early morning and do the best that I can to stay awake the rest of the day until bed time, which makes me fall asleep and I wake up the next day around the same time

You can make a sleep schedule with your new sleep routines as well as going to bed early and limit time of electronics before bedtime.

It can be used up to reduce the amount of exposure to bright light that your eyes get 2-3 hours before your ideal bed time. Also, not eating for a couple hours before bed may help you fall asleep better. Making a set bed time is also useful.

if phone is the real issue here then set a time limit for apps that you know you are using a lot or give it to your parents/keep it away from you as far as possible. you might wanna put it on airplane mode or something to avoid calls while focusing on your work. you need to be determined about it and try writing tasks that you need to do daily on a notepad instead of phone because phone might distract you from doing your task. if you feel like this isnt working out ask for help from a professional

There are a couple of easy things you can do to fix or improve your sleep schedule: 1. Set an alarm for waking up and set yourself a fixed time for going to sleep at night. Over time, your circadian rhythm will naturally adjust so that you get tired/fall alseep and wake up at the times that you have set (you may not even need an alarm anymore!) 2. Try a guided meditation before going to bed. One of the reasons we struggle to fall asleep is because our mind is racing. Exposure to screens just before going to bed can make it particularly difficult to fall alseep as well. Putting aside all devices and doing meditation can help to quieten and relax the mind, preparing it for sleep. 3. Fixing your sleep schedule often requires scheduling other aspects of your life as well. If you find that you're getting inadequate sleep because you're up late working, then carving out specific times in your day for working that don't interfere with your desired sleep schedule will help too.
