text: how can i reduce my sleep hours which is now more than 10hrs a day and save my valuable time?   i would slowly decrease your sleeping hours so that your body doesn't feel deprived. you only need eight to function well. i would cut off maybe 15 minutes of sleep a night until you are down to eight. do you actually sleep for ten full hours each night or are you including the time it takes you to fall asleep and the time it takes for you to get out of bed when the alarm goes off in the morning? slepping pills like lunesta are made to get you to sleep for eight hours only. if you can't do it naturally, i would think about using sleep aides that pretty much wake you up after your body has slept for eight hours.
