Going to bed and waking up at the same time each morning, however, can lead to serious jet lag and lose you from " family " or even human contacts. Your family will experience cultural shock, so be sure to be consistent. Make sure you are comfortable in your new bed and that you can get up and go to bed at the same time every night. [substeps] For example, set time for 7 pm on the weekdays you are away from school or 5 pm on weekends. Although it may be easier for you to stay in bed alone, persistent alone time over your trip can be detrimental to your physical well-being as well. [substeps] Don't allow it to build up into a habit that prevents you from sleeping. Adjust it in 15-30 minute increments until you're synced back up. [substeps] If you have trouble falling asleep, put on some relaxing music, take a hot bath, or sit in a chair and read for a few minutes.
