This is my problem too. Some people can just hop into bed every night and fall asleep in under 10 minutes. Consistently.This would not work for me as I could not calculate when I will fall asleep. Sometimes it takes half an hour, sometimes 2 hours.
I know and there are people who can fall asleep any time they want, like if my mom takes a nap and wakes up at 7PM, she can still fall asleep at midnight but I would be up until the early morning.This is my problem too.

Thank you so much! I'll try to do this someday and tell what happened!
No problem, while searching earlier, I found this website that calculates the time you should go to sleep based on this rule. You just need to enter the time where you usually wake up.Thank you so much! I'll try to do this someday and tell what happened!
So it wasn't complete BS when the military teached me how to nap.
What does all of this mean for napping? Giving yourself a full sleep cycle (90 minutes) can help you retain certain skill you’ve just learned, but for recovering from fatigue a 15-20 minute nap is ideal (and some research suggests a nap as short as 5 minutes could be beneficial!), since the farther along you are in your sleep cycle, the harder it is to get over that grogginess you sometimes feel when you first wake up (known in the sleep world as sleep inertia).
I did the same as you today. It was weird to not feel tired! That really works.For anyone interested, I tested this last night by going to sleep at 3 am and woke up at 6 am. I was surprisingly very alert, and didn't felt tired for my 8 am lectures as I usually am.
