Is it possible to "re-set" your sleeping patterns?

I've been having a bit of a stressful time recently and it's having an effect on my sleep.

I drop off to sleep fine. I have a good routine where I wash down a couple of Kalms with a cup of chamomile tea in bed while reading a book. So, I'm asleep by 11pm most nights.

However, I keep waking up at 4.30am. Sometimes I'm only awake for a few mins, sometimes it's longer and sometimes I then wake up several more times, before I have to get up at 6.30am-7am.

I'm constantly knackered! I think my mind has just got into a habit of waking up at 4.30am and then I lie there worrying. Can you change you re-set your patterns?

Yes! Wake to sleep method, works for adults and children!
Set your alarm for 3.30am for 3 days in a row, should reset your body clock

I did wonder about wake to sleep. Would that actually work? Slightly worried that I'd just end up lying there fretting at 3.30am instead of 4.30am and losing out on another hour of sleep!
