If you sleep too late(which is really the root problem), try not eating or drinking right before bed. Water is ok, but dont eat a full meal right before bed, it will be harder to get up in the AM. A glass or two of water within an hour of bed helps me get up since I gota pee pretty bad right about 8 hours later haha.
stay off caffeine if u can, go to bed when you want/need to get back on schedule. no music, ipad, tv etc. Might take a few nights and the first might take you a while to go to sleep but its really the only way. Id stay away from sleep medications unless u need them. also, if you are a gym person, make sure its at least 3 hours prior to sleeping. For me personally, 6 hours. Alcohol will reduce the quality of sleep, so id stay away from it too.

Start by waking up at a set time everyday, and force yourself to get out of bed at that time. I started by waking up at 7 a.m. everyday, even on the weekends for two weeks straight. The end of week one was rough, but your body adjusts and you will start getting tired at an earlier time in the evening. Now, even if I stay up pretty late and don't set an alarm, I am usually up by 8 a.m.
