Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in Ask the Doctor

I can understand your concern

Usually we prescribe medication for regulating the sleeping cycle to prolong it as most patients need it.

In your case as an natural treatment you can use adrenaline stimulants such as coffee coca cola smoking .All of these have stimulants of the central nervous system that inhibit sleeping especially if you take them late in the evening.
In my knowledge there are not over the counter treatment to shorten the sleeping time.

Hope to have been helpful
