Pass out halfway though the day and fuck up schedule even more.

That's bad for you and possibly may be counter-productive. This is how you fix your sleeping schedule:

Yes because it was in that front page thread with the boromir meme a few hours ago.

I just take a few excedrin pm or benedryl before I go to bed for a few days at the appropriate times.

Quickest way to fix sleep schedule:

Only a few hours off (1-3), just set your alarm earlier than you want to and use the magic of willpower.

Else, go out drinking, drink hard and go home "early". Everybody sleeps any time if they're drunk enough.

michellium · 8 months

I call it a "Factory Reset"

empyreanmax · 8 months

I've tried this before but it actually just doesn't work. Sleep deficit is an actual thing, and doing this you're just adding on to what you have to make up. The time I tried this I passed out unintentionally around 8 pm, woke up for maybe 15 minutes around 1:30, fell back asleep and still woke up at noon the next day.

tl;dr: Instead of fixing my sleep schedule, I slept 16 hours and woke up at the same time I had been before.

Tried this today, made it to 3pm lay on bed to watch a movie, set an alarm for 6pm just in case. Woke up at midnight.....

WHY THE HELL IS ALL OF REDDIT DOING THIS!? I've seriously seen at least 4 posts and 6 threads about just this. I was about to do it last night (couldn't sleep even at 3 a.m. Eventually I fell asleep when I started listening to some music) It's like the everybody's sleep schedule took a shit because it's 2012...wait....

THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS!

suo · 8 months

I always make it to the next day and then end up not being tired anymore. Then I end up sleeping at around 2-3am for 14 hours straight and being back where I started.

tedrick111 · 8 months

Sleep is screwed up because of what/when you eat and how much time away from people living with you that you require in a day. Here's a quick trick. I won't even tell you when to sleep because it won't matter by the next day:

Don't consume any caffeine that day
Don't eat after 4pm that day.
Set an alarm for the time you want to wake up the following day
Wake up
Immediately eat something simple and gratifying, like a bowl of cereal. If you need caffeine to run (like an office worker or whatever) get that out of the way early. It stays in your system a lot longer than you think it does.

The very next day you'll wake up at the right time. The drive to eat is enough to get almost anyone out of bed. You push your body clock back by eating later in the evening than you should, and caffeine gives you a boost that day, but then screws you over until it's completely out of you (even longer if you get withdrawal) 2 or 3 days later

tl;dr your sleep schedule is a consequence of your eating schedule.

AzureDrag0n1 · 8 months

This works for me temporarily. I am doing this right now. In a few days in will regress to what it was before though and the cycle will continue.

That will only give you jet lag, and before you know it the sleeping schedule will be fucked up again.

I've done this a few times but half of the time I end up staying up super late again anyway and it loses it's effect. =(

shaftian · 8 months

5-hour energy, about to take another one-- Unfortunately I'm at work today so no choice but to power through it.

I meant to do this yesterday, but when you're close to a bed/couch it is just too tempting the second you lay down. Only way to make it work is to remove the option of sleep!

EarthIsGay · 8 months

I used to work 3rd shift and sometimes I would do this on my days off just so I could see the sun. One day I stayed up and at about 9:30 pm I was called in to go work. I ended up being awake for about 48 hours. That night was actually ok though, I was kind of delirous from the lack of sleep and I was just kind of singing and generally being goofy all night. My coworkers probably thought I was a crazy person.

Banana223 · 8 months

Yep. Been up since 3:00PM yesterday. Now only about 8 more hours until I can safely sleep.

The worst part is the coffee shits.

wipeout4wh · 8 months

Fix? No, this is my sleep schedule. I'll stay up all night one night, then the next day (after staying up for a full night and day) I'll end up sleeping all day (usually until 5-6pm) to catch up, which leads to me not being tired that night, so I stay up all night again, and the cycle continues from there. It's a vicious cycle, and it's not easy to get out of. It doesn't help that I'm unemployed and have no responsibilities whatsoever. I feel like I would be able to get up at a normal time if I actually had a reason to.

TerryArchi · 8 months

I do it once every 2 days.

nerp27 · 8 months

I used to do this, but advice I can give is going to bed earlier is the easier route. How one does this is a different matter all by itself. I either exorcise and collapse or take a sleeping pill.

Dude this is funny to me. I just decided, yesterday night, that I was going to do this. Somehow I slept till EIGHT P.M. and decided to power through to get back on school schedule for next week. It's 12:14 and I'm debating whether I can take a nap and have the power to get back up. Good luck meng.

3DGiant · 8 months

Been constantly waking up at 4PM for the last four days no matter what I try to do to reset my internal clock. Slept for 14 hours on Sunday to Monday passover, when I was aiming for 6 hours. This usually never works the way I hope it does as I end up staying up late the next night as I somehow second wind really late at night and don't crash till 6AM or so the next day and sleep till 4PM again. It has not worked yet. Hoping this time will be different.

I literally actually am doing this. Thanks to this long break and my general laziness I've been waking up at 3-4 every day. I had some hope because I woke up at 1 yesterday and set my alarm for 11 today but...I woke up at 2. So now I'm popping Aderall and pushing through the night. League of Legends marathon will be in order, to keep me wired, maybe some BF3.

tortilla_bro · 8 months

I actually managed to do this last night! Woke up at 8pm the day before, stayed up until 9pm yesterday with only a 2 hr nap in between.

But I was so tired I slept until 4pm today wtf. So the cycle begins yet again...

ispoiler · 8 months

isnt the best way to fix a sleep schedule to fast / skip meals? or is that just jet lag?

I tried, but failed miserably. It was okey at 3am, at 5am, but at 7am i started to get tired, and fell asleep at 8am. Why was this so much easier before ?

joe935120 · 8 months

I'm in the middle of this right now. I'm used to falling asleep at 7am, and up at 5pm. Now if I sleep now (2:38) I would actually sleep thru the night, and wake up at 6am. I'm debating on if i want to do it. I'm so tired I'm starting to go delirious.

crescentfresh921 · 8 months

More like take 4 Tylenol PM at 7pm last night. Still couldn't fall asleep until midnight. Skyrim has destroyed my life.

kronik85 · 8 months

I did this after NYE, I stayed up all night at a rave, stayed up all morning talking to friends. Got 1 hour of sleep. Stayed up the rest of the day, fell asleep at 9:30 that night, woke up Monday at 9 or so... ended up taking a 4 hour nap in the middle of the day and didn't get to bed last night until 2 or 3 am.

BeefyStevey · 8 months

Back in college, I'd occasionally stay up all night, go to sleep around 2 pm, wake up around 10 pm, then stay up 24 hours. Usually worked out pretty well.

[deleted] · 8 months

i've had insomnia before. not like the bullshit kind kids complain about when they can't go to sleep before 3, i'm talking like the kind where you get maybe 2 or 3 hours of sleep a week, and various doctors have recommended this technique and it's worked for me

StarshipPoopers · 8 months

Every time that I think I've saved my schedule and get it right for a couple of days, I screw it all up. I got up at 3am today and think I will be able to last until 9 or 10 and set things straight, but time shall tell.

I'd sleep right now if I wasn't expecting important calls.

If you want to fix your sleep schedule: sleep at whatever time, wake up at 7 am, no matter what. Then sleep at 11. This should be easy since you're so fucking tired from waking up at 7.

I did this a few nights ago, it worked. My advice though; IT ISN'T FUCKING WORTH IT. JUST GRADUALLY GO TO SLEEP EARLIER, TRUST ME. You're feeling the effects of it DAYS after. Trust me.

ISkypeWithMyCat · 8 months

As a shift worker that used to finish the last shift of a 12 hour cycle at 6:30am, I'd regularly do this with the aid of an extra large coffee on the drive home. Doing an "all-dayer" meant you got the full 4 days off of your shift cycle - most people sleep through the first day off (the cycle was 4 days on / 4 days off). I did this for 4 years and it led to a series of problems including not being able to sleep at a 'normal' time, 9pm-midnight, once I got off shift.

It got a lot harder to do as I got older. I started shift work at 18 and left that job when I was 22. My job wasn't too mentally or physically taxing - staying up all day on that last shift became a massive struggle and eventually I had to give it up. It'll probably take me another 4 years to correct my sleeping habits without the aid of sedatives.

noagendaproducer · 8 months

I'm just adjusting mine a little at a time. I'm working my way from waking up at 7am to 4:30am so I have more hours awake to get things done. So far so good!

What a coincidence. It seems everyone chose today to do it.

I've had a brutal history of attempting this in the past but I must say today it is going remarkably well. 4:00PM and still going strong.

Of course on previous attempts I didn't have reddit or Battlefield 3 to help me out...
