Most people can sleep normally (one sleep session at night) and not need naps or anything else special... but it requires some knowledge and effort. OP: by fixing a lot of my sleeping/insomnia problems, I've found it much easier to reset my sleep schedule than it used to be. I can brute force it forward a couple of hours a day without that much difficulty (relatively speaking). However I used to have a lot of difficulty with this and I tried what you are planning or are doing. One thing I noticed was you can easily overshoot. If I am on a schedule where I go to bed at 5am and wake up at 2-3pm, then trying to stay up until 7pm and sleep until 9am seems logical. But, after struggling to make it past 1pmish, I suddenly get a second wind and don't feel like sleep at 7pm. All the sudden it's 10:30pm and I haven't gone to sleep yet and I find myself sleeping until 2-3pm the next day. You have to get yourself tired and in bed early enough that make it easy for you to get up at a normal waking time, plus it will be slightly harder to get to sleep the following night. | ||

Got on seroquel seems to be helping but I'm prolly fucked without medication. Have you read all the crap I wrote on this last year? It sounds like your problem is pretty extreme but you probably already know medication is not the best long-term solution. | ||

What I find is slightly more pleasant is forcing yourself to wake up (even if little sleep). Eg get up at 6-8am regardless of when you fell asleep, even if it's like 4am. Its slightly better for me, although it takes some adjusting, just an arbitrary example. | ||
