http://dustincurtis.com/sleep.html

If you want to take a nap that's fine, and there is logic in what the author is saying that the brain will front-load REM sleep if you are sleep deprived, but this is not and/or should not be any kind of a solution to sleep problems for most people. 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.

I've found that doing exercise when I'm trying to do an all nighter to fix mine helps me stay awake. However I feel it could work the opposite if you overexert yourself.

My sleeping schedule is so fucked up right now too. I go to sleep at like 8-9 AM and wake up at 6 PM, hell I dont even know how I can sleep for that long. I'm gonna go ahead and pull an all nighter too.

best way is to just go to sleep at your normal time but set an alarm and get up at like 9-10 and then you'll be exhausted by 9-10 pm

Go out and have a run or lift some weights. Afterwards, after you have a snack, lay down in your bed and put on a movie or some starcraft/day9. You should be out for three hours easy. Do this on a regular basis and you'll start sleeping normally again.

Yea, depending on how long you've lived the "night life"schedule, it's probably going to take awhile to adjust your sleep patterns. It is certainly possible and probably a good decision, but be prepared for the transition to last a couple weeks, if not longer.

For the last six weeks i've had pretty bad insomnia where I've been up for 2-4 days straight a week without sleep and then i would sleep the rest. 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.

Don't eat anything 16 hours before you need to wake up, get sunlight during the day (within an hour or two after you get up would be good), get some exercise and then you should be good to go if you keep it up for a week or two.

If you are going to eat before going to bed then you are better off with carbs than meats.

I used to do the stay awake until regular sleep time thing too. I still do sometimes, but age or whatever I'm finding it harder to take. Just becomes too unpleasant especially if there isnt a strong incentive .

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.

work out/play a sport/do something physically tiring sometime in the evening/afternoon for a few hours -> tired -> get home and shower and stuff -> don't go on your computer -> sleep -> your sleep schedule is now reset to going to sleep sometime between 9pm and 1am ^^.

I played sc2 pretty much 16 hours straight the day I got the beta in order to reset my sleep schedule. (I was so into it I could've easily gone another 16 hours)

i had this schedule for a few years, sometimes even staying up til 10 am and sleeping until 8 pm. staying up all day doesn't fix it, you'll just not feel tired and wind up staying up 2 days without sleep, haha.

Whats wrong with just going to bed at the time you want to sleep again ? I'd try just going to bed at like 3:30 and forcing wake up at arround 8. The next day you should be able to sleep at a normal time again ?
