Sleep schedule ruined again. Damn.

whirlpool

I have been off work for a week, and in that time I have managed to completely flip my sleep schedule upside down.

I have just managed to stay up until 8am.

WHY

It's taken just one week for this to happen.

I'm a night-owl so when I wasn't working, this is what my sleep schedule would be, and that's why it has reverted like this. But I'm shocked at how quickly it happened.

Does your sleeping pattern tend to change this rapidly?

Any tips to flip it back around to office hours?

Go to bed at 11pm.

On the day you're tired suffer through it and go to bed that night at a normal time and you'll be back to standard... Not really rocket science.

I could go a few days without sleep and I still would have difficulty falling asleep at night time (11pm-6am). As a young child I would stay awake long into the night as well.

It seems impossible for me to have a normal pattern, even with sleeping tablets.

Skip a nights sleep and stay up for 24 hours or more. That should right it.

I tried this before and slept for 16 hours or something then which put me back to where I started. Alarm went off after 8 hours and I fell back asleep.

I'm in the middle of doing that right now... Albeit against my will. Couldn't sleep a wink last night, so, rather than sleep now and wake up at 8pm, I'm gonna stay awake til 9pm tonight to fix my sleep pattern. Today is gonna be a looooong day.

Sleep is for the weak! You can sleep plenty when you're dead...

I have currently slept 3 hours last night, 6 hours the night before and stayed up 28 hours before that..


It cannot be fixed!

I've had this before, it's a mismatch between your circadian rhythms and the length of the day. I did what I call a "wraparound": go for a 28-hour day, stay up 4 hours later each time e.g. go to bed at 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm ... depending on how long you have to do this. It's not exactly compatible with a day job.

Yeah me too my sleep pattern got all flipped around over the Christmas break. I've been awake since 7 last night. I've just been for a swim to give the system a bit of a jolt. Hopefully the real tiredness will kick in later and I'll be back to regular hours. It's a bit of a drastic tactic but it works for me.
