Sleep Schedule
Roy Batty · 2018-10-31 04:23
So my sleep schedule feels completely fuarrrked. In bed around 12:30-2am and waking up between 8:45-10am. Getting the whole 8 hour meme which is nice, but I don't really like starting my day so late.
Any tips to rework a sleep schedule?

* Stay awake for 24 hours.
* Go to bed at 9PM.
* Wake at 9AM.
* Go to bed at 9PM again.
Don't fuarrrk it up.

Hey Roy, sleeping and eating are closely related. Easiest way to change your schedule is to skip a meal, or eat when you normally wouldn't. Just have a big lunch one day and go to bed a little hungry.

As if anyone could remain useful staying up 24 hours, and then not wake up after 6-7-8-10 hours of sleep.

I've seen this advice elsewhere, "fasting" from ~2pm until after you wake up the next day. Gonna try this first. Ideal would be to go to bed around 11pm and wake at 7am.

This doesn't sound feasible.

>Try not to look at a screen at least an hour before your target bed time.
>Doing some sort of heavy exercise like weight lifting, jogging, cycling, swimming etc. will generally make it easier for you to fall asleep.
>Try taking a melatonin if you keep struggling

I cycle between vampire (4pm - 8am) wake up just before the golden hour go to sleep at or around sunrise; early riser (my current setup) is 11pm-5:30am; and the biphasic siesta style with a long afternoon nap (my favorite). The best way to choose is to spend 24-48 hours awake then sleep 8 hours before your preferred rising time.
I have spent the last 2 years or so in extremely hostile environments, and maintaining unpredictable sleep/wake and movement patterns has been my go-to survibal tactic.

I use a screen temperature software, and if I can't sleep, I take two spoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and a herbal tea with honey and melatonin. It helps with mild insomnia. If I'm too stressed I just take a sleeping aid, fuarrrk that.

Going to bed hungry doesn't seem too good, 'cause you can wake up from hunger. You should just space out eating and sleeping so that you have time to digest.

I was suffering from same bad habit just a week ago, I was falling asleep between 3:00-5:30 and waking about around 12:00-15:00. As a previous anon mentioned to stay up for 24 hours then fall asleep is a great idea. However that's quite impossible to make. Here is what I have been doing for last few days:
>wake up at 15:00 stay up till 11:00
>wake up at 18:00 pm stay up till 14:00
>wake up at 20:00 stay up till 16:00
>wake up at 1:00 stay up till 18:00
today I woke up around 4am and feel confident to make it pass 8pm. So yeah anon, start somewhere small and try to approximate your final goal.

old thread but i'm curious what's other people schedule, or if they even keep one atm.
I usually wake up at 6:00, rest a bit more till 7:00 and I usually go to sleep around 23:00.

Friend does it and it seem to work, but needs some real focus/commitment.
Think of it like doing a marathon or hosting a LAN party... if you ever had experience hosting one. (or maybe I was just "too comitted" to it.)
Anywho, not to say that the option is great, I think it's pretty terrible and I wonder if there are better ways other than just brute forcing yourself to sleep at a certain time.

I have a bright (2600 lumens) bulb in a lamp pointed right at my pillow that turns on at 6:30am everyday. Does a ton to help regulate your sleep and will get my sleep back on track in like 4 days if I turn it off for a bit. I also hate loud noises and the light is enough to make sure I wake up on time fortunately so don't need an alarm.
That + getting good sun in the morning by going on a ~30 minute walk and avoiding stimulants as it gets late during the day.
Those have worked really well for me, also making sure your sleep isn't disrupted, I got a bed jet thing that regulates the temperature of your bed because I had issues with overheating and I live in a hot area. But yeah
>regulate circadian rhythm with consistent light exposure w/ lamp or just morning walks
>Identify things disrupting it/causing issues and cut those out
>excercise is also a big boost
>sleep in a dark/cool room etc.
