As of ~4AM on the 4th of July, I am awake, and have been since yesterday. Will the day of July 11th, a week from now, involve me waking up sometime before 10AM, and going to sleep later than 8PM but before midnight? To give you an idea of where I'm currently at, my baseline for the past week has usually involved falling asleep around 4-7 AM, and without an alarm waking up anywhere from 1-4PM. I'm gonna try to fix it, though.

Did not fix sleep schedule in the manner described by the deadline, resolving NO.

predictedNO

@Dfe2f Sorry to hear. Best of luck with it in the future!

Bet no because short of staying up for 24 hours and falling asleep when you should...or taking melatonin...it is pretty hard to do if you're in a routine. For your sake, I do hope you were able to do it by today!

@Dfe2f: I know I’ve said this before, but if you have trouble falling asleep, I suggest you take melatonin. It’s safe, effective, and is widely available over the counter (at least in the US; apparently it’s prescription only elsewhere). Practically any dose between 0.1mg and 5mg will do the trick although I suggest sticking to the low end.

As for trouble waking up, the quickest fix by far is a recurring alarm if you don’t already have one, and this is basically trivial if you have a smartphone.

do you need to change for anything like is it affecting work or school?

predictedYES

@higherLEVELING Not really, I do stuff online mostly at my own schedule, this is more out of a desire to change it for personal wellbeing because waking up in the afternoon is kinda depressing.

@Dfe2f what are you going to do to fix it? my problem was not being able to fall asleep, so in order for me to fix that, I would stay up for like a day and a half, basically stay up 24h atleast, and then sleep at the desired time. It might kill a day, but it'd fix the schedule.
if not that, plan or schedule something to do so it will give you a reason to wake up. It could be going to the grocery store in the morning, which is actually a good time, you get fresh produce and it's not busy at all.

whats your level of confidence for fixing sleep schedule? is it ez peasy or is it going to be difficult?

predictedYES

@higherLEVELING Currently I'm planning on doing something like what you describe, before I had been trying to force myself to go to sleep earlier and that wasn't working, so now I'm planning on staying up for as long as I can through this morning, and repeating the process over a couple days until I'm back to normal. As for my level of confidence, I honestly have a lot of trouble with sleep-related stuff, and staying up long enough instead of just giving up and falling asleep early might be a problem, even with the described strategy I'd probably put my realistic odds of having it done by the 11th at 50/50
