Consistency and parenthood.

OK, so what you want to do is stay awake for atleast 20 hours, sleep for like 5 hours then wake up, do this for a while then pick a time to go to bed, now you gotta drink some sleepy time tea, set a few alarms and fall asleep, you should sleep for about 8 hours, and wake up refreshed, now repeat this every night until you don't need the tea.

You gotta overload your circadian rhythm to reset it.

Oh, oh, I know this one! Have a baby. Done.

I started leaning into my abnormal circadian rhythm and my mental and physical health was boosted almost instantly

Get a herding dog... seriously mine keeps me on this sleep schedule. She tells me when to go to bed and is my alarm clock in the morning.

I know this is WhitePeopleTwitter, and not a direct ask; but the easiest way is to tackle it from the wake-up time, rather than forcing yourself to try and fall asleep at 10pm.

Pick a day with few responsibilities, (e.g. Saturday ) that way you won’t be too negatively impacted if you don’t get enough sleep. Set MULTIPLE alarms to 6am to force you out of bed; proceed with your day as normal, minimise screen time and bright lights after 9pm, and go to bed at 10pm.

Make sure you keep waking up at 6 am and don’t nap/go back to sleep; brute force your body to adapt. It should work as quickly as in 72hrs.

Work out every day

8 hour day doing physical labor will do it.

an alarm clock and some self control

ITT people find reasons it's not their fault they don't sleep at night when statistically speaking most of them actually just need to find the self control to turn off the fucking screens at night and let your body find its natural rhythm.

Skip one night of sleep, go to bed at your target hour, pref an hour or two before.

wake up at 4 - 6 am

Go to bed at 9, fall asleep at 10

I go through this at the beginning of every school year. All it really takes is about two weeks of being forced to wake up at 6am.

It sounds fake, but it might genuinely be your genes. Scientifically the natural tendency to sleep at specific time is called your chronotype and it's semi-genetic (it also changes with age and possibly few other factors). Not only that, it also affects your alertness: morning people usually have the highest alertness just after waking up and it gradually declines throughout the day, while evening people usually wake up with very low mental functions, but then their alertness slowly rises and hits its' peak around 5-6PM.

So if you ever wondered how it's possible that you always wake up feeling like shit, while others talk about how they're so full of energy in the morning. That's how. They're literally built different.

Work on a mine site and get used to waking up at 4:30 for a 5:30 start to the work day. Then sleep in.

How to become a morning person according to this thread:

• Stop using drugs.

• Use drugs to go to sleep.

• Go to bed at 10.

• Go to bed at 10 and fail to fall asleep.

• Just wake up at 6.

It's a suppository.

Cocaine might do it?

The key is to master dissociation.

Step 1, wake up at 6. Step 2, go to bed at 10. Step 3, repeat.

Adjust the times at which you eat, and make sure those times are consistent. Sleeping habits will follow way more easily if you adjust eating times along with them.

Have you tried going to sleep at 10 and waking up at 6? It sounds obvious, but you'd be amazed at how many people never do the obvious thing. Like forgetting to plug in a computer and wondering why it doesn't come on when the power button is pressed.

It helps to establish a routine for going to bed. For example, set a nightly reminder on your phone 15-30 minutes before bedtime that it's time to wind things down. Don't have anything caffeinated after 5 pm or so.

How it works for me:

Go to bed at 10PM.
Fail to fall asleep until 1AM.
Wake up at 4AM because now I have to.

I just use an NFC tag.

Now I can't turn off my alarm unless I get up, leave my bedroom, and go to my living room to scan the NFC tag on my wall.

it requires doing it over and over again and accepting that it's gonna make you feel kinda shitty. I'm at my best by 11am. When I used to work overnight til 5am, 11am was when I woke up. When I worked bars 5-close, 11am. Now that I work a 9-5, I'm physically there at 9, but I'm useless til 11am. When I fall asleep has changed as my schedule did, for each of those schedules I was in bed at 6am, 4am and midnight respectively. But when the machinery came online has never changed: 11am.
