Title: Messed up sleep schedule
Post by: nuclear on November 26, 2022, 09:17:12 PM
Somehow for the past few days, I've been staying up until 6 or 7 AM and end up sleeping until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. And the cycle continues.

While I don't mind this new nocturnal (unintentional) schedule that much, there are times where I want to be awake during the morning and afternoon (more stores are open and whatnot).

Just a minor pet-peeve of mine recently.

Try melatonin about two hours before you usually go to bed.

It sounds like you have developed a shift in your sleep schedule, which can be frustrating when it interferes with your daily routines. There are a few things you can do to try and reset your sleep schedule to a more regular pattern.

First, try to establish a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. This may take some time to adjust, but it can help regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.

Second, make sure your sleeping environment is conducive to sleep. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. Avoid stimulating activities, such as using electronics or watching TV, before bed.

Third, avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening, as these substances can interfere with sleep.

Finally, if you continue to have difficulty resetting your sleep schedule, consider talking to a healthcare provider or a sleep specialist. They may be able to offer additional advice and treatment options to help you get back on track.
