i thought my christmas-break sleep schedule was fucked but i only slept between 2/3 and 10/11 and skied after 12.

as anathema said. leave one sleep period out and after on or two bad days you should be back on track.

Melatonin can be helpful in resetting your "sleep clock"; you should be able to get a bottle for a few bucks from any pharmacy, just make sure it doesn't interact with any medications you are taking.

this. only $3.99 or so for a bottle of 100. Works like a charm. Such deep sleep it feels like you blinked your eyes and bam, wake up feeling amazing.

Go to sleep at 7-8am (like usual), then wake up at 10:00am (tired as fuck). Then power through the day, go to sleep at 9:00pm, wake up next morning at 8:00. ?????? Profit.

Just get in your normal rythm just like that. You're young and your body can handle it...

Simply stop eating during the 12-16 hour period before you want to be awake. Once you start eating again, your internal clock will be reset as though it is the start of a new day. Your body will consider the time you break your fast as your new "morning."

For example, if you want to start waking up at 2:00 am, you should start fasting between 10:00 am or 2:00 pm the previous day, and don't break your fast until you wake up at 2:00 am. Make sure you eat a nice healthy meal to jumpstart your system.

make sure you are getting enough sunlight during the day, or get one of those fake sunlight things. Also make sure you have total darkness when you try to sleep. Turn off the computer/tv at least an hour before you want to sleep.

stay up and go to sleep at 6pm. wake up at the time you need to wake up at. when i'm really tired i can sleep for 12 hours. then you'll wake up at 6am. you might be 2.5 hours ahead of schedule, but by the time you are ready for sleep again, you'll be tired enough to fall to sleep right away. i did this method after getting back from japan and my sleep was all messed up. for instance right now it would be 2am there.
