Just make sure not to eat anything after midnight.....

Wish I had actual good answers, another night awake till 5 am

I suffer from insomnia nightly depending on how wired i am i can be up for 3 days, although this is rare (maybe 12 times a year) Sometimes when it gets too late in the morning i will try to stay awake till 7-9pm that evening then try to sleep, it can work quit well and bring you back (even for a short time)

Well, things have improved in the past couple of weeks; I've been getting up a lot earlier than usual (around 10-11 am, which is much better than before) and sometimes very early (at 7-8 am ).

^ So you managed to gradually adjust your body clock after all! That's encouraging. Do you feel ready to sleep earlier at night now, rather than after midnight? If so, your sleep pattern may improve.

But you did say that you're a night owl, so I think you will always tend to work best with that pattern.

We must have the same default settings. Right now I seem to sleep at 5 or 6 AM (I use ASMR videos) and get up around 1 or 2 PM. I don't generally try to change it since I'm not in a position where I need to. Though I do get into problems when it enrages the dastardly day dwellers. Can't help it though. I've been like that since forever.

My sleeping pills are helping. I've been taking a sleeping pill at 9 pm, so I feel sleepy around 10 or 11 pm and am asleep by about midnight, and be awake and up by around 10 am. There were a couple of nights when I couldn't sleep and went back on my computer, but I made sure I went back to bed before 3 am, so that I wouldn't sleep past 1 pm.



Before and when I posted this thread, yes. In the summer, my old body clock "settings" wouldn't be a problem since it doesn't get dark until about 10 pm. But winter is weeks away and it's getting darker earlier and earlier each day and I wouldn't get enough daylight if my body clock remained the same.
