I've become totally nocturnal, and it's not all good.

Drink a smoothy thatll knock you out.

 

You need to reset your circadian rhythm. You gotta get so tired, you don't know what to do with yourself. Stay up all night. Stay busy. Mow yard, wash car, etc. THEN stay up all day doing stuff that doesn't involve pointy tools or heavy machinery until about 1900. Set your clock for 0600. No hitting snooze. Up at the first beep of the alarm. Give yourself enough time for a shower and a cup o joe. No lingering around, then head out and start getting stuff done. By 1700 you'll be whipped and ready to snooze again. Stay up until 1900 or 2000, then set your clock and get some shut eye.

I ran nights for 10 years. Before that I ran swings and graveyard since I was a teenager. This is the only thing that works for me flopping my schedule.

 

And yes, you can mow grass in the dark, that's what the headlights are for.

 

you should have stayed up day 1 until at least 9 pm preferably midnight and then you would be awake during the day.

 

I dont think the neighbor's would be too happy,lol

 

I run nights lately. Sometimes I'll be up for 43 hours. I crash hard on those days. It's kinda weird, I'll feel tired driving on days I feel like I got plenty of sleep, and other days I get no sleep and feel fine on the road. I seem to sleep well every other day after a sleep debt has built up.

 

Dig a hole in the yard at night and watch the neighbors reaction

 

Try taking a healthy dose of melatonin when you go to bed at the reasonable hour. Always knocks me and the lady on our butts when our rhythm is out of whack. I usually take about 4mg, sometimes 5 while she takes 3mg.

 

You have neighbors?
