   How can I get to sleep easier?
  My sleeping pattern is odd just  now, I normally get up at about 2-3pm in the afternoon and go to sleep at 3-4am in the morning, however I want to get back to my normal pattern, wake up at 7.30am and go to sleep at 11pm.Has anybody got any tips on getting to sleep? If I go to bed early to try and get back into the normal pattern I can never get to sleep for about 3-4 hours. 
  Stay up from 3pm day 1 to 11pm day 2, then force yourself to wake up 7:30 and go to bed 23:00 for about a week. That works for me.    For crying out loud, she has fishes coming out of her head on either side. How can you find this hot?!  ;  Sleep is for the weak.  ;  I''m stuck in the same sort of sleeping pattern and I figure that it has to do with an unconscious error in the mind.  The daytime to me seems to represent a time of rest because there is much time left before night to get things done, so why not put it off?  The nighttime, however, represents the minimum amount of time before you have to go to sleep thus you become anxious in having to do things before the next day.  I find it easier to do things at night than during the day and often fall asleep once I get home from school.  I don’t think resolving this is a matter of falling asleep at an earlier time but making your day complete before the time when you want to fall asleep.  ;  I don''t even bother to sleep anymore. I''ve been up for 72 hours now.  ;  How can you stay up for 72 hours without sleep?!?! I can barely stay up 24 hours without sleep, what do you do, just keep drinking lots and lots of coffee?  ;  You get up in the afternoon? Don''t you have to go to school, or work, or something?Victor.  ;quote:Original post by template  How can you stay up for 72 hours without sleep?!?!

Don''t correct my spelling I know it''s wrong and I don''t care.  ;  I go to high school -vic-, I was on exam leave (you get to stay off high school to study for your exams) but now that I need to start going back to high school I'm trying to get back into a normal pattern.[edited by - template on May 26, 2003 11:58:06 AM];quote:Original post by template  Has anybody got any tips on getting to sleep?   You''re asking this on a programmers'' board?Sorry, I don''t have any. I haven''t had any "rythm" for about 10 years, so I need to trick myself in order to keep it stable. I probably sleep about 6 times per week. Usually I try to sleep just a bit too little, which makes it a bit easier to get sleep at the right time. However, I find it easier to keep it at 5-6pm to 10-12pm; I can keep it for several weeks and you avoid crappy TV.
