No caffeine, work out, get outside around sundown, take like half a NyQuil dose at 10pm, read in bed.
This is the exact advice I’d give, maybe take a full nyquil dose
Lol, half a dose? More like 2-3 doses. Just watch the acetaminophen levels and you’re good.
Be active throughout the rest of the day. Then go to bed. You probably needed the sleep anyway so you’ll fall asleep again.
Give up on life. Hope for reincarnation so that I can do better the next go-around.
Procast-incarnation, the final form of enlightenment and eternal life.
I’ll… fucking manifest, tomorrow.
Maybe
Set an alarm? Maybe I’m not understanding the problem. Set an alarm, get up when it goes off.
I can’t speak for OP, but some people sleep through alarms if they haven’t slept enough. My oldest will legit just sleep through his phone alarm if it has been less than 5 hours since he went to bed. I’ve just heard his alarm go off in his room for 20 minutes straight before I walk in there and shake him awake. Shit is a problem.
As a person who sleeps through alarms and is approaching middle age…
It is a problem.
I wish I had some advice, but I am accepting advice lol.
People have had success with a watch alarm. The vibration of the watch alarm seems to work better than just sound alone. Might want to try that if you haven’t?
But OP is saying she got plenty of sleep today. Shouldn’t be too tired to wake up tomorrow?
I am assuming he won’t be able to go to bed at a decent time. I wake up at 6:30am most days and I know I couldn’t go to bed at 6:30pm. If he woke up at 3pm, it would be a tall order to fall asleep before ~4am I’d figure. Which gives him ~3 hours of sleep.
Ah, never had that problem. I’m like a soldier, I can always sleep.
I think OP’s major problem will be falling asleep again (given how late it is) to then be able to wake up on time with enough sleep to function through the day.
And, from my experience, sleep (or better: your desire to fall asleep or ability to wake up at specific time) does not correlate to tiredness. Sure, there is some dependency on that, but it’s just one of the factors.I can’t imagine sleeping til 3pm unless I really needed it.
Sleeping over alarms? That’s easy to fix. One should attach an electrode to his body and charge the capacitor on the other end of the wire. The capacitor is powered by a battery on one side, just to keep the capacitor charged. Then, in the middle of the wire, there’s a relay/transistor that passes current at 3AM, the control signal is sent by an Arduino or something else with a clock. It will pass through the body a short electrostatic discharge needed to shock the body that would be painful but not causing any injury.
Not an electrician. This may be useful, but without warranty.
Wonder what happened to my kid and dog. Also rejoice that I can sleep in tomorrow.

So a typical Sunday, then?
feel really bad about myself for 16 hours
Stay up until 11 and get back on schedule.
I’d just deal with the lack of sleep and be tired the next day.
Sweet, just enough time to get hammered before bed.
I’ll just skip the night 👍
Seriously this.
If you went to sleep the previous day at 0900 hours and woke up at 1500 hours, You’re not going to reset your circadian rhythm in an afternoon. It’s better to just stay up all night, and the next day, then at 22:00 hours go to sleep. No lights, no phone, no TV, just lay in bed until you fall asleep. And that should reset you.
Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep until 2200 hours.
If you need to, take energy drinks, do some jumping jacks, put tea bags under your lip like tobacco chew.
Even if you fall asleep early (like 20:00 tomorrow) then that’s likely fine - if you get up 8 hours later that’s 04:00, which might be a bit early but shouldn’t mean you’re too tired to finish your day. And most likely you’ll get a bit more sleep than that and get up at 6ish.
Assuming an 8 hour workday, and allowing an hour for getting ready in the morning and commuting to work, that means OP has been awake for 24 hours at the end of their work day. That’s a serious amount of sleep deprivation for one not used to it. Depending on the type of work and the commute I wouldn’t recommend that. Getting a little sleep is better than none, even if it doesn’t feel like that when getting up.
Get 4 hours of sleep and call it normal.

Lmao literally did exactly that on Sunday. I slept until 3 because of a hangover, allowed myself to pull things together, and then did house work before running errands. Sleeping again at 11pm was easy
I find after drunk sleep I’m still tired anyway and can sleep even after monging out and eating crap all day
Go to bed at 11. I don’t really see that as being that hard. Start prepping for sleep an hour ahead of time. Put down the screens and maybe read a book. Take some melatonin.
Boom baby. Tonski to the rescue
