Brehs, I've fucced up my sleep cycle. Help.

[Cloutius Maximus]

Yo that melatonin shyt works. I took a pill last night and was knocked out from 3:30am to 2:30 the next day. Taking a 2 week break from weed and need this to stay regulated

Regular exercise and cold showers help too

you don't have an anchor you care about that's put on a daily routine.

all of our time perception is centered around anchors and bookmarks that we can easilyh label by second/minute/hour/day/month/year

you wake up at this time to do this, you sleep at this time to do this, you can't wait for this time of the week, this time of the year


best thing you can honestly do is find some media you enjoy. Could be a book, music, TV show, video game, just be sure there's a sequence of it. Chapters, songs, albums....

then don't allow yourself to touch it til a certain time of the day.


CV-19 knocked your routine out of wack. You gotta create one.

Or else wait til life dictates your routine and suffer for a week or so.

I'm going to brush up on my skills while I'm off from work. Movies, books, podcasts etc. Just keeping my mind stimulated. I was up for a promotion before all of this pandemic went down. Can't fall off pace .

Welcome to the club

 

[Smokin Rider]

Mine is the opposite. I typically worked graveyard from 9pm - 5am and I've switched to going to sleep around 2-3am and waking up at 9am or 10am

@Easy-E I have insomnia, I'm waiting for you to go to sleep

 

[Easy-E]

Do like a 20-30 hour streak then crash at 7pm

I tried to do that last week.

 

[nahnah]

I just be sleeping when i feel like

 

[Sad Bunny]

I went to "bed" at 4am CDT...woke up at 4pm CDT 2 hours ago.



A few days ago, I woke up at 2pm CDT and standed up until 3 pm the next day.

Last week; I stayed up for about 22 hours straight.



How do you fix your sleep cycle back to normal?

The only thing that was keeping me waking up around 9 am or 10 am was wanting to go to Chick Fila.

At least you‘re able to sleep more than 4 hours every night

 

[Kokoro]

No caffeine after 4.

Prep for bed at like 8.

Be ready for bed at 10! This means cellphone put away, laptop away etc. The blue light can keep you up.

Take your melatonin and drink chamomile tea at ten. Lie in bed while you take these. Melatonin is effective in small doses you don’t need much. 1-3 mg. Melatonin won’t put you to sleep necessarily but helps the process of falling asleep easier. You’ll get very groggy. So you want to be in bed and comfy when you take it.

Melatonin can also cross the blood brain barrier so you can buy sublingual tablets or liquid melatonin and put it under your tongue or put it in the chamomile tea. When it crosses the blood brain barrier it will start to work in about 15 minutes.

Then the next day wake up no later than 7. Lie in bed too long and it will throw off your new schedule.

Work out.

Whenever you wake up. Do a serious workout. If you have a treadmill, jog or walk 5k. If you have a jump rope do an hour straight. Try to do 100 pushups, 100 squats. Or download/torrent/stream a workout and complete it.

Do that within 3 hours of waking and then just do the rest of your day before you know it you'll be and can get to sleep at a decent hour and actually get quality sleep. Mad difference between sleep quality and sleep quantity.

Exercise. Check.

You're going to have to.try to go to bed by midnight tonight and then get up at like 8 tomorrow.

You might have to cop some melatonin to do it.

This. Take the melatonin several hours before your predetermined bedtime and make sure you get up at the same time each morning. If you dont fall asleep by your wake up time just stay up all day the next day and try again

At this point, I’m dependent on sleep aid, which is the same drug as Benadryl. It’s gotten worse with working from home, because I’ll be up bullshytting. When I was going to work, I had to be up in time to get the 7:10 am train. I would sleep for an hour ok the train, and I’d be good. I worked from home 2 days a week, so it wasn’t bad. Now, I’m home everyday.

I can have wine naps, but I haven’t slept without wine or sleep aids in about 5 years.

I'm worried about using drugs without a doctor.

My job maybe coming back in a couple weeks. I don't wanna fukk up anymore than it is.

This is what I've tried to do with get out before 10:30am for Chickfila and 9:00am for Dan Lebatard's radio show.

But, you right. I watch YouTube and listen to podcast. NOTHING is on a schedule.

I tried to wake up early for a limit release of a Funko Pop (I collect) at 1:00pm

I late my head for a minute and fell out for four hours I'm fukked up.

I went to bed at 5am PST last night . Couldn't fall asleep until 6. Woke up around Noon

Then again, I haven't worked since March 15th

I've always been cool with waking up around noon for a lazy day.

I been doing that since I was a kid.

I'm waking up later and later.

4pm is status

I drank my last Redbull. I'm done with coffee til work starts back.

That's some of the problem. Because I'm trying to use that to keep me up and get back to a normal sleep schedule.

I just brought a few books and will do that.

Your process for melatonin sounds good.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

A couple days ago I was up for 24 hours for no reason. Wasn’t even tired. Still trying to recover from that shyt

 

[1thouwow]

is CDT? Only time I recognize is eastern standard time

 

[Wildin]

@Easy-E

It's about literally wearing yourself out.

I abused melatonin, and used to drink cough syrup to sleep. I was also addicted to caffeine and quit.

To this day the only thing that gets me to sleep is being worn out. Especially on days I don't work (I still work 5 days week).

I dont smoke or drink. Atleast everyday I have to workout or have a lot of shyt to do so toward or at the end of the day I'm worn out. If I were to wake up and just turn on the game system or watch movies or something I can easily be up 36 hours.
