fucked up sleep schedule circlejerk

Over the last 6 months or so I have completely blown up my sleep schedule. My average sleep time has become 4-5am, and my average awake time has become about 1 oclock. I feel like I'm wasting so much of my day, since I'm only awake about 4 1/2 hours during daylight. I had an 8:30 (am) lecture last semester, and I ended up going to it 1/3 of the time, so I kind of blew that.

Not only that, but pressing the snooze button has become second nature when I'm just slightly conscious. Not until too late do I actually comprehend what time it was that I was supposed to get up. Well, I guess getting up will be my early new year's resolution. I have already made my resolution solution facilitator:

I've got that clock. No push pins, though.

Make a schedule. You HAVE to get up at 8 every morning and go to bed at 11. Do it for a month of so, and your body will adjust to it. Otherwise, you're going to continue getting up and going to bed super late.

This is a lot easier if you have a real reason to do this (ie., a 9-5 job). I'm talking from experience here. I only recently got over my 20+ years of insomnia.

My normal sleep time is 5am to 3-4pm. I just woke up at 4pm right now.

Try getting more than one alarm. Or move that alarm away from arm's length, so you have to physically get up to hit snooze or whatever.

I have the same problem like half of the year. But if fluxuates for me. I have this old stereo with an alarm function. It's so loud that it scares everyone in the house, myself includd half the time. I tend to get up just before it goes off, for fear of the loudness.

I'm not very consistent, since sometimes I just can't fall asleep, but I try to get into bed around 1am and up by 10am most of the time. It's break though, so I'm doing the 3am-12pm thing and it's great.

This semester, I was typically 4/5 am to 11/12, depending on the day.

I've got a 9:30 class next semester, though, so I might get back to normal-ish hours.

As far as alarms go... Last year, I found myself waking up while sitting up, about to hit the snooze button. I've kept the alarm at a distance since.

I only have class 2x a week next semester. I will not get back to normal-ish hours. In fact, I may just pick up alcoholism.

If you're in college, your sleep schedule will be fucked up. It's just the way it is.

I've done the 4:00-12:00 thing for a long time, but recently I've been having to get up around 7:00, so I've been falling asleep around 12:00!

Next semester I have classes only 2 days a week and they start at 9:30. :/ My sleep schedule will have problems if I can't find a reason to get up on the off days.
