Like a thread leading up to the adoption of a dog that only ends in backstabbing?

Only kidding. To hijack my own thread for a second, what you and your wife did was a great thing and I commend you for it. The SO and I are huge advocates of animal rescue.

Usually get to work at 8, so not super early but earlier than I would prefer

That's tough. If I were you I would not drink caffeine after 3. That always use to help me. Listening to music on headphones was very helpful also. Don't get to the point I'm at where you have to take Ambien.

Stay up all night. It will suck. But you will sleep better tomorrow night. It will help you get on a better sleeping pattern.
you say that like it's so easy, what do you do when the next night you lay down to sleep, fall asleep with ease but wake up an hour later, wide the frick awake like someone just IV'd you a pot of coffee and you lay there for the next 6 hours trying l get comfortable enough to even close your eyes and then BAM the sun is up again and it's time to start the lovely day?!!!

Definitely hoping to not get to that point. I normally drink my last cup of coffee (usually cup #4, sometimes #5) around 4:30, so maybe I need to cut myself off sooner. Good advice.

I'm normally a heavy sleeper and keep a decent schedule. The last week or so, I'm up until 4 or 5 and up at 7, and despite being tired, here I am, bitching about it here. Any suggestions outside of drugs and fapping to break this cycle?



The ONLY cure is to get a SO that stays over with you.

It ain't easy. And i don't recommended it on a Sunday night when you have work the next day. I have done it myself, though. First day was bad, but it helped me get on a pattern, for a while.

Put on 2001: A Space Odyssey. You will be out in moments.

Not only is this the solution to your current problem, it's also the solution to most of life's problems. If you can't dope and jerk it away, then it's probably not as important as you think it is.

I've got nothing. I've tried plenty of different things throughout the past few years and none of it worked.

What helps me is staying hydrated throughout the day as well.

5 cups of coffee and the last one is in the late afternoon? Yeah, cut that out.

Must learn to quiet the monkey mind:

You can do this while lying in bed.
