How to remedy a fricked up sleeping schedule?
Posted on 8/27/21 at 8:15 am

Had COVID 3 weeks ago, with high fever for the better part of the week. Slept an average of 14 hours/day, mostly during the day.
Consequently, my circadian rhythms are way off. I'll fall asleep briefly around midnight, then wake up at 3am and not fall back asleep until 6am. My alarm will wake me back up at 7:30 and I'll be super groggy for my morning meetings. Work all morning loading up on coffee, nap for an hour 12-1, work all afternoon, be wide awake in the evening, rinse repeat.
Been going on for the better part of 2 weeks now. Any of you baws know what to do to fix this?

Best I can offer is to try to go to sleep at different times to maybe shake your body of it. Try going to sleep at 7 one night and see how much sleep you can get. Then maybe 10 another time. No idea if that would work, but my thought is maybe it will break your body of those habits and you can scale it back to your normal sleep schedule.

My best advice is exercise consistently to wear out the body and no caffeine after noon. Those two things help me when I do them.

Have you tried melatonin?

sleep in 3 hour incriments for two days in a row. 3 times a day, REM sleep should be back to normal the 3rd day

Yep. Makes me drowsy but will not put me to sleep.

Stay awake for 3 days and don’t drink any alcohol.

Weed and jacking off.

Try to do some exercise before you go to bed. Nothing crazy but like 20 push-ups and 50 crunches take a shower and lay down and see how that works. If not read some, it helped me at least fall a sleep when I did not feel like I could.
Now staying asleep was a different matter and if I woke up I would read again (a book, not your phone) and sometimes that would work

Currently in the same situation. I had to stay up for 24 hours to be able to fall asleep before midnight.

Meth, you won’t need sleep(j/k). Try cutting out the naps for a few days and make sure to stay on schedule during the weekend.

Stay away from caffeine for a while until your body gets back into it's normal sleep routine. When your body gets tired enough you won't have to worry about staying asleep.

Run stairs until exhaustion, shower, relax for 30 minutes, eat a low-carb meal, and then read a book about economics.

This is almost exactly opposite of how circadian rhythm works.
Some of you need to stop giving advice on shite you don't know about. Not knowing is fine, giving dumbass advice is not

can't to relate to any of this, I've lived a good portion of my life working circadian flips and never really had issues with it, I swear, if I needed a 15 minute power nap I can lean up against a wall and sleep, and conversely have flown all night to London or Buenos Aires and went immediately out and walked 18 holes of golf
