Prepare for getting up early by staying up all night a couple of times in a row. Sleeping early will be easier and waking up early will seem natural.
I work crazy shifts in all hours and it's impossible to go backwards. Go forward.
So you recommend staying awake for 48+ hours just to adjust to waking up a few hours earlier? Sounds like a great way of getting a heart attack.
I should have been more specific and/or not assumed people wouldn't take me quite so literally. Just staying up until the following time you need to go to bed will do it. Or catch a power nap but don't let yourself have a good long sleep until you can do it at an appropriate time. Within a couple of days you'll be ready to sleep at the right time.
I have stayed up a little over 72 hours once, I do not recommend. I slept a little over 24 hours straight at the end of it. But I got an A- on that term paper.
This sorta worked for me in my teens and early twenties, but not anymore. Now I get so out of whack from just one night up that I'm unable to concentrate on anything at all and just sit and scroll random websites the whole day without actually taking anything in, then I fall asleep at 9pm and sleep till 2pm the next day and feel like absolute shit the next couple of days.
Yeah when you're that tired you have to utilize alarms to keep yourself from oversleeping into the wrong time. If I was up all night and I know I'm going to fall asleep at some point I set an alarm for every 2 or 3 hours so I can still be awake after and be ready to go to sleep at the next appropriate "bedtime".
Had to get surgery on October to fix a severely broken ankle. My sleep schedule was absolute dog shit for months because I would stay up all night watching weird vids to distract from the pain I was in. It was the worst.
Man I remember for like a month after my motorcycle accident I didn't so much as sleep as randomly pass out sitting up throughout the day. That was a nightmare of a sleep schedule. Especially waking up and having to get upright to go pee.
I feel into so many microsleeps. It was the worst. Getting up to piss was also bad because I had a gigantic cast on.
Pee bottle FTW
Fun fact: Camping is a great way to reset your circadian rhythm.
Though it takes a couple days to comfortably sleep the night so gotta factor that in.
If your body clock leans towards staying up at night I have some very bad news - you're going to spend a lot of your life tired and drained!
Main reason that I work nights. If only society adopted my schedule, I'd have it made
the good thing for me is that I am self-employed so I can do my work whenever, the issue is stuff like the doctos, like getting up at 6 am so you can have your blood drawn at 7 am and stuff like that is just fucked.
Hey, that's me.

"Gnome" is definitely a mistranslation. We could call that a "gnomo". "Duende" has no directly translation but it would be more accurate to compare them to goblins or forest sprites than to gnomes.
Wowwwww! Its reeeeearly heeem!
Well, the "Independent Fact Checkers" claim that South American gnomes don't exist... I think they're trying to cover something up. Anyone want to book tickets with me so that we can see for ourselves?
I made this mistake with that Australian guy did that two hour video where he went to South America to do a documentary about hidden land mine fields set up by drug cartels... All the land mines were built in the USA, it was fucked up. He went hard, like how come these drug cartels have US military land mines?
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say they were probably provided to a friendly military dictatorship and/or right wing paramilitary during the era of peak CIA fuckery in Latin America, and from there either were transferred to the cartels via good old fashioned corruption, or got lifted from military stores during the inevitable unrest that happened when said dictatorship collapsed.
GNOME has forever ruined how I want to pronounce "gnome."
I want to say it as "Ñome"
According to Google news, if you leave gnomes in your garden you are probably signaling others that you are a swinger. So I went to my sister in laws Christmas party and they had gnomes. My wife said no. I mean she's hot. But my wife said no.
First no plastic flamingos, then no pineapples, now no gnomes!
What's the world coming to?
I just want kitschy stuff in my yard without people trying to bang me!
Apparently you can't wear black rings or have tattoos of card suites either. Which is funny, considering black rings could also signify that you're asexual.
I don't think anybody knows.
I did not know about the plastic flamingo one. Looks like I'm tossing that out...
I feel this in my sleepy eyelids
Why must life be so cruel, if we all had a super power to choose from, Id choose narcolepsy
I want a nice simple video game dialogue box 'sleep 6 hours', 'sleep until rested' they can put it with the thing that shows what bits of me are actually injured so I don't need to irrationality worry that I've broken my leg or developed a rare super infection without noticing. Maybe a note on negative buffs how to remove them? 'your brain is foggy, it's not anaemia or anything you just need to drink some water and stretch your legs for a bit'
How much exp I need to level up skills would be good too, like I'd be able to practice for ages if I could see the number getting close to the level up mark
I hate to break it to you but if you want to not have sleepy eyelids, you definitely don't want narcolepsy. It makes you tired all the time, plus insomnia is a pretty common symptom with it.
Oof definitly chose the wrong term indeed
But every now and then your sleep schedule becomes so messed up you come full circle and wake up at your normal time (definitely not me right now).
Thanks for posting this! I thought I was alone in this struggle.
Gnomes, you say? There goes my night.
Be wary friend, I went down a massive YouTube vortex on these gnomes.
You can't post this and not link to some of the best south American gnome sighting videos.
Sorry, I'm more of an XFCE kind of person.
Goblin videos are great too.
My interest is piqued. I went and watched a lot of videos about "goblin mommies".

That’s because this guy is probably a teenager or very early 20s and the circadian rhythm of that group is ~3 hours behind.
That can't be true, it has to be because they are lazy and lack discipline

Some people inherently have a later sleep schedule. The reason that's associated with younger people is that up until relatively recently, there was a stigma against night owls and people were culturally pressured into conforming. Now we understand it's healthier to follow your natural sleep schedule and live around it.
