Do you think I should stay up all night to reset my internal clock? [I Lack Sleep]
I've been waking up so late these days and the sun sets so early, I'm starting to feel quite disoriented.

Best thing to do is to try sleep early and wake up on time. Tough but try.
Few things you can do to help:
1. When you wake up (say 7pm to 8pm) - get some sunlight in your eyes, that would help reset your circadian rhythm (internal clock)
2. avoid bright lights (esp from screens at night) - again tell your body its night time and its time to sleep
3. Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea or any caffeinated drinks at night.
4. Prep yourself for sleep, warm shower, have more carbs (if you eat them) for dinner, snuggle up in bed and just rest till you sleep.

@audioinsde I just end up laying in bed for hours and hours if I try to go to sleep at a normal time because my clock is so off.

@thursdaygirl that's tough - it happens, so you need to prepare yourself for bed. tired yourself out. run, do workouts, masturbate, take a warm shower, read a boring book, keep light away from your eyes,
if you're awake out of habit, you can reverse it, if there is other issues, like hallucinations and stuff - then you might need professional help.

@audioinsde It's definitely out of habit. It just kept creeping later and later until now I'm waking up at 12-1pm and going to sleep at 4-5am.

@thursdaygirl I learn all these because I have even weirder sleeping patterns due to bipolar
3-4 h per night for 2 weeks (hypomania or elevated moods)
10-12 h, even lying in bed for 2 days in a row sometimes (depression)
things I share are grounded in proper studies, I hope they help you
