The "skip a night" sleep schedule reset.

Well it's 5.30am and I'm still wide awake so I guess I'll just stay up until tonight and hopefully get back to waking up and going to bed early.

I've only done it a few times over a decade ago.. Hoping it works again this time but the next 17 hours are probably gonna be pretty unproductive.

I nearly always hit the wall between midday and 3pm the next day and just crash when I do that. Or take some psychoactive substances which we won't talk about here...

Tis a great tactic to use alright. Wouldn't like to try it on a school night though, in that case I'd try and bag 1-3 hours of sleep knowing it will make the day easier

I've only managed to stay awake in to the following day until about 2pm. If you can I'd stay put until 8 or 9am and then get up. That way you'll have had at least a few hours sleep and be tired enough to go the bed at a reasonable hour that night.

I'm working from home at the moment and tomorrow is a quiet day.

I remember feeling more refreshed after 3-4 hours sleep than I was after 6-7 hours. Don't think I ever pushed through without at least an hour or two though.

All y'all need to hang out with a newborn for a week. Try a scatter of near sleepless nights in a row to make sure you pass out every time you blink...

I usually do this if I'm coming home from America, although there can sometimes be a stop and power nap necessary on the way home from the airport. I can't sleep on planes.

I've done this a few times, I find I'm almost manic the next day. The lack of sleep turns me into a looper.

Well I lasted 40 hours and went to sleep around 11pm.. Feel grand today. Up at 8am, had a coffee and should be back on track.
