Apparently it is a lot easier to push it forwards than it is to pull it backwards. Pulling your body clock backwards is exactly the same as having jet lag, which could be why you feel so crap.
The advice I read suggested going to sleep a little later each day but sleeping for the usual length of time. If you usually sleep 8 hours and go to bed at 3am, try getting 8 hours from 4am, then 8 hours from 5am etc. Eventually, you will have pushed your body clock forwards right through the day to a reasonable sleeping time.
Of course this means that for a while you will be sleeping through the day which isn't practical for most people, and is the reason I didn't try it. If you are able to sleep through the day, it could be worth a try. |
Y'know I remember reading something along those lines, too....I hadn't remembered that earlier. Maybe if pulling the clock backwards doesn't work well with all sorts of adjunctive helps it would be worth trying, tough though to sleep through the day, hour by hour. But maybe necessary in some situations.
