How to break my night owl ways?

[Aequitas]

The majority of people around here have this issue, well it seems like it most times, I'm one of those sleepers who since started working full time online I usually am in bed around 4am and wake up around 11am and back to work until 4am again.

It kinda sucks because when you get hit with an ingenious idea and its already 4am you usually end up staying awake until 4am the next day bringing you to the point of insomnia, then you can start hallucinating and when that happens you should probably stop but if you cant or think you can go longer then you should just start a blog about your hallucinations toss up some hallucinogenic drug ads and try to bank from it because 10 times out of 10 when your that far gone any legit ideas you've had will certainly fail from your incoherent thoughts.

Yeah, I'm usually a great wordsmith - but most of the times I post on here are when I'm past the point of tiredness and my brain can't function properly anymore.

Hell the other night I was actually considering investing in exotic chocolates.

I sleep at 3am and the get up till 9, then again sleep for an hour during afternoon. But now I am planning to sleep early and get up early as it making an effect on my health.

I have the same (not a) problem. Pull an all nighter or 2 then it'll sort ya body-clock out for a few days...

Prob not the best solution health-wise, but for productivity a couple of all-nighters a week is great for me.

A month or two ago, I would have told you that you should forgo sleep -- but I'm starting to think that 8 hours of sleep is vital. I was having headaches, daily, and couldnt focus on anything. Doctor said sleep was a requirement and I had to get on a schedule.

To get to sleep, I just had to cut caffeine out of my diet, next thing I knew, 11-12pm and I was out - or at least insanely tired.

One note, your life will literally fly by ... I was used to getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep a night. Seems like march was only like, two weeks long to me this year...
