Have any of you actually fixed a bad sleep schedule?

[nowiff]

I sleep at 5 am and wake up at 3 pm

It's genuinely so hard to fix does anyone else have similar experiences? It's 6 pm right now and I really feel tired. Even though tired I end up not having the urge to sleep after playing video games for a few rounds.

How? Did you just skip sleep for one day and slept at the correct time the next?

Yes but it took a few tries

Wake up early and endure it until night without taking a nap.
Do physical activity.
Meditate.
Definitely use blue light filters on all your screens at night.
Reduce light intensity before sleep and only use reddish or at least warm-white lights at night (at least 2-3 hours before bed).
Get daylight during the day.

These should help.

Yes, I hit myself in the head until i black out, JK i dont, What i actually do is put on some calming music and focus on the waves of the song while doing military sleep excersise

This is legit, I think it's the blue light from phones. That's what stimulates me alot

if i really want to go back to normal sleep schedule i deprive sleep until at least 19:00-21:00 and then i wake up in the morning, but it shifts eventually after some time, i often have days when i don't feel tired even after 20+ hours awake so i can't fall asleep until morning and it fucks up my sleep again.

Seems interesting. Could help since I have insomnia. I can feel sleepy but not actually fall asleep it's torture

Yes it kills your sleep rhythm. Hours before my sleep my phone, my monitor and my room lights are all reddish tint.
I actually can't go to sleep if I'm exposed to a lot of light or sound or other stimulating things before sleep.

This is true, turn on night light and set its intensity very high like 75% (low intensity won't do anything)

No fixing it. Being a night owl is largely genetic. I suffer from it too and am gonna try for night shift jobs. I have tried way too many times to be a morning person. Never works. All that torturing yourself with only sleeping 3 hours a night because it’s so unnatural just for it to go right back to night owlness in one day of relaxing

I use Twilight on Android and f.lux on PC btw
They are very good and have customization.
For my room I have RGB LED and warm CFL lamp

Probably

I did the 1 day no sleep next day thing and I ended up not getting quality sleep. Like I woke up after 4 hours and still felt tired the whole day. Meanwhile with my "bad" sleep schedule I feel energetic and well rested.

If all else fails I will have to consult a (((professional))) jfl

Same. I have been awake for over 24 hours at times and still can’t sleep at night. Was awake 42 hours straight once and my body woke me up after 5 hours even after that

 

[SubhumanGamer]

I just stay awake for a cool 24 hours and try to fall asleep at a proper bed time
