I should have been more specific and/or not assumed people wouldn’t take me quite so literally. Just staying up until the following time you need to go to bed will do it. Or catch a power nap but don’t let yourself have a good long sleep until you can do it at an appropriate time. Within a couple of days you’ll be ready to sleep at the right time.
I have stayed up a little over 72 hours once, I do not recommend. I slept a little over 24 hours straight at the end of it. But I got an A- on that term paper.
Yeah, We used to work festivals where we’d do actual 20 hour days Saturday to Monday and get drink and high for the other four hours - by Monday morning takedown the tiredness would be by far the strongest drug
One time I had a conversation with my friend about how weird it was watching yourself load a truck, then it hit me that we couldn’t be watching ourselves from outside the truck and realized suddenly we were inside doing the work. We were both totally out of it so we went to take a break and stood at the back of the truck but when I looked in we were still working and it was the exact situation I’d been seeing before.
No idea the real order of events but my perception of time was messed up beyond anything I’ve experienced, if I lived in a less scientific time I’d 100% belive I’d time travelled or done weird magic. I assume the events must have been muddled together after or something but it felt so real.
I do first shift and I have found myself very naturally falling into a polyphasic sleep schedule. I sleep 4.5-6 hours at night and after work I take a 20 minute power nap. It does wonders for me!
So you recommend staying awake for 48+ hours just to adjust to waking up a few hours earlier? Sounds like a great way of getting a heart attack.
