Check out https://www.supermemo.com/en/articles/sleep https://www.supermemo.com/en/articles/sleep You probably can normalize your sleep pattern by forcing yourself forward with sleep time a bit every day (if you want to of course).

Fuck off. I didn't ask for your help. And i'm over 40 now and not an idiot, someone else has 'helpfully' explained that to me in the past. About 100 times. If it had worked, I wouldn't be posting here.

Shifting sleep patterns is impossible for many people. I have to wake up at 7am for the last 5 years or so, and it's always a torture. I have to force myself to go to bed at 11pm to tolerate it. When I can afford to wake up at 10am, I am bright and happy and can go to bed at 3am easily. And there is nothing particularly "normal" in waking up early.

Interesting, but sadly most of us cannot afford to get on the free running sleep schedule this article advocates. However, I really agree with the practice of not trying to go to sleep until you know you'll be able to knock out within a few minutes. Either way, you're not going to be getting your "scheduled" sleep so might as well spend the time on something other than lying around agonizing about it. And, the right kind of relaxing activity actually helps me get to sleep sooner than I otherwise would have.
