I just wanted to get a better
understanding of what is going on with me.
So with my situation... I worked at Disney
World for 8 months and I definitely closed
every single night. That mean I didn't get
out of work until between 11pm - 2am. And
it varied with the season. I usually got
home 45 minutes after I got off work and
then stayed up for a little bit and ended
up going to bed really late. And late I
mean like 5 or 6am. I wasn't tired when I
got home so I ended up sleeping that late.
Normally I would sleep until 2pm the next
day and start all over.
Now that I'm back in school, my body is
having a major crisis or something. I have
to get up semi-early, like 10am. I think
my circadian rhythms had been completely
reset when I was at Disney. I seriously
did not feel the slightest bit tired until
5 or 6am, and even as late as 7am. Now
that I've been trying to get back on a
normal schedule like 12am - 9am would be
nice.... its been absolutely horrible. I
want nothing than to go back to a normal
schedule. I feel like crap constantly,
like my body hates me and just feels "bad"
or "sick" and I don't know why. Does this
have something to do with the rhythms? I
don't know how to fix this. Usually I stay
up late, get up early, and I can't for the
love of god prevent myself from taking a
nap during the day. Once I do that, the
whole schedule is reset again and I once
again cannot fall sleep that night and the
cycle repeats itself. It's been a month,
and I still can't get back to normal. But
I heard it takes up to six months to fix?
Is there any escape? I do not want to
resort to taking medications I don't
believe in taking them!

Try to avoid daytime nap for a few days
and you'll start getting closer to normal
sleeping schedule. Naps may improve
nighttime sleeping, but often they
interfere with it.
As I teenager you body is prone to go to
bed in late hours and find it difficult to
wake up early for school.
Do you have some improvements?
