    Prepare for getting up early by staying up all night a couple of times in a row. Sleeping early will be easier and waking up early will seem natural.

    I work crazy shifts in all hours and it’s impossible to go backwards. Go forward.

      This sorta worked for me in my teens and early twenties, but not anymore. Now I get so out of whack from just one night up that I’m unable to concentrate on anything at all and just sit and scroll random websites the whole day without actually taking anything in, then I fall asleep at 9pm and sleep till 2pm the next day and feel like absolute shit the next couple of days.

        Yeah when you’re that tired you have to utilize alarms to keep yourself from oversleeping into the wrong time. If I was up all night and I know I’m going to fall asleep at some point I set an alarm for every 2 or 3 hours so I can still be awake after and be ready to go to sleep at the next appropriate “bedtime”.
