Its been like 5 days since ive been sleepless and then i hit the bed at 7am, to wake up at 2:30 pm. I want this to stop but... I cant sleep if i lay in bed early. Ive tried hard enough.

My buddy is like that. Everyday he gets off work his sleep schedule gets more and more ridiculous. It only takes like two days for him to be waking up at 10pm and going to bed at noon.

It's a bit extreme but maybe pulling an all-nighter ? I have your same problem but much worse (sleeping at 11am, never getting up before 6pm) and that's like the only thing that works 100% of the time. You could also buy serotonin pills at the drugstore, but your body quickly adjusts to the extra levels and produces less natural serotonin so it's not advisable in the long-term.

There's a few ways, and they all involve resetting your sleep schedule. Try not sleeping at all one night (or morning) and then sleep at the time you want to.
You could probably get a few ambien to help you do this as well, ask your doc.

The way I do it is just not sleep one night. get up at 3 pm or whenever, and go to bed super tired 10 pm the next day.

You should move to a different timezone to adjust for the time you want to be falling asleep.

*facepalms* Melatonin. That's what I meant. Couldn't remember what it was called and the Google machine said serotonin.

Go to bed at your normal time, but force yourself to wake up when you need to. You should fall asleep a lot earlier after that.

i work a rotating (day/night, 6am-6pm/6pm-6am) 12 hour shift. We switch every 2 weeks. Stay up for as close to 24 hours as you can, then crash. Dayquil/zquil combo works wonders too.

Yeah, I think seratonin is the turkey thing. unless that is trytophin... I don't know. We use the Mal on the kids. it doesn;t hurt and it helps get the jumpy out to get them to sleep. I have a spray that I use on occasion too. tastes like whiskey. mmmmmm

I have mild DSPD (Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder); in other words I don't naturally get sleepy until about 2am, and I wake up naturally at around 10am. This is a problem since while my boss is an understanding and flexible guy, I don't think he'd take well to me showing up at 10:30. The only real way for me to maintain a "socially acceptable" sleep schedule is to maintain a strict bedtime and wake time, and it's very easy for me to get out of sync if I'm not careful.
All that to say that I very often have to move my sleep schedule around to get back in sync, so I have some experience with this.
Most people (myself included) are unable to adjust their sleep schedule by more that 1 hour per night.
The only way I've found to augment this is to take 3mg melatonin about an hour before I want to go to sleep, and sleep with the curtains open so the sunlight in the morning helps me to wake up.
You DO NOT want to use alcohol to get to sleep earlier. While it is a great relaxant, going to sleep with alcohol in your system will mess up your sleep cycles and you will end up with really poor sleep quality, in other words, you won't feel rested when you wake up.
Staying up all night does not help me at all; one of the symptoms of DSPD is difficulty in falling asleep early regardless of how sleep-deprived you are. Your results may vary.
