    I don’t take any medicine. Instead I simply go about my chores, eat a healthy meal, avoid electronics after 20:00 and go to bed at the usual time, i.e. 22:30. After that just wait for sleep.

    Set an alarm? Maybe I’m not understanding the problem. Set an alarm, get up when it goes off.

      I can’t speak for OP, but some people sleep through alarms if they haven’t slept enough. My oldest will legit just sleep through his phone alarm if it has been less than 5 hours since he went to bed. I’ve just heard his alarm go off in his room for 20 minutes straight before I walk in there and shake him awake. Shit is a problem.

        As a person who sleeps through alarms and is approaching middle age…

        It is a problem.

        I wish I had some advice, but I am accepting advice lol.

          People have had success with a watch alarm. The vibration of the watch alarm seems to work better than just sound alone. Might want to try that if you haven’t?

        Sleeping over alarms? That’s easy to fix. One should attach an electrode to his body and charge the capacitor on the other end of the wire. The capacitor is powered by a battery on one side, just to keep the capacitor charged. Then, in the middle of the wire, there’s a relay/transistor that passes current at 3AM, the control signal is sent by an Arduino or something else with a clock. It will pass through the body a short electrostatic discharge needed to shock the body that would be painful but not causing any injury.

        Not an electrician. This may be useful, but without warranty.

        But OP is saying she got plenty of sleep today. Shouldn’t be too tired to wake up tomorrow?

          I am assuming he won’t be able to go to bed at a decent time. I wake up at 6:30am most days and I know I couldn’t go to bed at 6:30pm. If he woke up at 3pm, it would be a tall order to fall asleep before ~4am I’d figure. Which gives him ~3 hours of sleep.

          I think OP’s major problem will be falling asleep again (given how late it is) to then be able to wake up on time with enough sleep to function through the day.
          And, from my experience, sleep (or better: your desire to fall asleep or ability to wake up at specific time) does not correlate to tiredness. Sure, there is some dependency on that, but it’s just one of the factors.

    Be active throughout the rest of the day. Then go to bed. You probably needed the sleep anyway so you’ll fall asleep again.

    Considering I slept 2 hours (1-3 PM) I would go to bed at 10-11 PM and still be fine. If I sleep more than 2 hours, well, go to bed anyways but don’t push myself that hard to sleep

    No caffeine, work out, get outside around sundown, take like half a NyQuil dose at 10pm, read in bed.

    Go to bed at 11. I don’t really see that as being that hard. Start prepping for sleep an hour ahead of time. Put down the screens and maybe read a book. Take some melatonin.

    As one of those “morning people” I would be seriously weirded out if I woke up at 3pm - honestly I’d be really worried if I was drugged or something because waking up after 7am is unusual for me. So to answer your question seriously; it would be to take extra security precautions the next time I fell asleep.
