    I should have been more specific and/or not assumed people wouldn’t take me quite so literally. Just staying up until the following time you need to go to bed will do it. Or catch a power nap but don’t let yourself have a good long sleep until you can do it at an appropriate time. Within a couple of days you’ll be ready to sleep at the right time.

    I have stayed up a little over 72 hours once, I do not recommend. I slept a little over 24 hours straight at the end of it. But I got an A- on that term paper.

      I do first shift and I have found myself very naturally falling into a polyphasic sleep schedule. I sleep 4.5-6 hours at night and after work I take a 20 minute power nap. It does wonders for me!
