My friend SC on Facebook posted this link to How to Naturally Reset Your Sleep Cycle Overnight. Apparently there are two body clocks, one based on daylight and one based on our eating cycle. The eating cycle resets after a long fast, and overrides the daylight-based one. The article suggests that if you don’t eat for 12-16 hours during the time you want to stay awake, then you can change your sleep cycle in one day. I haven’t tried it, but it sounds like an interesting idea.

Don’t know if it’s of any interest but I’ve managed to somehow completely change my sleeping rhythm within the space of a a week or two. You can get hold of watches that will monitor your sleep and wake you up at the most appropriate time in the sleep cycle so that you feel as fresh as you can be on however many hours you got. I used to be pretty awful getting good sleep along with waking up on time and it really did interfere with everything in my life (some of the stories are horrifying). I think there are a number of different brands around but it might be worth checking out. Just a thought.
