My body it is way out of whack. I have my days and nights mixed up and I will have to go back to work this week. It is easy to say well just go to bed at the right time tonight however thought I was going to last night but ended up falling asleep and waking up at midnight. Didn't fall back to sleep until 7 this morning. Then of course I slept till noon. The odd thing is I am still tired. I do not like these cycles.

My advice to you: caffeine. Obviously, you shouldn't overdo it since caffeine isn't really good for you in high doses. But in low doses and not combined with sugar, it works wonders. When my sleep cycle gets off, I half a glass of caffeinated tea before I leave for the day and then the other half of the glass when I get home (around 3). As you start sleeping better, you can slowly drink less of the caffeine. Do not drink caffeine after 5 o'clock! It causes a higher than normal heart beat and will have the opposite effect you want when you try sleeping.

It will take a while for your body to get back I to your normal routine. I know the first week back will be tough for me but after that it will be fine.
