Best way to reset sleeping cycle? 1

I always end up like this, where I stay up later every night and wake up later every afternoon. Currently I fall asleep at around 6 - 7 am and wake up around 3pm. I literally work from the moment i wake up till i go to sleep. I pretty much sleep right where I work.
It's been fine like this for a few weeks because I haven't had to directly deal with any clients for work so i have no set schedule, but starting tomorrow I have to be up at 9am for meetings and stuff if I want to get paid.
I need to immediatly switch to this normal schedule. Do you think I should do an all nighter tonight and then go to sleep tomorrow around midnight? Or is there a better way?

I have the same exact issue as you except I put a lot of effort into designing my life to be forgiving and simple, so I am never on anyone elses schedule. If you want to fix your schedule real quick you take several sleeping pills at 8pm tonight, they will knock you down and you'll wake up 8 or so hours later. Wake up at least an hour or more before you have to leave to give yourself time to wake up, have a coffee, relax for a moment, etc.
If you have a few minutes left(once you're completely ready) just sit silently and don't entertain even a single thought, just be the witness for 10minutes or so and don't follow any thoughts, just let them come and go for 10 mins. Some will call this meditation, but for me it just feels like an extremely deep rest while awake, and I feel a lot better after just 10mins of silence.

The best way is to deprive yourself of sleep until you have 6-8 hours before you need to be awake.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Have you tried melatonin? Taking it 30 - 45 minutes before you need to sleep should help. Though you need to lie in bed and rest for it to take effect, as light and activity will just tell your body to stay awake rather than use the melatonin in your system, and it will be converted to something else if not used to sleep.
Then your sleep schedule should be reset for the most part. No need to continually redose it, melatonin is best used sparingly - like not more than once or twice a week.
I'd say you're better off going to bed at 9 or 10PM tonight, waking up around 6 or 7AM than you are staying awake through the night. You'll crash and your cycle could be more messed up afterwards. Not eating keeps you more alert if you choose this route though, and a 12 hour fast can reset your cycle too.
I sometimes have to work 24 hour shifts, and have the following day off, and then have to go back to work at 530AM the day after. I always just pop a melatonin and go to bed at 9 regardless. Might wake up in the middle of the night, but as long as I don't go on my phone I typically get back to sleep and am reset for the week.

All nighters usually work for me
U can also try getting at least an hour or two of sleep, for example u can try falling asleep at 4am instead of 6 or 7, and waking up at 9am, ud be lucky to get more than two hours of sleep out of that, but hey anything helps, even just laying on ur bed with the lights off and eyes closed helps. What ure essentially doing is trying to get enough rest to where u can easily pull an all nighter..

you don't 'reset' your sleeping cycle. it's always on the same clock as it always was.
all you can do is hope your body can adjust to a new pattern, in time. start sleeping earlier, getting up earlier, eventually things might balance out- but you gotta get up early, and go to sleep early, otherwise, you're not going to be on a regular day/night cycle.

There's no way that's true. I've worked night shifts before. That might be how it is in a world without artificial sun rays lining the ceilings of every abode.

I've used ambien for 9-12 hour jet lag and it's not perfect but a whole lot better than no ambien. Careful my wife gets dependent on it by the time the bottle of leftovers runs out.

Melatonin(best/safest), Benzos or Alphablockers are effective at resetting your sleep cycle because you can use them to send yourself to sleep at the right time so that you can smooth out a sleep cycle/circadian rhythm.

i find staying up untill the time u have to sleep is the best way.
Also, exhausting yourself with excerise or mental exerxion (sp?) is good too, that way u HAVE to sleep, u have no choice 
I used to have insomnia, but with my new night 12 hour shift night schedule, that aint a problem anymore!

find out which 8 hours you will be sleeping and stop eating four hours before that
eventaually you should fall asleep even if it's for only a few it's better than nothing
