Make yourself go to bed earlier, then earlier the next night, then earlier. Set an alarm each day and when it goes off, get up (give yourself say 7 hours). Straightforward but effective.

I have found that I can't make myself go to sleep earlier even if I want to- I end up just lying in bed thinking about random shit.
If you want to get into a "normal" routine I would say go to sleep whenever, but set your alarm and wake yourself earlier and earlier. You will be tired as hell for the next day, but don't take a nap or anything, just sleep at night- because then you will be too tired to lie in bed thinking about random shit.

the key is a routine, my problem was always that I wanted to sleep in on the weekends, once I started getting up around the same time every day (within an hour) I evened out.
re OP, for sure my body doesn't run on a 24 hour clock, I would always want to sleep about 8-10 hours then be up about 20, but it makes it hard to schedule your life.

so hard to do though... the sleep just, takes me over.. back in high school i would pull all nighters all the time, but i find it to be so hard now.
on that note did you know the record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses. almost 19 days, wtf?!?!

Recently I had 6 hours sleep in 3 days as I work nights and I had stuff to do in the days. I sleep really wierd actually, for the past 6 months I've been routinely staying awake for 30 hours friday-sat, because I've had no other option. I used to be really good at telling the time using my "body clock", now I'm not even sure about days most of the time! Only 2 more weeks of this hell though...

Set a regular time for daily exercise (gym, run, bike ride, walk), if nothing else.

I started to sleep waaaaayyyy better ever since I worked a regular 1 hour evening walk into my daily routine. More intense exercise will make your body want sleep even more.

Quoting Warpe be carefull not to overdo the exercise, or, like he said, you will need more sleep, and that could hurt your time at the tables. Just do this. Wake up, do 10-15 push ups. Brush your teeth, do 10-15 push ups. Take your shower, do 10-15 push ups. About a couple hours before you want to sleep, fire off a bunch of sit ups. Or jumpsnap. Just something that gets you going.

Same here, I think I'm on a 25 hour cycle or someshit cause when I don't do much with my life I can't get to sleep before 7am and even then it's a struggle. 6-2 is the cycle i'm trying to stick to at the moment.

just set an alarm clock and get up at the same time every day no matter when you go to sleep. I used to have like a 30 hour day where i'd stay up for 20 hours then sleep for 10, but now i have a normal schedule. Sometimes it's a bitch to get up, but overall it's worth it.

My sleep schedule is all sorts of farked up. I'm not a guy that needs a lot of sleep, so its easy for me to screw it up and find myself wide awake at 5 am during a random week.
Since school has ended, I've been going to bed around 8 am lately, waking up around 6 pm. Playing poker for 12 hours, and rinse and repeat.
School stars again monday, so to fix it, I'll simply force myself to stay awake.. So instead of going to bed at 8 am, I'd just stay up another 12 hours and go to bed at 8pm, and the problem is fixed in a day. Probably have to do this today, actually.
I've got to be somewhere at 9 am tomorrow morning, and i just woke up and its about 6pm. If I can stay up for about 28 hours, I'll be back to normal for school.

I was doing good for a week or so, getting to bed at 11pm and getting up at 7am. I dunno what happened, but now it's 6.43 AM and I'm getting ready for bed. And I wasn't even drinking yesterday.

Who the hell needs an alarm clock?... Have a couple of kids, you will never sleep past 7:00am ever again.
Waking up problem solved...
Now if someone can tell me how to actually fall asleep... I routinely fall asleep around 2am.. and I'm up before 7am almost every day. I feel like complete crap 60% of the day.. but when it gets around to the next night.. I do the same thing.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

all school did was make me sleep through class instead of sleeping through nothing.
bad sleeping pattern is just a symptom of a bigger problem known as lack of self discipline and laziness. so how do fix that?

I've been thinking about that, the best solution could be to get a job. That would have some other positive side-effects too  .
4.38 AM friday morning here. Tonight I'm going to go stay with some friends for a little party-weekend, I wonder how that'll affect my already fucked up sleep pattern. I have very bad experiences with little sleep + much alcohol.
Edit: strike that, 7.40AM and counting. Gonna get somethig to eat and then try to sleep. Beat: spent the last three hours surfing random non-porn crap on teh interwebs.

Okay, I've now been up 26-ish hours. It's 10PM and I'm gonna go to sleep. Hopefully I'll sleep 8-9 hours and manage to stay at a good schedule for the next few weeks.
