ps you have no idea how much i hate to admit that ^
...The best way to fix a sleep schedule is to wake up on the time you want to get up, no matter what and not be a lazy fuck who sleeps in even if they don't want to. If it's too difficult to go to sleep 4am and wake up 8am try waking up 10am and start waking up earlier.

Going to sleep earlier does NOTHING even if you get to sleep, your body still wants to sleep until the normal time you usually wake up. So if you work out say for a few hours or w/e and go to sleep a few hours earlier then normal you will probably just end up sleeping 12hours because your body is exhausted. I do not see how that could ever fix a sleep schedule.
