      I can’t speak for OP, but some people sleep through alarms if they haven’t slept enough. My oldest will legit just sleep through his phone alarm if it has been less than 5 hours since he went to bed. I’ve just heard his alarm go off in his room for 20 minutes straight before I walk in there and shake him awake. Shit is a problem.

          I am assuming he won’t be able to go to bed at a decent time. I wake up at 6:30am most days and I know I couldn’t go to bed at 6:30pm. If he woke up at 3pm, it would be a tall order to fall asleep before ~4am I’d figure. Which gives him ~3 hours of sleep.

    Be active throughout the rest of the day. Then go to bed. You probably needed the sleep anyway so you’ll fall asleep again.

      Seriously this.

      If you went to sleep the previous day at 0900 hours and woke up at 1500 hours, You’re not going to reset your circadian rhythm in an afternoon. It’s better to just stay up all night, and the next day, then at 22:00 hours go to sleep. No lights, no phone, no TV, just lay in bed until you fall asleep. And that should reset you.

      Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep until 2200 hours.

      If you need to, take energy drinks, do some jumping jacks, put tea bags under your lip like tobacco chew.
