    To combat jet lag, or otherwise reset your sleep schedule if it has drifted…

    1. Go 24 hours without eating.

    2. Go to bed early enough to make sure you get 8-10 hours before you normally want to wake up.

    3. Using an alarm, wake up a bit earlier than you usually want to wake up.

    4. Make a big breakfast, eating when you normally want to wake up.

    Now your body will have reset its circadian rhythm, and you’ll naturally wake up at that time.

        Yeah I find that if I don’t eat enough I will have a very hard time sleeping from the hunger pangs. It can even wake me up in the middle of the night even if I’ve already managed to fall asleep.
