I've currently been up for ~29 hours straight, in my desparate attempt to kick myself into being able to get to sleep before 4am. This does have the net effect that I'm feeling a mite fuzzy right now, despite the amount of caffeine floating around my bloodstream. To the extent of "no, can't do that work. Nowhere near that level of concentration" getting applied to a fair amount of my todo list, and my eyes defocusing every minute or so.

I hope this works....

Don't zonk out too early though if you can help it; in the past, if I've ended up needed to reset my sleep pattern, staying up 30+ hours and then dozing off late afternoon or early evening just leads to waking up at around 3, 4 in the morning and being stuffed again.

Exactly my plan...ah. Slight glitch. I appear to have lost the last 90 minutes. Not that much of a bump and I'm now awake enough to make it to midnight-ish.

Oh, it can definately work. Re-syncing your sleep pattern by essentially missing an entire period of sleep over the course of a few days. I'm well practiced at it. And it works.
For about 3 or 4 days. And then you start going to bed later and later again. Right back where you started.

Given that the extreme mis-sync was due to timezone hopping, I suspect it might work for getting back to my usual sleep patterns i.e. will still be going to bed later than I should, but better than "not before 4am".
