Shifting sleep patterns is impossible for many people.

I have to wake up at 7am for the last 5 years or so, and it's always a torture. I have to force myself to go to bed at 11pm to tolerate it.

When I can afford to wake up at 10am, I am bright and happy and can go to bed at 3am easily.

And there is nothing particularly "normal" in waking up early.

Interesting, but sadly most of us cannot afford to get on the free running sleep schedule this article advocates. However, I really agree with the practice of not trying to go to sleep until you know you'll be able to knock out within a few minutes.

Either way, you're not going to be getting your "scheduled" sleep so might as well spend the time on something other than lying around agonizing about it. And, the right kind of relaxing activity actually helps me get to sleep sooner than I otherwise would have.

(Btw, the comment originally consisted of just the bit I quoted. The rest is fine, but the first bit is not ok.)

That's not very nice, the guy was just trying to help.
