Health Routines

I am a huge night owl. I have something called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome; I diagnosed myself by reading the symptoms off the internet, I’m not a doctor. It’s a disorder where the person cannot fall asleep before 2 am, like I stay up until like 3:30 or 4:00 in the morning, and really have a hard time getting up in the morning, on my days off, I sometimes don’t get up until 2:00 in the afternoon–so what I’m doing is very very wrong. The good news is that this disorder doesn’t cause me to be late for work or school–I can still get up early when necessary, the only downside is that I lose sleep. You see, I can’t get up early for no reason, but I would like to, hoping that it will improve my mood. My friend says that he gets up early because “he feels like it.” I wanna be that way without feeling weird or tired. My biological clock isn’t normal, which makes me a worthless piece of crap to society, and I would like to change it. I would like to have fixed sleep hours where I go to bed at midnight and get up at 8:00am everyday, so I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to reach my goal in a short period of time. I want to get into this new habit like really fast, like within the next 48 hours or else I’ll lose my mind and get really p*$$ed at myself. Anything I can do to jump start my new habit here? Cause I kept hearing how overtime that having set sleep hours improves mental health? Is this true, I really wanna get better, like fast!! Any suggestions are cool, thanks.
