Staying up all night makes you feel like crap throughout the whole day, I've tried it :P

That being said, unfortunately there isn't too many other ways to get into a completely new sleeping pattern. Simply going to sleep earlier doesn't work for me because I end up just lying awake in bed tossing and turning for a couple of hrs. There is sleep medication, but those should generally be avoided...

Get some Melatonin, turn off anything that keeps you awake and go for a solid run an hour or before you need to get to sleep. The combination will give you some decent sleep and could help you to get back on track

Watching some boring shows, i.e. K-ON and King of the Hills, puts me in sleep very well.

You could try that 5 hour energy crap I have no idea if it works though. Caffeine will likely help in general. Don't lie down even if you feel light headed or drowsy cause you will pass out

I find them both pretty boring to watch. In fact, I hate almost everything by KyoAni except for TSR and Fumoffu, and everything by Maeda Jun except for Clannad. KyoAni is exactly the reason I don't watch anime anymore. so I guess we won't get along with each other very well but I do like Lia :P

Try watching something. Stay busy. Laying down should be avoided. Games are good . Basically have something to do.

I just start a couple days before school getting in bed at the right time and waking up at the right time. If I get to bed later I still wake up at the same time and it puts me on schedule in 2 or 3 days.

If you can get even a small nap in, it's better than constantly staying awake.

Other than that, binge on caffeine?

Too much caffeine will lead you to crash eventually. I say just try to be active.

What about tea? :3

So are you not sleeping the night, then staying up all day, then going to sleep at a school-esque time?
I've never done that before O__o
I end up staying up 'til 6-8am a lot though.

If your stomach can handle it, boil some water with 4 tea bags and reduce it to about half a cup. That should get you through the night lol.

You will be able to stay awake but you will feel so bad. Honestly, 2 hours of sleep is better than none trust me I've done it many times.
