I had problems with a dysfunctional sleep schedule for a while (well, I still do). I found out that the best time to go to the Super Walmart was around 4-5 am, because no one is there! I oversleep a lot, and then after oversleeping and napping all day I would end up fully awake at very unusual times. I tried Ambien but it honestly didn't make me feel sleepy, just a little "drunk". My doctor prescribed Seroquel, 100 mg, at what-should-be-my bedtime, and it worked pretty well. It would force me to sleep at the appropriate bedtime, and I would sleep through the night even if I had napped all day and didn't need the sleep. I would wake up 8 hours later with no "hangover" effect like some people report. It didn't take away my tendency to nap the day away, but it did mean that if I had to actually get out of bed in the morning and adhere to a "normal" schedule, I could. I don't know if my experience really helps you any, but good luck with getting back to your schedule!
