What can i do about having no sleep all night? take a nap or fight off sleep until tonight
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fight off sleep: Better not to nap. Better to stay awake then go to bed an hour or two early. If you nap you will probably have insomnia again. If your circadian rhythm disrupted due to travel or changing shifts at work you should try melatonin. Melatonin is a natural hormone that can help reset your body's internal clock.
