What should i do to reset my sleep schedule or embrace being a night owl?

[IsabellaG]

My browser has become bloated with extensions, many of which I never use. I want to clean house and only keep browser productivity extensions that actually provide value. What browser productivity extensions have you found genuinely useful for daily work? I'm looking for ones that save time, reduce distractions, or improve workflow without slowing down my browser.

The browser productivity extensions I actually use daily are: 1) OneTab - converts all tabs into a list to reduce memory usage, 2) Grammarly - for writing assistance, 3) Toby - for tab and session management, 4) Momentum - replaces new tab page with focus tools, and 5) Dark Reader - for eye comfort. These provide real value without slowing down my browser.

My essential browser productivity extensions: 1) LastPass/1Password for password management, 2) Evernote Web Clipper for saving articles, 3) Notion Web Clipper for saving to Notion, 4) Todoist extension for quick task capture, and 5) Mercury Reader for cleaning up articles for reading. I've removed everything else to keep my browser fast.

I keep it minimal: 1) Bitwarden for passwords, 2) uBlock Origin for ad blocking (which surprisingly improves productivity by reducing distractions), 3) Dark Reader for dark mode everywhere, and 4) SingleFile for saving web pages as single HTML files. That's it - more extensions just slow things down and create maintenance overhead.

I’ve always been a night owl, but lately my sleep schedule has become completely reversed. I’m wide awake until 5 AM and then sleep until the early afternoon, which makes me feel completely disconnected from the normal rhythm of the day. I’m not sure if I should try to force myself back to a conventional pattern or just accept that this is how my body naturally wants to rest.

I tried nudging my bedtime earlier by 30 minutes every few days and using a bright light after waking. It took weeks and I still slipped, but the window moved a bit and mornings started to feel less brutal.

I've learned the easy answer is rarely true. sometimes schedule, sometimes mood, sometimes just how the air feels when the sun comes up. It helps to be gentle with yourself and not pretend it’s a moral failure.

Is the problem the schedule or what you do once the night starts? I kept wondering if stress or scrolling is the real culprit, not the hours themselves.

I tried forcing it for a while, and it felt worse—like I kept fighting a tide. I eventually let myself ride the late wake time when it lined up with work, and adjusted other things around it.

Melatonin helped a little here and there, but it didn’t fix the whole rhythm. I’d use it only briefly and not depend on it long term.

Small win last month: I started a simple 10 minute walk at noon and stuck with it for two weeks. It made the afternoon feel more real, even if the window of rest kept wobbling.
