Three weeks of...sleeping at 4 am...and up at 12 pm is driving me nuts. Won't take meds because I need to teach my body to do it on its own. ..any tips??

Stay awake for over 24 hours

Go to bed at a reasonable time and you WILL be able to sleep.

Set alarm so you wake up at a decent time.

Need to reset your body clock, i have to do this often because of my work.

Legit advice. Skip dinner that night too, so your body clock fully resets. Quite hard to do, but it works.

Valerian, melatonin....both NATURAL. GO GET SOME ASAP!!!....:)

When I was a teenager, it used to take me anywhere from 2-4hours to fall asleep.

I found that having a routine to wind down really helps.

What I usually do these days, is after 8pm I watch TV or read until I go to sleep. I favour low lighting in the evenings too as it relaxes me. I avoid anything that makes me think too much. (forums for one!! ;) )

Also, try getting up at exactly the same time every single morning & just go to bed at roughly the same time each night when you feel tired. That will help to set your body clock.

Oh by the way - be careful if you use Melatonin & only use it short term. Yes, it is natural but it is a hormone. Messing with your hormones is a bad idea in the long term. Over here in the UK, Melatonin is Prescription Only.
