I'm always waking up at 3pm

Missing breakfast and lunch, and usually end up having only one meal a day (as well as going to the gym). Is this dangerous? :s-smilie:

Not dangerous, but in the long term it can be detrimental to your health. I did that for about a year, year and a half.

Try going to bed by midnight (or if you find you can't, stay up for an entire night and go to bed early the following day) and setting an alarm. Eat something for breakfast (doesn't really matter what). Congratulations; the day is once again yours.

It really is just a case of breaking the cycle. If you've got nothing to do with your day, start a creative project or something rather than staying in bed. You'll live longer.

Same with me, although I usually find time to eat. Normally around 4, 9 and then maybe 1am xD Not necessarily full meals though.

Dangerous in that you'll never improve your physique living on one meal of buttered toast a day.

This used to happen to me too. I used to go to bed forcefully around midnight, just to go to sleep and would wake up every night at 2AM and couldn't sleep till the next night.

The problem is still here, but not as bad, I sorta go to bed around 3AM and wake up at 8AM, and lay around for an hour then get up. So I've sorta fixed my problem... ish.

Never skip meals. Even if your pattern is totally screwed, still fit in breakfast when you wake up, dinner about 3 hours before whenever you're planning to sleep and lunch at some point in between. You can forget about having meals at exact/specific times of a day if you're sleeping through most of it =\ .

NB: Trying to sort your sleeping pattern out should be your priority, regardless. You'll be better for it.

Force yourself to get up at 6AM, have a liquid breakfast, and go back to sleep if you need to..

Hit the reset button on your sleeping pattern. It will involve a couple of days of pain, but you'll be better off once you've done it. Then eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Although, if you're staying up late, aren't you eating anything else at night time? Snacks or whatever? I don't think you could be healthy just having one meal and nothing else. :s-smilie:

scoop of whey protein + 100g ground oats + skimmed milk

Its what I have every morning... sooo convenient, and pretty much exactly what the body needs at that time

It's rather simple to correct; pull an all-nighter, then go to sleep at say 10PM tomorrow night, setting your alarm for 9AM. Slowly work the alarm back to 6 or 7, whatever time you want to get up. You shouldn't have any problem falling asleep, but if you do, a mug of Horlicks will do the trick.

Have 3 meals a day - brekkie, lunch and dinner.

Same here, been having to do that recently because of my summer project.

Need to cut out distractions (like TSR) and focus on getting back into cycle.

Try to get up early so you can eat at the right time but if you can't do that then I suggest trying your best to eat 3 meals a day.
Maybe after you wake up then 6 in the evening then the last would be 9 to 10 PM. :smile:

One meal a day is but the sleep habit intself is fine if you still sleep standard hours albeit later than most people!

Assuming you wake up 3PM, you must go to bed around 6AM?

Just have breakfast at 3PM, lunch at 7PM, dinner at 2AM.

There is no rule that you have to eat a certain meal at a certain hour, your body isn't some sort of all-knowing clock.
