odds the not turning off is the drugs they have u on......one of the side effects of a class of them is u basically turn into a vampire life style it messes with your sleep patterns

ideally if u can working in another timezone is the best choice that way u can do what u have to get your sleep and still do everything in working world (telecommuting)

the other choice is to set up a night time routine ....combine this with meds from the doctors to knock u out and get u to sleep once u lay down ......i personally like to stay up for 32/48 hours before i try to reset my hours .......Sleeping Tips & Tricks - National Sleep Foundation

as for the hypo if u use it effectively and keep someone around u at all times to keep u in check then it is not to bad of a tool ............it is when u are by yourself and decide to buy something or do something or go somewhere is when u get in deep troubles
