> where you delay your usual sleep time by 3 hours every day for a week until you reach the desired time then you stick to it.

Could you elaborate a bit more on how this works? Are you saying you’re going to bed 3 hours later each day for that week?

The linked Wikipedia article mentions doing this with an hour offset each day (as an example) start with with Day 1 sleeping from 5pm to 12am which doesn’t make a huge amount of sense to me without additional context of why you’d start at that particular time…

Sounds interesting all the same.

For example if you usually sleep at 2 am, you start by sleeping 3 hours later at 5am then sleep at 8am the next day then 12pm, then 3pm after that and so on until you reach the desired time. Seems weird but it works wonders. You may need someone to keep you accountable and stick to the set schedule for the week though.

How does it work when you have rigid responsibilities during the week?

Work/kids/pets, etc.?

Well, it seems like you can't do those things when you're asleep... I suppose either you find a way to move those responsibilities to when you're awake or you can't use this technique.

Ok got it. I may give this a try!
