Hi AskReddit!

I have recently changed my hours to work half an hour earlier which has been in effect for about a week, however I ~~stupidly~~ didn't think half an hour each morning would make much of a difference... So I've been going to bed at about 1/1.30am (as normal) and waking up at 7am instead of about 8am and have noticed I'm becoming really tired in the day.

My problem is that my girlfriend has relatives around her house and she really wants me to be there and meet them, so I did last night and ended up getting home quite late. Thing is, the same thing's going to happen tonight (and I might be leaving even later) and I want to be awake for Friday when I will probably want to stay up then as well.

I don't suppose you can offer any advice other than drinking loads of coffee or napping (as I don't have time to now) that would help my situation? Or at least tide me over until Saturday/Sunday night?

Thanks a lot :)
<bot>: I'm really tired because of being a douche and staying up too late, now it's too late to get any precious sleep back. Can anyone help?*
