When I was a teen, my sister came home one night hammered. She was worried that she had work the next morning and was going to be hungover.
I told her I saw something on the discovery channel (early 00s) that businessmen do to reset their internal clocks when they travel! They put small flashlights in their socks, pointing them at the back of their knees. Yeah! Apparently if you expose the back of your knees to light while you sleep it totally resets your internal clock!.
Not only did she wedge two flashlights into the couch cushions and sleep on the couch, it placebo worked so well she went to work and told everyone about her new life hack.
