Depends. I’ve heard (and don’t quote me on this) that if your aim is to reset your sleep schedule, you should wait until the following night and go to bed at a specific time.

Otherwise, if I have work or something that needs my full, awake attention, I’d take a nap but NOT sleep a full 8 hours in the middle of the day because that would mess up my sleep schedule.

I'm not sure what's worse, messing up your sleep schedule or the existential dread that comes with being awake for 24 hours straight.

Caffeine and melatonin supplements ;)

Too busy worrying that my heart is going to implode than I am about my place in the universe

Go to bed!

I used to be able to "do it," but that was in my invincible years. You are impaired and should not operate equipment or vehicles. Your reflexes slow down and so does your ability to make decisions. Spare yourself the fatigue headache and go have a nap.
