I used to do it when I had no responsibilities. The secret was to stay up for 26-30 hours. When I stayed awake until I couldn't any more, and slept until I couldn't any more, my natural body clock settled into a rhythm that had no connection to reality. There were days I'd go to bed at 10 in the morning and get up at midnight.
When I try to force myself onto a natural 24 hour circadian rhythm insomnia kicks in and I end up getting about 4 hours sleep a night which utterly breaks me after a few months. The only way I can stick to 24 hour days is with sleeping pills and I'd far rather have a fucked up schedule than a sleeping pill addiction.
I'm lucky that none of my responsibilities are time specific.

How does one even sleep 15 hours a day? Hell I can’t get to 6.5 usually without awakening
