	There are several ways to start your adaptation. In most cases, the recommended way is starting [[Special:MyLanguage/cold turkey\|cold turkey]], where you simply start sleeping according to the schedule right from the start. At first, it is expected that you might not be able to fall asleep for all sleeps. Over time, the situation should resolve, as you ~~reaches~~ later [[Special:MyLanguage/4-Stages Adaptation Model\|stages]] of your adaptation. The tiredness and difficulty waking up from sleep is also expected to worsen significantly, so make sure you are prepared for that.		There are several ways to start your adaptation.
