I know of no other way and have encountered this myself a few times.

It is a bitch, but only lasts one day. Then you have to hit the sack at the same time from then on.

If you cannot do this, you may need a sleep aid. Do not try with booze or drugs, can really fuck you up or even kill you.

I find weekends best to try this, as you usually have fewer concerns about work and such.
That's definately the way to do it. I've suffered from intermittent insomnia for 14 years now, and that what I always have to end up doing. I can't take most sleep aids, because they make my blood pressure drop dangerously low, and/or I build up a tolerance that could lead to dependance very quickly.

Stay up for 24+ hours, and don't go to sleep until your target day 1+ days later. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work the first time, but keep trying.

If all else fails, go to the doctor, and get rx help.
