Will staying up all night make my schedule worse or fix it?

Question

So I’ve had the worst sleeping schedule and I have ADHD so I’m not necessarily hyper but I’m so tired throughout the day that by the time it’s time to go to bed I can’t and I will stay up all night and sleep late. I absolutely hate it. I’ve done everything. Sleep aids. I’ve stayed up till 5am (not by choice I couldn’t sleep) and woken up at 11. And I still had a terrible schedule with not having 8 hours. So I’m on my last resort of things and I’m thinking of staying up. But I’m not a teenager anymore and I don’t know if I could survive the whole day. But also nothing is working.

Answer

I have ADD, and have a terrible time sleeping as well. I usually sleep less than other people need to. The last one to bed & the first one up most days- and I'll sleep more every once in awhile, especially on my period. 
So I have some experience here with fixing a sleep schedule. 
Having to wake up the same time everyday seems most effective. Because no matter what, your body will learn it's waking up at a certain time. Mine will basically adjust to that after a bit if it's a reasonable time- but the time can't really be earlier than 7am or I just sleep less & hate my life, I don't adjust to it. 
I've fixed and made my schedule worse by doing the stay up all night thing. Once last year I tried that, and then my body just couldn't remember how to sleep 🙃 it was horrible. I slept only an hour to 3hrs at a time for weeks- I kept starting my day at 2am 🙃🙃🙃 
It was a nightmare, but it eventually evened out and I could sleep at night like a normal person. To be fair, my anxiety was very bad at the time. I could not sleep because I was scared and couldn't calm down for like 2 months. 
Sleep is difficult. Being tired all the time is horrible. 
I hope you are able to get yourself on a nice schedule- and I suggest just waking up every day at the same time instead of trying the stay up thing, because it hardly ever works. The first day might suck, or the first few days, but it'll be worth it.
