How long are you giving your body to adapt to the changes? Experience with Fast-5 has taught me that brain/gut/body rhythms are more tightly connected than is generally recognized. They are a complex system that takes several days to weeks to adjust to a significant change in schedule.
Consider how disruptive even a one-hour shift in schedule is when we begin and end daylight savings time -- it throws people off for a day or two, sometimes longer. Jet lag works the same way.
If you haven't kept one schedule for at least three weeks, you may not have given your body the time it needs to adapt.
I hope this helps.
