sleeping schedule or pattern

Could you please tell me how to correct the following sentences?

1 I've been on a normal 'stay up during the day and sleep at night' pattern schedule timetable. I need to get my sleeping pattern schedule back on track and sleep during the day and wake up at 7pm for work. I can't afford to wake up at 9 am and go to work at 8pm.

2 I need to get my sleeping schedule back on track. I've been sleeping at 6am every day. I need to go to sleep at midnight not 6am.

3 Work around babies sleeping schedule pattern, when she wakes up you need to be there for her and not be going to sleep.

4 To be on schedule, does that mean that we will sleep at night and not pattern messed up.

5 Lets pull an all nighter. That way we'll go to sleep early tonight and we'll be on schedule. We will no longer be jetlagged.

6 Try not to get up too late so that you don't get your sleeping schedule pattern off whack.

Thank you for your help

Thank you
