Since adolescence I have had great difficulty getting on a socially-accepted sleep cycle. I usually cannot fall asleep until as late as 2 AM and have difficulty waking up except under emergency conditions or when I know the night before that I absolutely must get up the next AM or it will lead to bad outcomes (eg: must-be-there work meeting or personal/family event, such as a wedding, etc.). Without a sense of imminence, I can't do it. I have tried sleep meds like Lunesta and Ambien and while they are good at knocking me out, they do not result in an improvement in my wake-up time.

My best hours for productivity are between 3 PM and 7 PM. Consequently I often get into work by 11 AM (later, too) and will stay until 6 or 7 PM. I am an IT guy so I can kind of get away with it but it has led I am sure to a decreased chance for promotion and opportunities outside that technical role (ie, no one has ever said I'd make good mgt. material even though I have been the de factor manager of any number of technical projects ranging in headcount from 1 to 5 other people; it's just no one would give me an explicit promotion since it would set a bad example). I am often not productive until after 2 PM because my brain just doesn't like to kick in before then. But when it does, I am very good at what I do, which is why I haven't been sacked for keeping these weird hours. (I am also good under pressure and am a good analytical problem-solver; this has at times been the only reason, aside form my good nature, that has kept me form being sacked due to my keeping unorthodox hours) I friendly and outgoing, and make fun of my own persistent tardiness, so it makes me easier to tolerate among my coworkers and bosses. Still, they really wish I was more "normal" in this regard, and I don't blame them for that.

Now I am in my 40s and like many people as they get older, they need to make more money to increase their ability to contribute to life goals. However it is hard for me to get there when I am a 2nd-shift person in a 1st-shift world. Aside form IT support work and call center work, there are few opportunities for second-shift hrs in the IT world.

The closest thing I have been able to find describing the type of person I am is found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome

As interesting as that is, it is not of interest to the type of people who like to start work at 6 AM. And it is these people who get the supervisory jobs and cuss you out when they go looking for you at 10:30 AM for whatever reason and can't find you. You get the idea? Does anyone have any advice on how I can "fix" myself here? The article from Wikipedia is not encouraging. It basically says, you have to live with it.

So please, does anyone have any advice from the herbal remedies, etc. point of view on ways that I may get some kind of relief or solution to this problem?

Thanks, and dandavat pranamas.

P.S. You may have noticed I just started a separate topic re mixing Haritaki and Ashwagandha. I have found either one of these will help me become more alert between 11 AM and 3 PM so I can at least be functional in those hours. Frankly, I am amazed I have done as well as I have job-wise given my "differentness" on this matter.

You have a problem with your biorhythm. You're body's just mixed up. It's very hard to break this cycle yourself. Insomnia can occur at any age. Try going to a doc & ask for a short term sleeping medicine like Restoril or Ambien. Then take it early.. It will knock you out earlier & your body should respond by getting up at a "normal time" Sometimes students develop this problem from either studying all nite or partying.....sometimes due to anxiety or for no reason at all.
