I sleep best between 4AM and 10AM. I always have and it doesn't really ever seem to change. Whenever I try to go against that norm and get up and get moving then I struggle with depression and a general feeling of fatigue.
My circadian rhythm has remained constant for many years, no matter how much I have tried to change it. I used to beat myself up for not getting up and getting moving, but no longer do that, just schedule my days to start later. I do get anywhere from 8-10 hours of sleep a night.

I'm trying to decide if I have to buckle down and start getting up at the same time every morning. My best sleep comes in the morning between 6 and 8. No matter how badlyI slept during the night, I will feel good if I sleep in like that. The problem is that my body will not allow me to fall asleep without at least 16 hours of awake time. I've always been like this. Even if I only got 4 hours of sleep, if I woke up at 8, there's no chance of sleeping before midnight. It would be preferable to actually be able to fall asleep at 10 pm and be up in the am like a normal person. This may require a couple of sleepless weeks though, I think my circadian rhythm is very screwed up.

I do a strange combination of neanderthin and schwartzbein, so I am familiar with the woe that you are on.
