I'm 29, and I still don't have enough frontal lobe development to go to bed at a healthy hour. A flexible work schedule doesn't help either. There's a big difference between going to bed at 11 PM and sleeping 8-10 hours and going to bed at 2 AM and sleeping 8 - 10 hours. The rest just isn't the same. When I really want great sleep before a big interview or something, I turn off all things digital and yoga/stretching, basically a wind down routine.

You have to start doing that as a matter of course. It can't just be for the night before an important day, it has to be routine. When I practice proper sleep hygiene, I feel immeasurably better. Usually takes about a week, maybe two. Think of staying up late like eating poorly. You can do it once in a while, and that's more than fine, but you can't make a lifestyle out of it without big consequences.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI am exactly the same way, and have been since I was young. I didn't wake up early for Santa: My parents woke me out of excitement. I feel better, physically and mentally when I sleep and wake at the later times. I sleep through alarm clocks at times as well, and it took me years to figure out how to minimize this. I feel great right now, but I'm not working and waking around 11 or noon. And as a side note: I'm 38.
