I’m in the same boat. It’s very hard for me to operate on a schedule compatible with the rest of society. I can force myself into it, but I never really feel well rested. What makes matters worse is if I don’t keep my sleeping schedule for two or three days, everything gets messed up again and I see myself reverting back to falling asleep at 3am. It’s really hard and it limits greatly my employment options. I’m sure my career has been severely impacted by it, since most management positions require lots of early meetings. I am an engineering manager now, but it’s hard for me to enjoy my job, because it often requires early meetings. So it’s hard to really be good at it and progress in the career. My perception at workplace is that most managers are early risers, and people who stay forever at senior engineering level are the night owls.
