It sounds like you might have a sleep problem instead of a focus problem. Without good sleep, you can’t focus.
One thing to try is melatonin (0.3 to 0.5 mg). Take it around 8:30 PM, then stay up past the point it makes you drowsy (it will kick in in about 30 minutes after taking). Got to bed at a normal time like 11:00 PM. You’ll probably wake up around 7:00 and be wide awake, and have much better focus during the day.
Doing this will help you align to the rest of the world’s schedule, which like it or not, is really when most people are expected to be working and available, and will also help to align your social schedule with others.
