> As a night owl I'll echo the early morning exercise suggestion as an additional data point. I was worse than you...for over ten years. I used to work nights. I'd go into work at 4 PM and get back home anywhere between 2 AM and 4 AM (my theoretical midnight out-time never happened). As a result, waking up between noon at 2 PM was pretty normal. Again, this was the case for over ten years. I was eventually faced with having to flip my life to a normal schedule. That took a few years. What made a huge difference was exercise. This is when I got into strength training. I'd get out of the house at 5:30 AM to go to the gym. By the time I went to the office I was definitely fully awake and functional. It didn't take more than a couple of months for this schedule to become my new normal and for it to feel easy. A year later, waking up at 5:30 AM happened normally and without having to use multiple alarms. These day I wake up at 6 AM even if I go to sleep at 1 AM. If you are interested in making a change, you might want to consider early morning exercise.
