First, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome If it applies, then a change in career is probably best. I'm happy freelancing anyways :) Probably the most interesting thing to take out of this is that being tired will not help you get to sleep earlier - but being rested will. Other than that, I now use black tea as a caffeine source (only two cups, at the time of day I'm most likely to be drowsy), put a couple variators instead of light switches to be able to dim the lights, use f.lux on my comp and don't read in bed. It works pretty well.
