Thanks for sharing your story! My night owldom (word?) is part of the fact that I just quit my job and it's kind of a shock to my system. I am having a hard time finding structure in my life again. I would love a day job. I was actually sleeping at night for a bit, but went back to my old ways.
My therapist suggested I NOT take a night job, and I agree. Although I like being up at night, I think I need to wake up at least by noon.
