Try finding what sleep cycle YOU prefer and see if you can adapt your life around it.

Some peoples clocks just aren't geared to the 'up in the morning' routine. Trying to force that schedule often causes more problems than it can fix. If you can get what you need done using your own natural cycle then do that. Not all folks can do this because of lifestyle commitments/responsibilities etc that can't be changed or accommodated but if you can, it may provide the relief you're looking for.
That makes sense to me. I've tried normal sleep hours. I can't seem to do it. I prefer going to bed early and waking up early. Then I usually fall back to sleep before the sun comes up and sleep a couple of hours. I feel better emotionally allowing my body to sleep this way.
