quiregrrlOMG, this sounds like it was written about me!
Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome
For as long as I can remember I have found it near impossible to go to sleep at a "regular" time, and get up at a "regular" time... I function soooo much better if I can go to sleep about 2 in the morning and wake up about 10 or 11... It's an early night for me usually if I am in bed by midnight... and I struggle in the mornings to wake up and get up on time, and am chronically late for things in the mornings, and have been since my teens. I was always late for school, I'm frequently late for work, my last job they changed my starting time because I was literally incapable of getting there at 8am, I just could not wake up that early.
When I'm on holidays and have the opportunity to sleep to my own schedule, I reliably will go to sleep about 2 or 3am, and wake up naturally at about 10am, and don't feel constantly tired.
