Good on your for recognizing that and not putting up with the destructive health consequences.

Yup. When you've tried your entire life to be that "early riser" that's traditionally highly regarded but its just not you, eventually you have to say #### it. And no longer care to bend yourself into a type that you're clearly not.
Don't know about others, but I need really high quality, uninterrupted sleep to not feel totally doped out and not myself early in the morning. That's achieved only some of the time.
Work should not have to be such a struggle physiologically, and you want to be in a state where you can offer your best work and self.
My conclusion has been that there has to be a good handful of jobs out there that meet my time window where I can be useful. And there usually are.
If you're a nocturnal person that functions best in the second half of the day then all the power to you man. Some of us are just different.
Long mornings mean a lull in energy at 2-3 pm anyways. What's the point. Start your work day at 10-11 and be able to kick ass till the evening hours
Imo it's something we should normalize!
