I've always been a night owl, struggle to get sleepy before 01h00. Perfect world, I'd be up to 03h00, sleep until 10h00, not an option that works well with the average job.
Start your own business - where you can run it the way you want to, and the hours that suits you
Been there, done that. 2 years of working 24/7 was enough, and plenty. I worked the hours that suited my customers because I didn't want to turn anything down, and it became a habit. And, by the way, turned me into a night owl!
Although thinking about when you had worked for someone else, helps.
There is no happy medium
It depends too. I wanted to get out of the rat race and the only way I could see how to really do that is to start something which was "setting the pace". So its completely new and unique, that way its totally up to you how you want to deal with things (which makes it robust).
I find there is a cycle I go through with sleep. I cant live by an alarm clock.

Have you tried what I call a "Split shift" pattered in sleep?
This is where you sleep for, say four hours, and you go about your usual day, then sleep the remainder at another time with in a 24 time frame, so you gewt your full eight hours sleep.
I used t do this when I had a 9 to 5
You get home and go to sleep for four hours, then you go out all night and in the early hours go to sleep for the rest of the four hours.
It used to work really well.
