Once a night owl, always a night owl

Since getting this job where I have to be there at 7am, my sleep schedule has changed a bit. I force myself to go to bed between 9:30 and 10 so I can get in 7-8 hours of sleep. But somedays that just doesn't work. Yeah I'm tired and all, but here it is, Tuesday night at 10:15pm and I'm back to my old habits, playing on this computer, not wanting to go to bed yet.

I think it's just how my internal clock was set up. Since I was a little kid I can remember sleeping in late (we're talking noon here people) on weekends, during summer when school was out. And then finding a job where I didn't have to be there till 11? That was the jackpot for me. So here I am after 10 years of working that schedule, and now have to do a 180 and be up at literally the crack of dawn. I've been there for 2 months and I'm not sure I'll ever get used to it. I mean, I do my best sleeping and dreaming during the wee hours of the morning. Sometimes I think graveyard would be the best shift for me. That way, I sleep when DH is at work, I get up when he gets home, we have the whole afternoon and early evening together, then I go to work when he goes to bed. Genius. Then the whole snoring issue wouldn't necessarily be as big of an issue as it is. Now....where is this job??
