I am not, and have never been a morning person. Well, besides when I was in Australia at first. My body wet back to going to bed at 1am and getting up at 8am by the time I left however.

If I go all the way around, my body will compensate for the lack of sleep, and go right back to where I was.

For example:
Sleep Wake
3am - 8am
4am - 8am
2am - 9am
no bed
7pm - 8am (I could wake up earlier and the next night wouldn't change much)
1am - 8am (I wouldn't be tired at 7pm on this day)
5am - 12am

And this isn't something that is new to me. In college, this sleep cycle was perfect. When I was unemployed, I went to a 36 hour awake, 12 hour asleep cycle, and now I have been working for 5 years and have made it in to work by 8am less than 10 times. I don't think will power is going to cut it this time.
