Trying to Change My Sleeping Patterns

Since I'm running a business as well as I work online, I think it's about time to change my sleeping patterns. I usually work at night for my online job. That makes me feel sluggish to deal with my buyers during day time. I need to start sleeping at night again.
The attempt is not yet successful since I was able to sleep at 1 AM and after two hours, I'm awake again. So now, I'm planning to be up for the entire day so that I can sleep at night and work very early in the morning instead. That way, I can deal with my business as well while writing.
I know it will be a challenge to change my body clock again but I have to live like normal people from where I am. It gets harder to be awake during the day since it's draining my energy faster. But I have to do what needs to get done if I want to achieve success in both worlds.

I wish you the best of luck. I have accepted my nocturnal ways, I cannot go to sleep any earlier than 2am or else I will only sleep for a couple of hours and not be rested at all. I started listening to white noise, such as rain fall, to help me sleep and stay asleep and it has been quite affective!

The problem with me is I am fully awake at night and sleep around 9AM already. But I need to make this change to at least sleep while it's still dark.

@DesirousDreamer Sometimes the hardest enemy is ourselves. It's not easy to change that habit but somehow, it should happen.

@cherriefic I used to be really bad until I had the discipline myself to get to bed no later than 2am. I put away all of my electronics and just lie there until somehow I fall asleep. Some nights I do go passed the 2am mark, the last few nights I have been staying up until 4am which I am not a fan of, but I still wake up at the same time every day and take no naps to help me get more tired for the next night.

It looks like it since I ended up sleeping in the afternoon.

It is not easy to shift to another sleeping time. Give yourself a week.

Wow, that's a normal sleeping habit even though it's a bit late. I'd rather have that than be awake all night.
