Night owls with early morning jobs..The irony!

I am one of these types of people. No matter what time I go to sleep (whether its a decent time or not), I can honestly say that if I could, I would sleep in until 2 PM EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's like I was programmed this way. I've tried to turn myself around, especially after getting a second part-time job that requires me to wake up at 4:15 AM on most days, but for some reason..It just doesn't seem to work. I am still groggy in the early morning, and I get an incredible second wind at night. I obviously chose the wrong type of job to fit my personality.
Have you ever done this? Thought that you could "turn yourself around" by trying something new, and it later became apparent that it just..wasn't going to happen? Have you ever gotten a late-night or early-morning job when your body is habitually used to sleeping in the opposite hours? Is there any thing you can do about this?

I am a nightowl that holds a morning job and I hate it. Don't get me wrong, I love my job but I certainly hate the whole idea of getting up in the morning and having to go to work because I'm not a morning person. I could sleep in until noon or later. I prefer being up at night because I'm more comfortable and I think that I'm actually more productive at night than I am during the day.
However in my line of work, it just isn't possible to find a job that would allow me to work later in the day. I'm not cut out for anything else, or at least I don't think I am, so I just have to deal with it the best that I can.
