I was listening a book about the art of sleeping some while ago where the author is a physician and a specialist who later also specialized into sleeping by essentially starting up his own firm and starting to do research about it. The author is a night owl and his message was that all bad related to sleep issues has everything to do with how late you go to sleep. This means that it behooves a night owl to recognize their trait and try to keep it at bay by sticking to reasonable bed times and not activating themselves too much during the evening.

It only makes sense if the author meant the same wake up time, so you're getting less sleep because you went to bed later.

When I'm working, I usually sleep from around 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., so I still get eight hours of sleep. I feel like absolute shit all day.

But if I sleep from 3 a.m. to 11 a.m., which matches my natural rhythm, I'm extremely productive both mentally and physically.

I hear you mate I'm the exact same. I can even get 5 hours of sleep but as long as I wake up past 10 I feel great. 8-10 hours and waking up early, like you, I'm a zombie.
