This just happened naturally to me as I got old…
Same, I can't wait to get out of bed in the morning. No use laying there awake when I can have some quiet time for myself with a cup of coffee.
I'm reading this at 11pm so don't ask me
3:30 am here
Drugs. No seriously. Functioning like a normal human requires drugs. Oh and lots of therapy. That helps two
That helps two
Who else is it going to help?
The therapist's bank account, assuming you're going to a private one and not one through a socialized healthcare program

Here's the one trick that normies don't want you to try : Skip one night of sleep and go to bed exhausted between 8pm and 10pm with the curtains open.
I then started having a shower in the morning before work and playing 2 hours of games.
I did this many, many times during my struggles with non-24 sleep disorder. I would repeatedly stay up all night in the hopes that I would be tired enough to go to sleep at a reasonable time the next day.
Typically, one of two things would happen: either I successfully go to sleep at a somewhat early hour and then sleep for a few hours before waking up in the middle of the night unable to sleep, or I would feel tired in the early evening but try to hold on until I get to a normal bedtime and by that point I was no longer tired and I'd stay up late again even after being awake well over 24 hours.
Ultimately, my solution was to work on my own projects for a year or so (not something most people can afford to do). I ignored all requirements around sleeping and just slept when my body told me to. I kept windows uncovered and gradually, the sunlight started waking me up at a proper morning hour. For the first time in my adult life, I have a normal sleeping schedule and confidence I can be at my job on time. YMMV, but getting natural sunlight at the same time each day is huge as a circadian rhythm reset.
It was the fucking worst but I started waking up early every day and then I added running to it. After about 6 months I fully transformed into a morning person. The second I retire, I'm going back, I miss the night.

Have a child and work in a factory. That did it for me. I used to be a 2pm to 4am kinda person.
Don't become a morning person.
Their time will come.
You need a job that starts at 7
9pm: Welp, better start winding down.
10pm: dishes done, everything’s ready for tomorrow.
11pm: let me do one or two things on project #####.
1am: shit i need to wrap this up
4am: dangit
The answer is CPAP.
When you get a proper night of sleep, it's much easier to get up in the morning. Since getting a CPAP, I wake up about 8 hours after going to bed regardless of what time it is. Really helps with jet lag, too.
Tell that to my machine. Then again I'm using like 3 year old tubing and tub and stuff... so kinda on me....

Wait until the next level though, where your bedtime is as soon as you fucking can and you wake up multiple times during the night to pee or just because.
Resignment to the 9-5 life
Just a THC infusion.
While this might help initially, I don’t think it would modify your sleep cycle. I’ve been a heavy pot smoker for 20+ years. The only thing that ended up changing my sleep cycle was getting old. I wake with the sun now.
Apparently, people really are divided into morning and evening people. This has an evolutionary benefit because the group has a shorter time without at least one keeping an eye out.
So... Genetic treatment.
Get a cat, play with the cat or give it a treat at 9 pm. The cat will enforce bedtime
Picking up birding as a hobby is a great way to get up early. The best shots are right after the sun comes up and right before it goes down.
I wish I could bottle or teach my ability to fall asleep quickly and completely. I'd be filthy rich. Sorry, everyone. I am the odd one out.
I need to go to sleep at 10 so that maybe I can fall sleep around 11, and then the opposite issue in the morning.
