Sleep Onset Insomnia, or Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, is physiologically different than many other forms of insomnia and requires different treatment. If you are able to get a full night's rest, but just at the wrong time of day, this may be the problem you are having.

Thanks a lot for that link, because this the problem I've been having for so long now.

If a sleep-wake log is kept, it usually shows a pattern of bedtime later than 2 a.m., few or no awakenings once they fall asleep, shorter sleep periods during the work/school week and lengthy (9-12 hour) sleeps with late morning to mid-afternoon wake up times on the weekend." |
That sounds so true for me as I would usually feel tired at about 5am onwards - not so good when you have to wake up at 7 or 8.
