>Actually, my mate has this problem and when he switched from working from 3pm-midnight to working 8am-5pm, I had enormous problems waking him up. I tried knocking him out with trazadone and Remeron (mirtazapine), which really made him into a zombie, and finally settled on low-dose sublingual Melatonin. And until just lately, he would just stay up if he woke around 4 am, otherwise, he felt completely horrid the whole day after having slept past this "natural" wake-up time.
Another factor to consider, if you do stay up, you will usually be able to go to bed a little earlier and fall asleep easier and hopefully help reset your sleep clock. However, if you keep yourself up just as late you are liable to sleep in the next day.
Best of health to all!
