I would not recommend it unless your life situation absolutely warrants it as circadian rhythm problems are associated with lots of problems including high risk for psychiatric disorders and cardiac issues in long term. And you should definitely not try to do so on your own
Next Steps
consult a psychiatrist regarding your sleep issues
