In the meantime afternoon naps are a regular feature.
Look up Biphasic sleep. I think that's what I've had all my life and I don't fight it. It's not a problem now that I'm retired.
When camping I'll even get up and have coffee or tea then go back to sleep for another 3-4 hours.
I really enjoy being up in the wee hours. So peaceful. Time to read and just be.
