From experience, DSPS (delayed sleep phase syndrome - the blanket term for what you describe) is terrible to have. I have found that most people I discuss it with who have normal sleep cycles will staunchly refuse to consider that such a thing could possibly exist. "Have you just tried going to bed earlier?" (wow, never thought of that thanks), "You just need to form a good sleep habbit", "You're just lazy", "Stop making excuses", "Just try harder" etc. - pretty much the same as telling a depressed person to "just be happy"...
Having had a look, that's really interesting that Bupropion helped, since it seems to quite commonly cause insomnia as a side effect. What kind of dose is that?
Half the typical daily total amount used for smoking cessation or depression. I tried a step up of about 1/3rd, and felt ill, so I went back to the initial amount.
Incidentally, I read just now that it's used for ADHD off-label.
