Open Question

I'm a night person, how do I become a day person?

I have a child and a house to take care of but I have always been a night person. I need to have all the energy I feel at night, during the day. How do I do that?

I wake up around 7 or 8 and go to bed around 10 or 11 but I feel lazy during the day.

At night around 5 or 6 I start feeling like I am wide awake and can clean my house and play with my daughter and am alot happier.

How do I reverse it? Please anything you know can help.

I want to feel how I do at night during the day.

PLEASE HELP!
