Sleep disorder.: Your experience is akin to shift work sleep disorder. When your sleep schedule is erratic and unpredictable, your brain doesn't know if you want to be awake or asleep, so you stay in the middle, tired during the day. It sleep onset and quality are poor. No real way out of this save medications, which aren't the best way to go either. Sleep schedule has to be regular & predictable.
