i have a decent job that i can tolerate because i don't really need to interact with others very much and i can wear headphones and just concentrate on my work, anyways i have lots of problems at my job like everyone else i'm sure, but the biggest for me is going to work on time which is 8 in the morning ill either show up at 4 am or 12 noon or anytime in between, i think part of my problem is i stay up all night because there so much stuff that needs to be done then ill lay down like an hour before i should get ready and ill fall asleep, im not quite sure why i know i need to work i have alot of debt but for some reason i dont like working lol i like this job more tehn any other ive had but i feel im in danger of losing it im not sure what i should do ive lost many other jobs for this same reason it seems the only way i can go to work is if i stay up all night then im kinda tired the next day i have "the worlds loudest alarm clock" but i sleep through it and turn it off without even knowing it i just wanted to ask here see if anyone else has had a similar problem or any advice for me before i get fired and have to go work at boston market scooping potatoes

Some of us were just born to work afternoon shift. Anything earlier than a 10 a.m. start, I'm not a happy camper.

Is there a chance your employers can adjust your hours?

Yeah, I have a similar problem, just not as severe. I have no problem arriving at work within a 40 minute window. They would prefer that I arrive within a 10 minute window. Establishing a regular routine, where I go to bed at the same time, get up at the same time, eat more or less the same things at the same time of day every day, helps a lot. I even provided my employer with a letter from my doctor obliging them to put me on a regular schedule.

i let my boss know why i act the way i do and it went pretty well, i was told im in no danger of losing my job and that he would let me know if i was in advance theres noway that i can work past 5 so i have to be there sumtime between 6 and 8am maybe if i just go to bed right after work then wake up around midnight or 1, do what i need to do, then go in at 6. there doing all kinds of crap for christmas and they keep trying to give me presents that i dont want and have no use for and bugging me why i wont go to there party driving me nuts after new years i bet my attendance will be perfect again thanks for all your help guys

You need to go to bed early and get up on time to go to work. That's your fault.
