Perhaps it is because you turned your night-day rhythm around. It could happen if people stay up late and take that one step further every day. It could also mean that your melatonin pique is of balance right now. It is probably best to try and stay awake during the day and then lay in your bed at night even if you're not tired. Also, try to avoid watching television, tablet or on your phone before going to bed. White light wakes your body up and will decrease your melatonin( a hormone that makes you sleepy) production

There has been a study done that says that ample sleep hours during the day are between 1 and 3 pm. It's possible that your body has synced more with this time, perhaps it's when you end up falling asleep. I know that it's easy for me to find distractions at night (Tumblr, netflix, etc.), and so I often fall asleep around 8am. It's comforting to be in the light, isn't it? I watch a lot of horror films, so that might be part of it for me.

Maybe you're a vampire! Haha, that's a high school joke.
But in all seriousness, you should probably re-train your brain to sleep when it's dark. That means you should go to sleep at your normal time completely free of distractions (Such as cell phones, lap tops, tablets, etc.). Also you should only go to your bed when your intent is to sleep. Studies have shown that people who use their beds only for sleep and intimacy statistically tend to fall asleep on time according to their preferred schedule and stay asleep for the duration of the night.

Well, I've read that because we constantly have artificial light surrounding us at all times our natural sleep cycle has been warped. It used to be that people slept for 4 hours, then got up for a couple hours and then slept for another 4. Shutting off electronics before bed and not drinking too much is supposed to help with maintaining a more natural REM cycle. It might help to write and then clear your mind by practicing a short mindful meditation before you sleep. But, being up at night can be really nice and calming too, so it depends on what is more important for you.

You might be a cat.
There are a lot of different things that can keep a person up at night, including how much caffeine they consume before bedtime, how much anxiety they are experiencing, the type of television they watch before bed, interaction with electronic devices, and if you're a woman who is over 40, it could also be related to menopause, as I'm just beginning to learn.
It may be easier to sleep during the day if you're exhausted from being awake all night. There are a lot of different things you can try to sleep better at night, like setting up a regular sleep schedule. I've also learned over the years that if I can't sleep for a few minutes then I need to get out of bed and go do something else until I feel tired again. Some people associate their bed with a variety of activities like reading, being on their computer, talking on the phone. Researchers have learned that the only activities that should be associated with the bed are sleeping and sex. So you could also try to set up your room in such a way that it is only used for those two purposes. Do everything else in another room, if possible.
When I go to bed each night, I put on a guided mediation to help me relax and fall asleep, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I hit replay. Often times it will get my mind off of what I'm thinking about and allow me to sleep again. You could also try moving your bed to a new location in the room to break up the cycle you're in.
If the reason you're not sleeping has a psychological component to it (nightmares, unresolved trauma or stress, etc) then I would suggest you speak with a counselor to work on those issues.

Your circadian rhythms are upside-down! Check your sleep hygiene and try to develop and stick to bedtime routines to help turn them around. If insomnia persists, seek medical advice.

You need a regular sleep hygiene. Wake up everyday including the weekends at the same time irrespective of when you fall asleep. Its difficult at first. But, you can do it!

May be your internal clock has set itself like that, it makes you more active during night. morning sleep is just the fatigue that you face after not getting a good night sleep.
You can work on it to reset it by making a personal timetable and follow its strictly..atleast for your sleeping hours.

It's about ten cycles. You tend to sleep the most deeply at night, but if you can't relax enough to sleep, then your body will shut down when it either feels safe or is too exhausted to function.
