[edit] Free-Running Sleep
Banditman, welcome to wikipedia. Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Here's my two cents, keeping in mind, I'm not a doctor and don't know what I'm doing.
The first thing would be to try to CURE your free-running sleep through the right combination of light therapy in the early morning and then doses of melatonin at night. Between the two of them, they almost always synch sleep schedules.
If that really can't work, there are a few things that can help. It is an actual medical disorder, and universities in the US at least are required to help accomodate you if possible, so discussing this with your university would be a start. Hopefully, they could provide you with lecture notes, alternate test times, and things like that. On-line classes, which are now being done by lots of reputable universities, is another option.
Regarding work possibilities-- telecommuting would be something to look at, as would any job that doesn't require you to be anywhere at a given time-- author comes to mind. --Alecmconroy 08:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

You might want to join the Niteowl listserv. It's a support group for people with delayed sleep phase syndrome, but many people on it have non-24-hour tendencies as well. Best of luck and take care, Kla'quot 05:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
