Might you be a person whose natural rhythm of work is night owl? Maybe you just need to rearrange your life so you are doing the equivalent of a night shift to take advantage of when you really can do good work. Not everyone is effective and works well during the day.

You might also take a look at how light and diet are affecting your sleep patterns. If your sleep is upset then you're effective working times will change. Getting on a good regular schedule of healthy meals and enough sleep might help.

I'd take a look at articles and info on how shift workers deal with changing shifts and on jet lag and see if you can either adapt to a different working schedule or adjust your body clock to the schedule you want to have.
