>Once you have a consistent schedule, barring medical issues, sleeping is easy
I respect your personal experience, but you are coming on a little strong in terms of assuming everyone is just like yourself.
Something I've seen other people mention, and may have myself (although not formally diagnosed):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder
I have worked 8-5, 2-11, and 11-8, and no matter what my schedule was, I had the urge to stay up a little later, but needed at least 8 hours to feel adequately rested. So typically I would get 7 hours or so and feel exhausted every morning. Without work or appointments, I would rotate my schedule around the clock, day by day. It's as if I was tuned to a planet with a slightly longer day.
After many, many years, I found by accident that bupropion (aka Zyban aka Wellbutrin) fixed it, just like that. It was amazing. But I wasn't able to tolerate a full dosage, so that didn't last. It does point to some dysfunction of nicotinic receptors.
