I quit tobacco and got my addrenals fixed with supplements now I'm always up by 5 even though I don't have a job.

I was the opposite. I used to stay up till 4 am most nights. I'd get so much more done when everyone else was asleep.

What supplements help with that?

edit: I’m reading adrenal fatigue is not really supported as a condition in medical circles.

Adrenal fatigue is indeed pseudoscience. There is no scientific basis for the existence of adrenal fatigue, and the term should not be confused with a number of actual forms of adrenal dysfunction such as adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease.

While you can work unbothered in these late night hours same as morning hours, I did personally find greater benefit in working in the morning over late at night: opening hours of shops, sports facilities, etc. are more convenient. You're mileage may vary depending on where you live of course but here in Western EU there are almost no 24h stores so good luck doing any shopping after 19:00pm.
