No, you can’t. The biological circadian rhythm in your body isn’t that great at keeping time, people in caves have their circadian rhythm drift a great deal.
The key factor is setting your circadian rhythm is getting bright lights in the morning. And no artificial lights don’t even compare to an over clouded day. There are special lights for people with SAD, so if you do have to wake up when it’s dark then those lights can help set your circadian rhythm.
Also I think all he evidence around nigh owls really mean and hour or two difference. So no it’s not normal for anyone to be awake all night.
So I think it will be impossible to counter all the bad effects, but your best bet is to use special SAD lights when you wake up, and use strong blinds and stuff to make sure it’s dark when you sleep.
If you are on a varying schedule than melatonin might help.
