There are a few websites about it, like this one:

https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/non-24hour-sleep-wake-disorder

It's common in blind people, but he is fully sighted. His sleep doc told him that it's very rare for sighted people to have it, but here he is. He doesn't currently have a job, so his sleep schedule winds around the clock like a drunken sailor. It's frustrating for him, and I don't think he has found any "cure" but he's trying to find a doc or clinic who can help him.

Not sure if this is any help, but know that you're not alone.

Good luck.
