I’m sleepy as hell!

I’ve been on lamictal for my bipolar2 for over a year now. When I first started it, I took the medication in the morning and found myself dead tired by 2pm. My psych recommended starting to take it in the evenings. Now I do so but waking up early for work has felt impossible! I am always wanting to call out because I feel like a teenager trying to get out of bed for school. I find I’m nauseous and obviously more irritable when I don’t have enough sleep. However, enough sleep these days is 8+ hours to feel totally rested. I work at 630am so I understand I need to sleep earlier but I struggle with that as well. Any tips?
