Sounds like Familial Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome

There isn't much in this article, but the closely related disorder, Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome has a lot more information.

These are both bundled under the collective name of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder, Which is certainly an interesting read.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
