Could you come in a bit later? Say at 3? Eliminate some of the "waste" but leave enough time to fix problems etc before you start your real productive shift?
To have a full work day I will need to leave for home near midnight which is not something I want to do every day. Also, colleagues genuinely need me to be in the office during standard hours for the efficient communication.
Are you sure you are wasting your time? It could be that you are really productive BECAUSE of these hours, not in spite of them. It varies from person to person, but I need some time doing nothing to become nervous and really start working well. This is why mornings are an awful time for me to do some work..
