I used to have the same problem and it really was hard fixing it. Like you, I would be up all night and even staying awake all day didn't correct it. Someone gave me the advice of getting up everyday at the same time, regardless of when you have gone to sleep. Its helped me a lot, I think my meds play a part in helping me sleep too but I get up every morning at around 8am and I never sleep during the day. It takes a lot of effort and there are times its really hard to get up at 8 (because of not sleeping a lot at night) but if you can give it a go for a few weeks it should help.
On the days you think you won't be able to sleep you could stay in bed and listen to an audio book, its good to equate night time with relaxing and being in bed.
I really do hope you are able to sort it out, I understanding how annoying it can be and it can feel horrible waking up in the evening and knowing the whole day has passed.
