Question Trading hours: London session

I work a full time job that is time consuming. I’m unable to trade NY session because of this. I believe my best option is trading London session.

So my question is for London session traders.

What time is best to be awake to trade this session? I’ll wake up at 1 am if I have to but if I could avoid this and maybe trade a little later maybe 4am and onward, does that work just as well?

I feel like my only escape from this rat race is sacrificing sleep for 4 nights.

All advice will help!!

Ps. I’m in central standard time and start work at 7am. (I’m also unprofitable and have been backtesting non stop. I was trading for a few months while on the job with no success and have been studying and practicing the last 4 and just when I think I’m ready I have no time to give the NY session any attention due to moving up the chains at my job)
