And feel asleep early, wake up early in the morning with depression, and generally become ineffective in my office. Since I am in new office my colleagues start to question my efficiency in my work. For your information I am newly graduated computer science student. Reply to this Question

 A couple of possible issues you might want to investigate.
First is your health. If you are clinically depressed, that can throw everything off. See a medical professional and get it checked out. If there are chemical imbalances they can cause you to lose interest in many aspects of your life and to function at a very low level. Do this NOW, before it has a chance to drive you down to a level where you can't function any more. It could also be something as simple as sleep apnea, where obstructions in breathing (related to snoring) cause you to come "almost awake" dozens or hundreds of times per night without knowing it, which could make you very "down" in the morning and quite tired.
Second, if you're physically and emotionally OK, how happy are you in your job? Sometimes if a person is stuck in the wrong career it shows up in their attitude toward work and causes them to function at a lower level than they should. A good counselor can offer career interest testing to help you determine what kinds of occupations would be of interest to you. Since you say you are a recent graduate, you probably wouldn't find it all that difficult to make a change to a career that would suit you better.
A couple of things to check out. But either way, get some professional help. No sense in trying to suffer through something like this alone. Your career is definitely on the line here. Take action now, before it's too late.

 Check that you're eating healthily and a variety of different foods - and that doesn't mean eating everything that the "experts" tell us is good for us. Enjoy food. Eating and enjoying what we eat is an important part of our general health and mental health.
Get some exercise. If you wake up really early every morning then go for a short run or a brisk walk AFTER you've had something to eat.
Organise yourself at work. Set targets for yourself over and above what the job needs. Finish tasks before moving on to the next if possible - and tie up all the loose ends in each task so that you're absolutely satisfied you've done it to the absolute best of your ability. Try to set yourself a long-term target - where do you want to be in 5 years time? 10 years time? 20 years time? Plan, and aim for it.
When you finish work for the day, make time for yourself. Find yourself a hobby, or a project that interests you even if it's something as simple as reading some classic novels (or being an "auntie" on an agony aunt website).
Finally, consider talking to a doctor about it. There are a number of conditions that could be causing your problem. Some are easily treatable - and some are treated by no more than the suggestions I've just made.
