When you are out of phase, what is your sleep schedule like? Currently I can't get asleep until about 6am and sleep until about 2pm. Should I try bright light at 2pm when I get up?
Could you give me a more detail explanation on what you did, how you timed the light exposure, and what your sleep schedule was like before treatment?
I'd really appreciate it :)
