Hello,
Actually, I did try melatonin, but it put me in an odd and creepy mental state, somewhere between sleeping and being awake. Not particularly pleasant. I've heard it works for others though...bummer for me.
As for the light box therapy, I haven't tried it...yet. Sounds like something to look into though.
It's such a slippery slope with this delayed sleep onset business. If you goof around for one night, and stay up late, or if you sleep in, your delicate pattern is broken, and all the progress you made goes down the drain. It's like it defaults back to the 4am - 12pm rhythm with even one screw up.
I wish there were a shift rotation for dentists in the military! I'd really thrive with that schedule.
Regards,
Matt
