> You might look into manipulating your circadian rhythm by taking melatonin during the day rather than at night. You will need to experiment. Try taking it either in the morning or in the afternoon to see which is best. Of course, there is the potential for you to make things worse with one of these choices. I would try the afternoon first. It might be worth a try.You might even try taking it in the early morning hours if the other two times don't work. Maybe 4:00am. That would effectively extend the natural period of melatonin exposure. Maybe you need to have your cycle retarded rather than advanced.
If you decide to experiment, please let us know what the results are.
