> Some people actually prefer to take their LDN in the morning. There are two endorphin peaks every 24 hours, one around 3 AM and one around 1 PM. The idea is to reach peak plasma levels of LDN, which takes about an hour, maybe less if you are using liquid or cream, by the time the endorphin levels are peaking.

Garnet, I take ldn (3 mg.) with great results, but I do have a problem with waking up in the morning since I have been on it. I have delayed sleep phase disorder and my natural circadian rhythm has me sleeping from about 3:30 a.m. till 11 a.m. I would like to readjust this (sleep doctor wants me to use light box for an hour every morning before 10 a.m.), but I simply cannot wake up that early since I have been on ldn. Before the ldn, I could set the alarm and get up in the morning earlier if I needed to, but since I've been on it, I just can't rouse myself no matter how hard I try. Would you have any knowledge about when my endorphins might be peaking and what my ideal time to try taking ldn would be? Is there any test (such as saliva testing or anything) to see when my endorphins peak? Thanks, Green Willow
