I'm surprised, though, that you no longer need to use the light box or the melatonin at all. If you have a delayed sleep cycle wouldn't your body be trying to delay your sleep again once you've reset your clock?

> I do still use the light box. Don't know why it was successful, but it sure was! I am very pleased. This is the first time in years that I feel tired in the evening. I used to still feel wired at bedtime and basically had to drug to get to sleep. It may have to do with the fact the the house we have lived in for the last 9 years gets NO direct sunlight into it and our yard is completely shaded with big trees and our neighbors big houses. Our previous homes always had sunshine somewhere in the house in the morning as well as a sunny backyard. The irony of the whole thing is that now we live in Texas, yet we get no sunshine.

Thanks. I really need to get more disciplined and use the sunlamp regularly. If 15-20 minutes every morning is all you need to maintain the early sleep cycle, then I think I can make that time.
