> I just started talking 3mg melatonin at night to help reset my circadian rhythm to match society's schedule. I think I have delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS). I can't sleep until very late and also don't wake up in the morning very well.

> Deneb*I've found melatonin helpful for resetting sleep cycles when they have gotten out of whack due to depression, mild hypomania, work stress, etc. Also for jet lag. No experience with DSPS.
It only worked effectively if I also addressed the sources of sleep disruption. If I could moderate those problems, a few nights to a couple of weeks of melatonin did the job (and helped whatever I was doing for depression, agitation, stress).
