At the time I was diagnosed with DSPS I was working days and sleeping split shift: about 3 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and about 5 to 10 p.m. (oversleeping now and then, of course). The sleep specialist didn't like that. <b>One</b> sleep episode in 24 hours, not two! OK, so with melatonin & light box we got me onto an acceptable, to the doctor, schedule. But if I'm not awake between one & three or so, I never get any brilliant ideas! Retired now and sleeping about 3 a.m. to noon. Much better, thank you. Oh, yes, this sounds familiar.
