resetting sleep cycles? (newbie)
Question:
Hello, Through a simple pattern of staying up later and later each night during the week of January 1st, I’ve managed to get my regular sleep cycles completely out-of-whack. Last night I went to bed at 4:30AM and got up at 10:30AM. Needless to say, I’m kind of in a fog today. Does anyone have a suggestion for correcting this? Should I just force myself to get up at my desired time (probably 6:30 or 7:00AM) until things straighten out? I haven’t been diagnosed with a sleep disorder, and when I’m in my normal routine, I usually sleep quite well. Thanks in advance, Matt Hoyle mzhzozyz…@ieee.org (remove the Z’s to reply)

you could try "light therapy" look up "DSPS light therapy" in google and you should find plenty info – while this is a temporary problem for you and not DSPS – the same approach may correct your problem — Beth in Australia (I am not a medical professional and anything stated in my posts is my opinion only unless specified otherwise) =================== FAQ for alt.support.sleep-disorder can be found here http://talhost.net/sleep Newsgroup Archives http://talhost.net/sleep/archives.htm this site is a work in progress – feel free to submit info/articles Remove my name to reply

Thanks for the reply, Beth. I read some about light therapy before posting and have been sleeping with the blind of my bedroom window raised. I think it has helped. I’ll check out the FAQ, too. Thanks again, Matt Hoyle

Is it more healthy to have sleep begin before midnight as the common phrase "One hour before midnight is worth 2 hours after" implies?
