Re:Harvard discovers much faster way to adjust your sleep cycle

I've had lifelong problems maintaining anything remotely resembling a normal, consistent sleep schedule, coupled with chronic insomnia. Two sleep studies several years apart and a CPAP machine have done nothing. Scientific findings of a "food clock" that can override the circadian rhythm for sleep leads me to experiment. For the next 30 days I won't eat 16 hours before I intend to wake. On waking, eat breakfast. I hope this works.

Your sleeping problems resemble mine so closely I could have written that post, right down to the sleep studies and failed CPAP. I sincerely and truly and really really hope the food clock works for you; I'm going to start eating something, anything, when I wake up now.

Thanks--I hope the experiment works also. It seems as though it should, based on my experience. It's also an opportunity to record the results of an experiment in Google docs, using their fancy spreadsheet gadgets.
