Interesting. I was going to recommend taking melatonin to help regulate sleep.

I take melatonin (in it's natural form from the drug store) on a nearly nightly basis, so that I can keep a regular schedule.

I have symptoms similar to DSPS, but not quite as severe and since learning about melatonin, it's helped quite a bit in being more regular for the sake of the rest of the world.

As folks have mentioned, contracting is great. That's what I do. You have the freedom to work as you see fit, without the paranoia of the damn alarm clock.

G'luck friend!

The main advantage of Rozerem over natural melatonin is that the dosage and quality are consistent. Since it's something I depend on I appreciate the assurances I get from the FDA :)
