So, I constantly struggled with this because of ever shifting circadian clock. I recently found a strong appreciation for sleeping pills. You have no idea how happy I am because of them. No more hours of being awake trying to sleep followed by days of wanting to sleep but couldn't.

I suggest going for the pill for anyone who struggles.

Watch out, long term diphenhydramine use is linked to increased rates of dementia and alzheimers. I switched to natural herbal teas like valerian.

Thanks. I figured there will always be a side effect from pills so I avoided them. I use them a lot now but I am hoping to only use them when I need to force myself to sleep early.

Interesting to hear. I've been considering seeking out medication for sleeping. Do you use a benzo?

No, the cheapest diphenhydramine I could find.
