set the channel description: The nice therapy room we all need sometimes

On the one hand, my mental health is better when I sleep more.  On the other, our finances suffer when I sleep more, because I've been accomplishing that by taking a 1-2 hour nap during work hours after getting the kids off to school.

Obviously the simple answer would be to go to sleep earlier.
But my circadian rhythm is set to me not feeling sleepy between 10-12pm right now - I'm not sure if that's how I naturally, am or if I just messed it up by staying up too late?  Is there a way to fix that?

Also I have a baby who likes to wake up about midnight ...
And a side job that's pretty difficult to do without staying up late ...

I used to use sleeping pills as a way to "reset" when my usual bedtime is (if I got used to focusing on other things and not going to sleep), though that works best in conjunction with conscious habit change

Something like melatonin etc. would probably do the same

i finally stopped melatonin, i feel much better without it

As a rule I think substances should be used to fill in gaps while you change behavior

i used it to get to sleep because my mind would spin and spin and i couldn't sleep. After starting frum finance i'm exhausted enough that I just fall asleep now instead haha

In what way did you not feel as good while taking them?

like that was maybe still some melatonin left over, not sure. also dreams get weird with it

I already take unisom I feel zero effects from it
