Sleep disorder bullshit

[tamago23]

I'm so damn fed up with my sleeping disorder dictating my life. I'm angry that I would have gotten a job with a great company months ago, except that not being able to work mornings screwed it up. I'm resentful that I'm already dreading the week-long Scout Jamborees, since I know there's no way I can get up at 7 AM for more than one or two days at

Wow - best of luck with all this. I wish I could think of anything else constructive to add, but it sounds like you've tried pretty much everything other than what you're trying now... Hopefully this will do it.

I sure hope so. At least if this doesn't work, I know I've tried everything. :/ The NIH in the U.S. just published their research priorities for the next five years, and Circadian Rhythm Disorders are specifically on the list. So maybe with all the new research funding, some new treatments may appear.

my lightbox (verilux) makes me high, but it works. i definitely don't need it in CR but to mail it to you would cost a fortune : / good luck.

:) I need a specific kind of lightbox (low-intensity green wavelengths) - I can't risk the regular bright-whites since those can aggravate macular degeneration, and since my mom has MD and it may be familial, it's best to avoid the risk.
