DSPS/Insomnia

2015-10-19 21:24:42
Can any Somnologist put some lights on DSPS/Insomnia, Melatonin & Light Therapy? I guess, I am victim of DSPS since my college days. It started with late night study. Can anyone suggest right dosage of Melatonin. I am not on medication now. My friend Doc told to try Melatonin. How effective is Melatonin in DSPS? Thanks

Hello, Insomnia needs to be evaluated in detail.  Many times it is due to poor sleep hygiene and conditioning. Before resorting to medicines it it better to get yourself evaluated to see if any behavioural modifications can help.
