That helps you get to sleep, but unfortunately alcohol worsens sleep quality. you'll find yourself waking up in the middle of the night, or not getting enough deep sleep so you wake up tired.MangoMan wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 11:28 amNot a fan of Ambien. If you must take something, I prefer Temazepam. But all of those things can be habit forming. You will probably be exhausted and not need anything, but if you are still feeling edgy, drink half a shot of bourbon, scotch, or cognac an hour before bedtime*.
*YMMV, consult your MD, etc
I suggest melatonin from a reputable supplier and in LOW dose (0.5 mg), along with AM light therapy and a set bedtime schedule following standard sleep hygiene measures. If the problem is a circadian rhythm disturbance, this is the best way to fix it. Once your clock is set (a few days) you won't need the melatonin or light therapy.
This is also how you handle jet lag (see the website jetlagrooster for details). I tried their suggested time shift plan the last time I went to Europe for a conference, and it definitely reduced the time to adjust to the new schedule.
