Nothing that a 3 MG tablet of Melatonin can't also deal with.
You can buy it over the counter and it's cheap. Jim WA6EKS

Subject: It's legit
Here it is; the condition has been well described by others but
apparently we totals often have body clocks that run wrong
because of
no light perception. I have been in the test study for the new
drug
for nearly three years now and have been taking the drug for
almost
two of them. I may have been on the placebo at first - I haven't
been told and I don't believe that the testing organization knew,
either. There were a number of test locations around the U S and
in
Germany. The test was sponsored by Vanda Pharmaceuticals and the
drug received FDA approval last week. The drug is:
Tasimelteon and is a 20 mg. capsule that you take 1 hour before
bedtime. It is not a "sleeping pill" so there is no effect in
the
morning. I believe that the medication has improved my
sleep/wake
pattern. Not a miracle cure but helpful. My body clock was set
at
26 hours or so, so as the cycle progressed I would get really
sleepy
at odd times of the day and it was tough to be alert and on top
of
things. That is definitely better and I probably sleep better at
night, although I don't always sleep through until morning but I
never have. Not too big a problem until they wrecked overnight A
M radio!
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! This is to be a
prescription
drug and of course I have no idea about the pricing. The
ethicacy
study will now end - I have perhaps 100 capsules left and will
see
what happens to me next week. It has been an interesting study
and
hopefully others will benefit from it.
Thanks for reading.
