ok, so i think this goes here... what i am curious about is if anyone else has odd sleep patterns regardless of the CH cycles. 

as in, do you have wonky sleep schedules?  i know i certainly do.  our 18D tells me i likely have a sleep disorder, because he has seen me go on three or four hours of sleep  over the course of six or seven days, more than once.  its not that i cannot sleep, i just often go several days where i am just not tired or sleepy.

if CH has something to do with a wacky hypothalamus, then i guess it would make sense that our sleep patterns would be wacky as well, but now that i think about it, i dont recall reading anything about it for times when we are not in cycle, or when they are being successfully treated with something. 

any thoughts?

Hello there Auban,

A lot of us take 10mg of Melatonin last thing at night for this problem.

Melotonin is created naturally in the brain as a response to the day/night light cycle. However, as CHers also have a wonky Circaedian clock they’re production of Melatonin is often a bit off.

You can get it in any drug store or similar.

It does take a couple of weeks to get the benefit.

Peter.
