Delayed sleep phase disorder

My 12 year old has it and has had it since he was an infant. He has been taking a small dose of melatonin each day. 300 mcg. Even 1 mg is too much so start with the smallest available dose. Good luck.

That's really helpful thanks. How does the melatonin work for him? Does it regulate his schedule or does it just help him to fall asleep?
