[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else have experience with this? I've been a night owl my whole life, but having 9-5 jobs and kids means I've basically been in permanent jet lag for 20+ years. I've been suffering from worsening depression, anxiety, and GI issues and I just read about delayed sleep-wake phase disorder for the first time this morning. I'm flabbergasted that this is a thing. It all makes sense now; my father was the same way but he was a freelance writer and slept most of the day; many of my relatives are the same way, and their lives have all been hampered by the sleep issue. Unfortunately my 15 year old daughter has fallen into the same trap in recent years (I pray for her that it's just puberty related) so while it's probably too late for me to fix things, I really want to help her. We already do things like trying to stick to a steady schedule, avoiding screens at night, getting exercise, using a full spectrum lamp in the morning. If you suffer from this too, can you please tell me your story and what helped or didn't help? Any recommendations for clinics in the DMV that specialize in this?  [/quote]
