sleepless nights is one of the toughest things to deal with
before you go diagnosing yourself, seat for a few minutes and see if you can pin point the disturbence, and figure out what it is that is bothering you. (you will probably find more than one thing, but that is good) because that is where you will find the answer and it will than disapear forever. Feel free to email me if you dont know what i am talking about lol

Having a job MAKES you get to bed so that you can get up at a certain
time -- otherwise you get to work late and THAT is bad. I know since I don't have a job and can't sleep regular hours. Lots of things affect sleep at night. Did you know that green peppers have the most vitamin C of anything? Vitamin C keeps me awake. So, maybe setting the alarm for 6 a.m., or whatever time you want to start your day, and eating some green peppers to get you going each day, until you start to naturally wake up at the time you want to start the day each day.... Grapefruit juice interferes with anti-depression meds, so stay away from it..... Cherries have too much melatonin in them. Melatonin helps you to sleep but too much of it gives me epileptic tics, so I got off of it, too.
I am not sure why you would want to set your alarm for 6 p.m. unless you have a night-shift job....

I think you will be OK... circadian rythms or not :-) All Mommys go through sleep deprivation of one sort or another and kids are always innoportune in their demands from us... we all survive it, you will too sweetie... I would try setting a bed time and sticking to it... and setting the alarm for 7 hours after that time to wake up. Try it for 3 weeks and see if your body clock adapts to it. An eye mask and ear plugs will help as would not watching TV, eating or reading in bed. Bed should be to sleep alone... Try it and see what happens... :-) xoxoxo

That is some insightful material about the circadian rhythms. This brought me back to my Introduction to Psychology back in college.
