Preinfalk, I was seriously about to ask if you lived in Alaska…thank goodness I noticed your profile. I just sleep at weird times sometimes. I take naps, I sometimes fall asleep kinda early in the evening if I’m wiped out. I don’t care if it’s light or if the lights are on or if it’s pitch black. When I’m tired I sleep. However, I typically am not tired late at night. Maybe I just have problems, who knows? ---

I just don’t want to go to sleep at normal hours. I usually have a lot to do and I party at night if somethings going on. I run a bar with my brothers. Besides that If you want to go to sleep and you can’t I would look into melatonin. It’s natural and safe. If that doesn’t work I would see a psych and see what they have to offer like ambien or any benzodiazapene like xanax, klonopin, valium, or ativan. Good luck. ---
