Trying CBT-Insomnia time restricted sleeping which is challenging. I have a fast running circadium rythm. Ie delayed time falling asleep with long awakenings thoughout the night. Would would like to try light therapy using bright light glasses. Is it better in my case to use bright light therapy later in the evening rather than in the am?

Have you been diagnosed with delayed sleep-wake phase disorder or do you feel the symptoms you described mean that you have delayed sleep-wake phase disorder?

My understanding is that those diagnosed with circadian rhythm disorders don’t usually struggle a whole lot with wakefulness after falling asleep — it’s just that their bodies want sleep to happen a lot earlier or a lot later than what is convenient in normal society!
