LOL! 'Sleep' indeed. Other things help, though....

More seriously, the only thing which makes me wonder is something which happened a few years back. I went to Nevada to work a well, and they had problems. Two of us ended up camping out in the desert for a week. No TV, radio, or electric lights, cooking over a fire, all that. Within two days, I was up with the dawn and asleep within 1/2 hour of nightfall.

IMHO, if you get rid of the artificial illumination, (or at least turn it off), radio, TV, etc. you might be able to go on a more solar cycle.

Unfortunately, in ND, that means up at 4:30 AM and to bed at 11:30 PM at the height of summer, and up at 8:30 Am and asleep at 7 PM in winter. Alaska would be even worse!

Wow, that's cool. You would be a candidate for that light box therapy.

Those boxes aren't that expensive. If you ever changed to daytime working hours, you should try one.

I just re-read your ND solar timing. I had no idea it was like that.

Thank goodness Texas isn't really all that different between winter and summer.
