I am having major issues with my sleep schedule. I've been working 9-4am wednesday through saturday, and not falling asleep until 5 usually because I have to shower, put my stuff away and unwind. I go to sleep at 5 and usually wake up between 12 and 2 depending on how rough of a night it was. I had a super busy crazy night Saturday and didnt' get to bed until 6am and didn't wake up until 3pm...and as a result last night I couldn't fall asleep until 5 and didn't wake up until 2. I tried setting an alarm but I slept through it anyways.
Today I went on a super long bike ride in hopes of tiring myself out and being able to fall asleep by 2 because I hate WASTING my non-work days by sleeping in. Ideally I want to be up and about by 10, which means falling asleep by 2am.
I've tried melatonin, and while it does work, it makes me SUPER nauseous the next day, like morning-sickess level nausea- and it makes it almost not worth it to take it.
Is there a brand out there that doesn't cause nausea?? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I don't work Sun-Tues and I'd really like to experience the daylight, as all I can do once it gets dark is stay inside reading and on the computer as I don't have any friends to go out with or anything to do at night.
