I started microdosing melatonin based off of Eliezer’s success. I have the same sleep disorder. So far it is playing havok and giving me different results every night, but I am going to stick with it for a month to see if it evens out. Taking the melatonin at 11 and going to sleep actually feeling sleepy at 2am is still a huge improvement over the status quo before.
I’m pretty sure I have something similar-ish with regards to drifting sleep cycles, but it’s a whole lot less resistant to sleep treatment—forget 5-6 hours, 1mg melatonin an hour before bed is fine.

Isn’t Eliezer’s solution to take the melatonin 5-7 hours before you want to go to sleep?
MetaMed’s solution, to non-24 sleep disorder in particular.

Yes, the interval has fallen out organically. I take it at 11 and go to sleep whenever I get sleepy. This has averaged 2am so far.
Can you describe, or link to a description of this method?
