Reply to comment by PlannerSean in [OC] Took a look into Hello Fresh by jakeman8888

We've been using it for at least three years. Personally, it's changed my life. It's made me into a better cook altogether, even when not using their recipes, and tbh even taught me how to better shop for ingredients on my own (for the days when I don't make a Hello Fresh). Its also introduced me to a ton of food I didn't know about.

Sorry, I didn't know much comment would upset you. I thought you'd find it interesting.

Basically, even though melatonin can provide great short term treatment, there's a strong risk of relapse when left to your own devices. Your brain is sinply hard coded to a particular sleep schedule. However, it's not really a big deal, because you can function just fine with an alarm clock. Plus, you can find work that works with your natural schedule.

You might have delayed sleep phase disorder. I do too.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it other than it's hard to conform to society's normal morning oriented structure. Even if you force yourself to wake up early for years you can never truly break out of it.
