Abstract

See full text

A method for treating circadian rhythm disorders is described. The method involves the administration of melatonin from about 6 hours to about 19 hours prior to when the normal sleep phase should begin, depending on whether a phase advance shift in circadian rhythms or a phase delay shift is desired. This is typically from about 4 hours to about 17 hours prior to the time of endogenous melatonin onset.
