A member asked:

I do not fall asleep til 3am and i wake up at 9am. do i have a sleep disorder?

Possibly: Or it could be that is your habit. If you want to go to sleep earlier, try initiating your sleep routine 1 hour earlier every 1-2 weeks until you push back your sleep cycle to the time you want. Melatonin can be helpful in regulating sleep cycles.
