Can melatonin be used to cure advanced sleep phase syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Light therapy: Liight therapy can help with advanced sleep phase syndrome, by keeping you awake so that you go to sleep at a more "normal" time. Melatonin, on the other hand, can help with delayed sleep phase syndrome, to help you to go to sleep earlier. See a neurology or pulmonary sleep specialist for more help. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/sleepdisorders.html
