Circadian Support
Body-clock timing problems are corrected by re-timing the clock — under guidance.
Delayed sleep timing, shift-work disruption, and jet-lag are timing disorders, not a matter of sedation — so general sleep supplements are not the answer. The effective approach combines precisely timed light exposure with a chronobiotic taken at a specific hour, and the timing matters far more than the dose. Attempted without guidance, it is easy to shift your clock the wrong way.
A specialist sleep physician will map your current rhythm and give you a step-by-step re-timing plan — including a prescription chronobiotic where it is clinically appropriate.

Prescription options for circadian misalignment — after consultation
For circadian patterns, the treatment is timing, not sedation. The mainstay is timed low-dose melatonin paired with bright light therapy. The following classes may be considered after consultation.
-
Low-dose melatonin used chronobiotically — mainstay; timing matters more than dose size
-
Short-term Z-drug — adjunct only, briefly, during a re-timing window (acute shift change, severe jet lag)
Prescription medication is dispensed by Slumbr Sleep Clinic’s in-house pharmacy after a specialist physician consultation. Every script is a clinical decision made per patient.

Sleep-Onset Support
Delayed circadian timing often presents as sleep-onset difficulty too — onset support may help during re-timing.

Phase advance (waking too early) is the mirror image of the night-owl problem and may be relevant if you are over 55.
