Light certainly makes a difference for me. If I get enough exercise in the daylight, preferably sunshine, then I sleep a lot better. And of course, if I get enough exercise and sleep, I generally feel a lot better. I have daylight light bulbs in my bathroom to try to help with short winter days
I've tried melatonin lately, and with 9 mg. at bedtime at 10:00, I have a less restless sleep. I started with one 3 mg. tablet at 8:00 as my naturopath advised, but 9 mg. at bedtime works better for me. I'm going to try taking another 3 mg. tablet the first time I wake up at night - it used to be 11:30, and now it's closer to 1:30 or 2:00 - and see if that lets me sleep past 5:00.
I'm glad you're feeling well enough to post all this interesting information again, Carolyn. Hope things are going well.
