the weird thing is
since in fall we go back an hour - getting an hour extra sleep, it would make more sense if she were awake earlier... i would not expect her to be sleepier. of course in general the season is giving us less and less light, and this will be more pronounced depending how far north/south you are.
you could still try the melatonin strategy, with psych approval of course, to reset her rhythm, but i think the seasonal change is more at play here with the reduced number of daylight hours, than the actual 1 hour time change.
try to keep her to a normal number of hours of sleep, and on a regular schedule, even if she is tired. sleeping too much can bring on depression. too little can induce mania - avoid sleep deprivation.
