Out of curiosity, did you have any luck at all with the glasses-style light therapy devices like the Luminette? I was having limited success with other forms of light therapy (and the rest of the laundry list of interventions), and some recommendations from an experimental non24 protocol (https://circadiaware.github.io/VLiDACMel-entrainment-therapy...) lead me to finally try the glasses type and it's oddly effective, so far. I'm waking up around 10:30 AM without alarms and without sliding, which has... literally never happened before. I'm just hoping it won't regress to the mean after another month.

I've got n24, the glasses work temporarily for me but i cant see them as a long term solution as the entrainment doesnt last. Dedicating 3-4 hours first thing every morning to staring at a painful light while getting nothing else done (no driving, no computer, no active work or exercise, no going out in public) simply defeats the purpose.

ed: I should caveat that some people will no doubt be able to do some kind of productive activity while wearing them, I've not yet been able to.
