Even the tiny amount of melatonin I take heightens light sensitivity, to the point where I have to cover up laptop lights etc. to get to sleep now. And I reliably wake sometime in the hour after dawn, so sleeping in doesn't really happen (in the summer anyway).

Not a major problem - if I want more sleep I can just go to bed earlier or not take the melatonin. Latter course keeps me up a bit later, of course.

Real exercise is hard to make time for while primary-caregiving but otherwise my life is much more organized and healthful now. Melatonin made it possible. In part by making regularized (not binge) tea intake possible.

I am not. I'm still learning of such things as make a luxury of themselves as one ages. I often marvel at your struggle, here, and am rooting for some semblance of regularity.

The recent change has been from utter lifelong irregularity to perfect regularity, so no more rooting or marveling needed. (Knock on wood.) One of those things where you feel extremely lucky till you remember the earlier extremer unluck corrected.
