I've got melatonin and have used it for years. I find it especially useful if I wake up in the middle of the night -- one relatively low dose tablet gets me right back to sleep. But when the insomnia hit the melatonin did nothing.
We've had three days so far of decent sun and I had no trouble sleeping last night. Despite temperatures in the 20s today I still managed an hour of the deck (appropriately bundled) for tea and some reading. And I have family members with SAD, so I'll get some input from them on therapy lights.
