Re: [fast5] Awake in the wee hours...

Yes, try that and let us know how it goes.

What is interesting to me is that some people find that they sleep so much better on FF. Some have trouble getting to sleep. Some have a problem for a week or so and then it just resolves. It would be good if we could begin to sort out why some have these problems and others don't. So the more info here the better IMO

I should add that right now, my window is the middle 5 hours of my
day... about noon to 5p. Maybe having a later window will solve the
problem.
