This feels like this article was written in response to this article from Slate Star Codex since this also mentions DSPS:

> I have it fairly bad. My body naturally wants to go to bed around 2 a.m. and rise around 10 a.m.

That was my cycle as well and I wouldn't describe it as "fairly bad" it's definitely later but not egregious.

The SSC article recommends .3mg melatonin 7 hours before desired sleep and it worked like a charm for me (along with rituals for earlier sleep and better sleep hygiene).

Within a few weeks I was going to bed at 10pm and naturally waking up at around 7am. Now I regularly operate on this schedule and I was kind of surprised at how quickly I was able to adjust.
