I try to avoid the evil influence of the daystar. I live in the lower half of the United States, and in a region in which it becomes uncomfortably hot during the day.
I suggest buying a blue light for light therapy, and using that in the morning. Melatonin at night is also pretty effective at cutting down insomnia (but can only do so much for me). Doing a significant amount of exercise during the day will also help you fall asleep more quickly, but that isn’t really time-saving.
Does a blue light really work? Do you use one yourself? I’m considering buying one for next fall (Germany gets pretty dark), but I’m still fairly skeptical given how useless most other treatments for sleep/mood disorders are.

I use one myself sometimes. I cannot quantify its effectiveness, though, and so that’s not terribly helpful.
