Sleep Experiment -- A Month With No Artificial Light
http://jdmoyer.com/2010/03/04/sleep-e...
"I mentioned how my family (it's not something you can do without your whole household participating) went without artificial light (including all electric lights, TV, and computers) after sundown, for all of June in 2009.

Circadian rhythms during and after three months in solitude underground
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic...
"The existence and persistence of the habitual circadian (Halberg, Halberg, Barnum & Bittner, 1959) rhythms of renal function have been studied in Eskimos and other Arctic dwellers who are not subjected to the usual alternation of night and day, as well as in inhabitants of temperate latitudes spending the summer in the Arctic and living on abnormal time schedules (Lobban, 1960)."

"Melatonin is a hormone found naturally in the body. Melatonin used as medicine is usually made synthetically in a laboratory. It is most commonly available in pill form, but melatonin is also available in forms that can be placed in the cheek or under the tongue. This allows the melatonin to be absorbed directly into the body."

http://articles.chicagotribune.com/20...
"Last month the American Medical Association issued a policy recognizing 'that exposure to excessive light at night, including extended use of various electronic media, can disrupt sleep or exacerbate sleep disorders, especially in children and adolescents."
