Have you ever stopped your cycling?

I've seen a lot of posts/comments about fixing sleep times with things like low dose melatonin hours before bed or long light therapy. But it seems that the common theme is that these treatments only allow the person to sleep at night without actually changing the internal shifting rhythm. People either get more and more distupted over time and go back to free-running, or they have a higher tolerance for feeling tired and foggt and just accept the lower quality of life that comes with this "entrainment". This is what happened to me too, each time I tried entraining.

Has anyone experienced this differently? Have you entrained and stopped the internal cycle from moving and causing you problems in the background? If so, how did you do it? Were you originally DSPD and were able to go back to that, or was it something else?

I am wondering if we as a community can figure out why this sleep-circadian rhythm disconnect happens so often and how we can fix it. Personally, I wonder if there are some other organs we need to specifically target that are causing the problems, or maybe we need a new way to directly target the SCN? Please share your thoughts.
