Shift Change- medicine time change

Hey everybody, long time! Doing well on my dose of NDT but about to change up my sleep/wake cycle. I already have a circadian disorder and now will basically be going to bed at the time I would normally be getting up which is going to change the times I take my thyroid meds, which I take in split doses. Does anyone have experience with this or foresee any problems? Also, this is for 4 days per week and on the other 3 days would probably try to sleep more in my normal time frame. Thanks!

The best way I can think would be, for the days you are going to bed in the morning, just delay your normal med dosage until you get up in the afternoon, and then take your second dose about 6 hours later.  In other words, just delay your normal routine by the amount of time you sleep.  When you are  back on your normal schedule, then you can just go back to your normal routine.
