  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

  DSPD is a disorder of the body’s timing system—the biological clock. Individuals with DSPD might have an unusually long circadian cycle, might have a reduced response to the resetting effect of daylight on the body clock, and/or may respond overly to the delaying effects of evening light and too little to the advancing effect of light earlier in the day. […] The syndrome usually develops in early childhood or adolescence. An adolescent version may disappear in late adolescence or early adulthood; otherwise, DSPD is a lifelong condition. […] A chief difficulty of treating DSPD is in maintaining an earlier schedule after it has been established, as the patient’s body has a strong tendency to reset the sleeping schedule to its intrinsic late times. […] Long-term success rates of treatment have seldom been evaluated. However, experienced clinicians acknowledge that DSPD is extremely difficult to treat.

  Nearly 50% of people with DSPD have a relative with the condition, according to research published in Chronobiology International. […] Light exposure, particularly to blue light: Scientists know that exposure to blue light — like the kind emitted from computers, TVs, and smartphones — can suppress melatonin production. “And that can interfere with the circadian rhythm and contribute to the development or exacerbation of DSPD in some individuals,” says Singh. […] If your health care provider suspects a circadian rhythm disorder like DSPD, they’ll most likely have you wear a sleep tracker or maintain a sleep log, tracking when you’re asleep and when you’re awake. They may even suggest a sleep study to rule out other possible causes of your sleep issues, such as sleep apnea. […] The good news: Many cases of DSPD are resolved by the time a person reaches their 20s. And in the meantime, there are effective treatments to try, sometimes in combination.

• #74 Ask the Doctor: Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome or Idiopathic Hypersomnia? – Hypersomnia Foundation

  https://www.hypersomniafoundation.org/ask-the-doctor-delayed-sleep-phase-syndrome-or-ih/

  The diagnosis of delayed sleep phase syndrome, also called delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD), is based on a history of a consistent (for 3 months or more) delay in the timing of the sleep episode at night, with the complaint of an inability to fall asleep or wake up at conventional times. The person will typically fall asleep very late in the night (around 1 to 6 AM) and, if there is no social or professional obligation to wake up at a certain time, will only wake up in the late morning or afternoon. The person with DSWPD will often complain of daytime sleepiness because of the need to wake up well before the time of spontaneous awakening, resulting in an insufficient amount of sleep. […] It is indeed important to rule out a DSWPD before confirming a diagnosis of IH. Usually the history will be very different as people with IH do not typically demonstrate delayed bedtimes, and will not wake up refreshed even when given the opportunity to sleep as much as they want, in contrast to DSWPD. A sleep diary (with actigraphy, if available) can be useful to differentiate the 2 conditions.

  Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) is a condition that affects your ability to fall asleep and wake up on time. The delay in your sleep schedule is off by at least two hours. This condition affects your internal clock. […] Most people with DSPS describe themselves as a night owl or an evening person, but theyre not. If you have DSPS, youre not able to regulate when your body tells you to fall asleep. […] Delayed sleep phase syndrome is a type of sleep disorder called a circadian rhythm sleep disorder. Your circadian rhythm is a 24-hour cycle that helps you stay awake during the day and fall asleep at night. This cycle regulates how certain parts of your body function, like your body temperature and digestion. […] There are two types of delayed sleep phase syndrome characterized by when the sleep hormone (melatonin) signals your circadian rhythm. This signal (onset) tells your internal clock that its time to go to sleep: […] Circadian aligned: The melatonin onset is less than two hours before you fall asleep. […] Circadian misaligned: The melatonin onset is more than two hours before you fall asleep or it doesnt happen until after sleep begins.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

  DSPD is a disorder of the body’s timing system—the biological clock. Individuals with DSPD might have an unusually long circadian cycle, might have a reduced response to the resetting effect of daylight on the body clock, and/or may respond overly to the delaying effects of evening light and too little to the advancing effect of light earlier in the day. […] The syndrome usually develops in early childhood or adolescence. An adolescent version may disappear in late adolescence or early adulthood; otherwise, DSPD is a lifelong condition. […] A chief difficulty of treating DSPD is in maintaining an earlier schedule after it has been established, as the patient’s body has a strong tendency to reset the sleeping schedule to its intrinsic late times. […] Long-term success rates of treatment have seldom been evaluated. However, experienced clinicians acknowledge that DSPD is extremely difficult to treat.

  Numerous factors are likely to contribute to the pathophysiology of DSWPS, including behavioural and psychological, as well as biological factors. […] The importance of evening artificial light exposure as a phase delaying mechanism cannot be underestimated. […] It has also been postulated that the intrinsic circadian period (or tau) of patients with DSWPD, which are determined by the temporal course of the molecular feedback loops within neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, may be modestly longer than that of normal chronotypes. […] A further mechanism contributing to the development of DSWPD is likely to be intrinsic differences in sleep homeostasis in individuals who develop the disorder. […] Relapses in treatment and decompensation are common, and patients should be counselled for this eventuality, and encouraged to follow their original treatment plans should this occur.

  Delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSP) is a circadian rhythm disorder. It consists of a typical sleep pattern that is “delayed” by two or more hours from societal norms. This delay occurs when your internal sleep clock (circadian rhythm) is shifted later at night and later in the morning. Once sleep occurs, the sleep is generally normal. But the delay leads to a pattern of sleep that is later than what is desired or considered socially acceptable. This pattern can be a problem when it interferes with work or social demands. […] One sign of DSP is difficulty falling asleep until late at night. Another sign is having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning for work or school. These signs can make DSP look like insomnia. Also, like insomnia, DSP can impair your alertness and performance during the day. It can lead to excessive sleepiness and fatigue.

  https://www.hypersomniafoundation.org/ask-the-doctor-delayed-sleep-phase-syndrome-or-ih/

  The diagnosis of delayed sleep phase syndrome, also called delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD), is based on a history of a consistent (for 3 months or more) delay in the timing of the sleep episode at night, with the complaint of an inability to fall asleep or wake up at conventional times. The person will typically fall asleep very late in the night (around 1 to 6 AM) and, if there is no social or professional obligation to wake up at a certain time, will only wake up in the late morning or afternoon. The person with DSWPD will often complain of daytime sleepiness because of the need to wake up well before the time of spontaneous awakening, resulting in an insufficient amount of sleep. […] It is indeed important to rule out a DSWPD before confirming a diagnosis of IH. Usually the history will be very different as people with IH do not typically demonstrate delayed bedtimes, and will not wake up refreshed even when given the opportunity to sleep as much as they want, in contrast to DSWPD. A sleep diary (with actigraphy, if available) can be useful to differentiate the 2 conditions.

[…] Light exposure, particularly to blue light: Scientists know that exposure to blue light — like the kind emitted from computers, TVs, and smartphones — can suppress melatonin production. “And that can interfere with the circadian rhythm and contribute to the development or exacerbation of DSPD in some individuals,” says Singh. […] If your health care provider suspects a circadian rhythm disorder like DSPD, they’ll most likely have you wear a sleep tracker or maintain a sleep log, tracking when you’re asleep and when you’re awake. They may even suggest a sleep study to rule out other possible causes of your sleep issues, such as sleep apnea.
