These treatments allow patients to function better in daily routine for longer periods of time. Unfortunately, the research results are still inconclusive. This condition results from a person inadvertently delaying bedtime and then, subsequently, attempting sleep at a conventional time. The underlying cause of the syndrome is, again, circadian rhythm disruption. The patient repetitively delays sleep, influences rhythm, and then surprises circadian patterns with a sudden re-adherence to conventional sleep indicators.
Disruption stems from the inability to phase-compensate for each day that bedtime has been delayed.
In the case of DSPS, patients typically train themselves, gradually, to respond to external indicators of sleep-wake time. Find a sleep specialist near you. Join a live chat or threaded forum .
