Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS)
Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) is a disorder that occurs when a person regularly cannot fall asleep at their desired bedtime. It often starts in adolescence, although in some cases it can begin in childhood years. It is rare that it starts in someone older than 30.
Those who experience this syndrome often take two or more hours to fall asleep. This not only often results in difficulty waking at the desired time, but also in insufficient amounts of rest.
It is considered a debilitating condition because the sufferer’s sleep patterns do not adhere to the body's biological cycle that normally recurs at 24-hour intervals. Because of the inability to sleep at night, DSPS sufferers are often excessively sleepy during the day, which interferes with their every day activities.
