Delayed Sleep Phase (Melatonin)

from Circadian Rhtyhms Sleep Disorders by Marco "uBiK" Bonini

/

about

is characterized by a stable sleep schedule that is substantially later than the conventional or desired time. Patients with DSP have sleep onset insomnia and extreme difficulty arising when they attempt to conform to a conventional work schedule or other social demands. A tendency for a delayed sleep schedule is very common during adolescence and can be a factor in academic failure. However, in these otherwise normal young people, it is unclear whether this is a manifestation of intrinsic pathology (being “stuck” with a delayed sleep propensity) or a socially reinforced sleep-wake schedule that can be readily modified if circumstances require it.Psychophysiological insomnia must be ruled out as a cause for the sleep onset insomnia characteristic of DSPD. The etiology is unknown. Some investigators have suggested that the pathophysiology may involve an intrinsic circadian period that is longer than average, but other explanations involving abnormalities in the light phase response curve (PRC) are also possible. For example, hypersensitivity to evening light could be a precipitating or maintaining factor for the phase delay in DSPD.

melatonin : is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates sleepiness. it is made in the brain, where tryptophan is converted into serotonin and then into melatonin, which is released at night by the pineal gland to induce and maintain sleep. melatonin supplementation may be used as a sleep aid, both as a hypnotic and as a chronobiotic.
