We all agree on the fact that a poor quality sleep affects the whole daily life between work, home and family. But it seems that there is also a disorder that is otherwise known as DSPS (Delayed sleep phase syndrome), i.e. a delayed sleep syndrome.

What is this type of disorder?

DSPS is a circadian rhythm disorder that affects a person's ability to go to bed at a "normal" hour. No matter what you do, the body does not work according to an acceptable schedule, but these people usually sleep between two and six in the morning. Four hours of sleep in total means turning into a "night owl". People with delayed sleep phase syndrome have difficulty not only trying to explain what they are experiencing, but also adjusting to a normal sleep schedule.

What causes delayed sleep syndrome?

There is no single factor that explains why some people suffer from this disorder. After all, some people's internal clocks don't match a circadian (sleep-wake) rhythm. What researchers have found is that many aspects of life can affect this condition. These factors are:

- Genetics

-Changes after puberty

- Psychological and neurological disorders
