Delayed sleep phase syndrome

<p>Is it BS? If I go to bed at like 4am around 2 or 3 days a week and past 2am like 3 days a week just because–not b/c I have to do hw, but b/c I don’t want to go to bed, could I have DSPS? IDK though, I don’t really try to sleep earlier than that, it’s just that I don’t feel like going to bed till like 4am. I probably don’t have DSPS and just have a messed-up sleeping pattern or whatever lol.</p>

<p>Anyone else go to bed similarly really late? And I mean b/c you want to–not b/c you are forced to stay up studying.</p>

<p>I go to bed at 4 PM until 11 or 12. Maybe I have hastened sleep phase syndrome.</p>

<p>How much sleep are you getting? It’s normal that a teenager’s internal clock is several hours behind, but seems to me like you can thrive on little amounts of sleep, which probably isn’t as much a defect/syndrome as it is a superpower.</p>

<p>Hahaha oh no I don’t exactly “thrive” on low sleep… And yet, I continue to go to bed really really late.</p>

<p>Oh well it’s probably just a natural thing. IDK why I don’t seem to want to go to bed earlier even if I’m sort of tired, though.</p>

<p>I was “diagnosed” with that. It’s just a diagnosis for the sake of a diagnosis. There’s not much that can be done to help, so I don’t see the need for one.</p>

<p>Try forcing yourself on an earlier schedule and increasing your physical activity. I had to do that recently, but my sleep pattern wasn’t near as late as you.</p>

<p>Mmm I already go to the gym like 5 hrs a week.</p>

<p>Last night I went to bed at 3:30am and woke up at 1:30pm. It’s 5:30am where I am now and I haven’t gone to bed yet. I have to wake up at 6:30am for school.</p>

<p>What is WRONG with me??? What should/can I do about this??? :O</p>

<p>You should stop reading CC threads late at night :3</p>

<p>Yes, I probably should.
