Abstract
The efficacy of Bright Light Therapy for Delayed Sleep
Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD) is contingent upon an accurate
clinical assessment of circadian phase. However, the process of
determining this circadian phase can be costly and not yet readily
available in clinical setting. The present study investigated whether
more cost-effective estimates of circadian phase, such as self-
reported sleep timing, can be used to predict circadian phases and
guide the timing of light therapy in a sample of DSWPD.
