Abstract
Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD) is assumed to be caused by a persistent 2–6 h delay in the timing of patients’ biological clocks. Another mechanism, the endogenous circadian rhythm period lengths (i.e., taus) of core temperature and melatonin may contribute to the maintenance of the phase delay and resistance
to effective treatment. It was hypothesized that DSPD patients would display significantly longer taus compared to controls, thus contributing to its aetiology.
