Abstract
A significant delay in the timing of endogenous circadian
rhythms has been associated with Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase
Disorder (DSWPD). However, recent empirical evidence indicates
that the disorder is heterogeneous and other psychological and
physiological mechanisms may account for the sleep disturbances.
The aim of the present study was to further explore the aetiology of
DSWPD by examining patients’ nocturnal melatonin profiles relative
to normally-entrained good sleepers.
