De<strong>la</strong>yed Sleep-Phase Syndrome<br />
ICSD, 2005<br />
Psychopathology is not particu<strong>la</strong>rly more common in DSPS<br />
patients compared to patients with other forms of “insomnia.”<br />
In adolescents, failure to cooperate with a p<strong>la</strong>n to reschedule<br />
the patient’s sleep may be a sign of clinical depression.<br />
Prevalence: found evidence suggesting a 7% in adolescents<br />
Age of Onset: Adolescence appears to be the most common<br />
period, but childhood cases have been reported. Onset after<br />
age 30 is rare.<br />
Sex Ratio: Case series in the literature have varied between<br />
a 10:1 male:female ratio in adolescents to 1:1 in a mixed<br />
series of adults and adolescents.
