Patogenesi
Hypersensitivity to evening light could be a
precipitating or maintaining factor for the phase
delay in DSPD (Aoki et al, 2001)
Uchiyama et al. (2000) found reduced sleep in
patients vs. controls following sleep deprivation,
and suggest that DSPD patients may have a
diminished ability to compensate for lost sleep,
and thus have difficulty falling asleep even when
they have previously awakened early
