    Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome

    Uploaded by

    Reshma
    Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) is a circadian rhythm disorder that causes a significant delay in a person's sleep-wake cycle, most commonly seen in adolescents. It is characterized by difficulties falling asleep at conventional bedtimes and waking up at normal times, resulting in delays of 2-3 hours. Causes include genetics, changes during puberty, mental health issues, poor sleep habits, and late night stimulation. Symptoms include fatigue, mood changes, difficulty concentrating, and depression. Treatment focuses on regulating light exposure and gradually shifting sleep patterns earlier through chronotherapy and good sleep hygiene.

    What is sleep ?
    Sleep is a physical and mental resting state
    in which a person becomes relatively
    inactive and unaware of the environment.
    In essence, sleep is a partial detachment
    from the world, where most external
    stimuli are blocked from the senses.
    SLEEP IN
    ADOLESCEN
    TS
    • Sleep is very important
    during periods of brain
    maturation.
    • Adolescents need about 8.5 to
    9 hours of sleep every night.
    • The biological clock of
    children shifts during
    adolescents, which leads
    them to a later bed time
    schedule.
    ADOLESCENT VICIOUS SLEEP CYCLE
    SLEEP DISORDERS IN
    ADOLESCENTS
    • Sleep Apnea: Abnormal behaviour that occurs during sleep.
    • Insomnia: A sleep disorder that is characterized by difficulty in
    falling asleep.
    • Narcolepsy: Chronic neurological disorder involving the loss of the
    brain’s ability to regulate sleep wake cycle.
    • Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome: It is characterised by a remarked
    delay in the conventional bed time of the person.
    DELAYED SLEEP
    PHASE
    SYNDROME
    • Delayed sleep phase syndrome
    (DSPS) is a circadian rhythm disorder
    which shifts the sleep wake cycle
    significantly later than what is
    socially acceptable.
    • This is most common in adolescents.
    • It is a problem with your body clock.
    • They may have 2-3 hrs of delay in
    sleep and wake time.
    • It may also interfere with daily
    scheduled activities.

    SLEEP DIARY
    • A sleep diary is a record of
    an individual’s sleeping and
    walking times with related
    information, usually over a
    period of several weeks.
    • It will help you to track your
    sleep, allowing you to see
    habits and trends that are
    helping you sleep and that
    can be improved.
    • It will give you a better idea
    of sleep patterns and habits.

    phase and sleep is closely
    associated with their overall
    development,
    • Provide them with proper
    guidance.
    • Always try to keep a good
    sleep hygiene.
