Has Dr. Peat said anything about this?

Ricky Gibby said:No offence but I have never heard about Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. What is that can you please explain. I think my grandma is suffering from the same. Please help!!!

Calm down, mister.
This syndrome is a b****, as it greatly impacts social life. It gets practically never diagnosed properly, and sufferers most of the time get drugged silly by ignorant doctors.
I bet that's what you went through.
Saddly, i didn't come across a remedy in Peat's material.
But the wikipedia article does mention light therapy as an aid in resetting sleep cycles. Plus maybe cannabis.

jyb said:I wonder if its due to something easily avoidable (like avoiding computer screen light for hours before bedtime) or due to hormones (so, something that could be improved by reducing stress and following RP's advice).
I suffer from late this late sleep onset symptom, and sometimes other insomnia symptoms, but until reading that Wikipedia article I thought it was just a consequence of poor sleep, itself a consequence of a bad metabolism.
Jenn said:Getting enough sunlight during the day definitely helps. Getting enough CO2 to the lungs helps (the lungs destroy seratonin) too. I found by accident when I am "wired" and really tired, but can't sleep, and I have already done all my other "remedies"(magnesium, sugar before bed, etc.) sleeping with my blanket partially over my mouth helps me hibernate. I need to create a large pocket for air,so I create a bit of a 50/50 mix. I can't handle all the way, I need a different mixture, I guess.

That's useful information. Since I continue to have delayed sleep onset problems, I started to wonder whether F.Lux is enough.
@frustrated: you mentioned earlier in this thread that you were emailing RP regarding blue light as the cause of delayed sleep onset, care to keep us updated on this?
frustrated said:Even if I'm not tired I can still get to bed and meditate myself to sleep whenever. The problem is if it's before 3am I almost always wake up after 10mins with an adrenaline rush. This pisses me off but after a while I get back to sleep and get an uninterrupted, refreshing, 9hours of sleep. If I just stay up till 5-6am I get to sleep the first time without the adrenaline rush.
