Woah.
Posted by jen November 30th, 2002 in Uncategorized.I think I have delayed sleep phase syndrome.
The clincher: “DSPS is often thought to be sustained by lifestyle rather than to shape it. Many physicians observe people in careers that allow alternative sleep-wake patterns, like work-at-home jobs, computer programming, or artistic careers. The lifestyle associated with these types of jobs may feed the disorder. However, DSPS seems counterproductive to other, more predictable work schedules.”
Ding ding ding! Reading those pages was like I was reading someone write ABOUT ME, every damn page.
Mannn. I need to call a Doctor. (hell I found out I had scoliosis from reading a Judy Blume book, I spent 5 years in a back brace, so discovering things I have via an article or book for me is not new)

ohmg! that sounds like me too!!! hell, the only time I’m up at 6 am (like now) is when I stay up……. wild… I was told the full spectrum light bulbs help too….
I was thinking about those full-spectrum bulbs, too. Besides the sleeping problems, I’m much more easily depressed in the winter, and I live in a basement, which has very limited natural light. I’m hoping my fancy new doctor will let me know where to find them.
just look them up online.. they are everywhere and not too expensive.. supposed to cut down electrical use too.. I’m gonna ban incandescents in my house soon…. :o)
Holy (something witty) Batman!
Sounds word-for-word like me! Including all of the stress and anxiety.
Hrm… Worker’s comp, anyone?
