Abstract
This comprehensive chapter covers manifold aspects of delayed sleep-wake phase disorder. This condition of extreme “night owl” circadian preference captures predominantly adolescents and young adults in misalignment with the timing of the light-dark cycle and is associated with considerable disability. Clinical features and comorbidities, differential diagnosis, and epidemiology are covered, as well as pathophysiology and new findings in genetics. Treatment studies of light therapy, melatonin, and other modalities are presented and referenced in detail. Avenues for future research are thoroughly discussed, with the need for collaboration between the scientific and clinical communities.
