Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome

Starting to wonder if this may be the root of my problems. I've started making a sleep diary as per it's mention on the page. But so far the pattern is quite clear. Today for eg i woke at 2pm after sleeping for 13hours, i felt crap for the rest of the day, depressed, tired and lethargic. About 9pm i came to life, it's now 5am and i'm starting to get a little tired but i still feel quite good, in fact im smiling quite a bit and spent a couple hours after midnight doing some cooking.

For the life of me i can't get this same feeling of happiness and energy during the day no matter what i've tried to get a normal sleep time happening. Even if i don't go to sleep one night and day by the next night whenyoud expect me to be really tired due to not sleeping for 48 hours or so i still actually spring to life at night and can't sleep untill 5 or 6am.

I'm not on any AD's at the moment, but the difference between my depression during the day is amazing compared to right now 5am where i actually feel ok.

This post is probably pointless, but well i'm bored and there isn't much to do at this time of night :P

i've this problem as well, melatonin and parnate both helped quite a lot. when i feel awake in the morning and feel tired and out of energy at the end of the day its an amazing feeling, like i'm actually in tune with natural cycles.

Unfortunatly you can't get melatonin here in australia and parnate makes me very drowsy unless i take over 30mg but then i can't get out of bed because i faint non stop :( Same with anything that efects noradrenaline it seems, like reboxetine for eg.
